I’m pretty sure I married your friend.
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 🤦
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.
“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!”
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!
Still waiting for an answer to the Italian job. I should’ve asked more questions honestly.
There is only one answer: Buy a Mini Cooper
I think that he was only supposed to blow the fucking doors off.
My family does this because they didn’t bother to pay attention so I actually do know better than them what’s going on
Could be that they think they missed something
Like from yapping? Shut up and watch the movie.
No just sometimes people don’t catch everything or don’t figure things out as quickly as others
That’s what rewatching is for
Jesus
Maybe they got something that you missed. I often miss details like that.
My wife does this all the time. I make her pause and then we chat a bit. Works well

My sister is ADHD so she legit has real questions that I can totally help with despite having seen the same stuff so far. But of course she has no idea which stuff is intentionally vague and which stuff she hasn’t been able to connect that was intended to be solved so far. So if it’s an intentionally vague moment my answer is “we don’t know yet”.
I definitely get that it can be annoying if you have no idea why they are asking. But they wouldn’t have learned that behaviour if it didn’t occasionally matter. Since this behaviour is common, and ADHD is common, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s always the case. But it’s probably only some people with ADHD, depending on how theirs presented. And of course some people may have this trait of ADHD without enough of the rest of the traits to be able to get diagnosed.
But yeah, it’s one of the traits of ADHD that makes them feel like they must not be smart, despite any evidence to the contrary. Cuz they just don’t “get” what are obvious clues to other people. But it’s simple topic linking, basically their brains see everything in it’s own bubble, and they can be very good at figuring out everything in that one bubble, but if a puzzle in that bubble needs a part from a different bubble, that puzzle is never gonna be solved for them without outside help to find the bubble that has the needed part.
I never got the point of watching a movie with someone if you’re both just totally silent and not interacting the whole time. Then at the end it’s like “what did you think of the movie” “it was ok” “yeah”
2 hours wasted
More like be relatively silent and the occasional comment during and most conversation afterwards. Easily an hour’s worth if it was a good movie.
I guess that makes sense if you’re watching movies with people who have a lot of thoughts about movies, I’ve never watched a movie with someone who had more than ten second’s worth of things to say about it afterwards though.
Why do people enjoy shared experiences? Such mystery.
Same. I didn’t come over to just watch a movie in silence, I wanted to hangout with you lol
I’ve never seen anyone doing that, who the hell are you people friends with?
Devils advocate here, because this sounds like my wife and I. She gets really annoyed at me, but she doesn’t understand that I don’t expect her to answer my questions. I just need to let them out of my head so I can concentrate on the rest of the movie. What she could do is either just ignore me, or agree that it’s a valid question and let it go. On some occasions, I may ask a question because I feel I may have missed something that she might have caught, but usually the questions are more rhetorical in nature…
I don’t think the reasons are really important, there’s no “devil’s advocate” to play here. If it’s annoying then it’s annoying, it takes someone out of the experience, even if you didn’t intend it that way. That doesn’t really get changed by understanding the mechanics behind it.
I’m just offering another perspective, that’s all… Feel free to ignore me like my wife learned to do.
The additional perspective was interesting, I was just talking about the “devil’s advocate” part. One uses that expression if you want to actually argue for something. But there’s no arguing to be done, you can’t argue someone out of being annoyed. If you had just shared the explanation I wouldn’t have said anything, just appreciated it :)
It sounds like you should explain that to your wife.
I have… we’re good. 33 years good.
Gratz!
