    My wife likes to talk during the movies(at home), and doesn’t like it when I’m too into the movie to respond to her properly. My solution is to only watch movies with her that I have already watched and liked.

      My partner can’t concentrate if I talk at all, but talking (insightful/funny, concise comments at appropriate times) is a pretty normal way my friends and I watched movies growing up. Sucks lol, how am I supposed to just sit on that obvious loop hole or horribly ADR’d line for another hour and a half??

      That’s worse for me. If I haven’t seen it, best I can do is try hard and hope I catch all the details myself.

      If I have seen it? I can’t help but notice that my friends are distracted during the best parts of the movie. Drives me mad. Then later they’ll be like eh I guess it was ok. Ok? Ok?! You missed the best parts! Gah…
