I actually had to pause a movie once and re-explain that that I’d never seen it before, either.

edit: the amount of upvotes this comment has gotten both validates and saddens me

I'm pretty sure I married your friend.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I perhaps did it too 😳

My 8 year old does this. Most of the time it's during movies I've already watched so I could answer her questions. But fuck man, just watch the movie and it will answer your questions. We spend more time talking about what's happening than watching/listening 🤦

[–] rowrowrowyourboat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she just wants to talk to you. For her, the movie experience is spending time with you.

We usually do end up talking for most of the movie. I guess I kind of do like doing that with her. I absolutely love your comment. Thank you for changing my perspective.

Its called rhetorical question. Mate is just thinking loud.

I'm that friend and I'm really sorry. I cant control it. :(

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have a friend like this too. I just stopped going to the movies with him because I want to stay friends.

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well in cinemas I'm obviously silent because there are strangers. I just like to talk when watching movies together privatly.

I think its really nice when the movie is a total brainfuck to make theorys with friends. If you just want to sit there in total silence even in private situations you could just watch the movie alone.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you can control it. And yes I usually just watch the movie alone.

I do this too, I'm thinking aloud. My girlfriend scolds me for "spoilers", which is funny because I'm just guessing what is going to happen based on other stuff I've seen.

Not my fault writers are terribly unimaginative lol

Every time I see this skull mask character I laugh, he just looks so stupid!

I think he’s from a COD game, but i’m not entirely sure.

[–] LordCirais@pawb.social 4 points 10 months ago

He's Ghost.

"Why is-"

"I don't know, it's almost like the movie is intentionally setting up questions to be answered later when the plot calls for it!"

[–] SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I google the plot of the movie and ruin the ending in my answers to those questions. Now they're a lot more careful with asking questions.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You are about one lab accident away from becoming a supervillain aren't you? But not the normal kind, the kind that people sorta see their pov.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago

I'll have to check the villain registry to see if Spoiler Alert is already taken

[–] ech@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago (4 children)

My family does this. Even if I have watched it, if it's a movie worth watching, it's gonna answer all necessary questions. Just give it some damn time!

Maybe they got something that you missed. I often miss details like that.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Could be that they think they missed something

[–] grayman@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Like from yapping? Shut up and watch the movie.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No just sometimes people don't catch everything or don't figure things out as quickly as others
