Movies and Distractions

Yes of course i am able to do that.

No i don`t find it difficult at all.

Depends on the movie, if its not inresting enough i will probably be checking ny phone.

If its a rewatch or Im just watching it to put something on...Ill check my phone or even pull out a laptop and look things up while im watching, if its historical or anything like that....but if its a new viewing, especially one ive looked forward to, I'm all in. 

Yes

I can usually watch the whole thing, but sometimes it takes me a couple of sittings. Only times I have to watch the movies I like are late at night. My wife and kids don't really get into movies made in the "olden" days.

Usually I can.

But I’ll admit it’s been more of a challenge while quarantining. Maybe because I basically always am watching something.

Often I'll treat re-watches like a book.  Put it down after an hour, finish the rest the next day.  There's nothing in my collection I've not already watched at least 3 times.

Yes, pretty much. I would say I am more Yes than No especially if the movie itself is solid it's much easier to keep focused on it vs when a movie is around average you might tend to lose a bit of focus etc. but, as usual, if a my interest in a movie falls below a certain point ill simply turn it off and give it my usual 2/10 (boring) which is truly boring status and that's pretty much my bottom of the barrel score. technically 1/10's are worse for me but this is a score I reverse for movies I more greatly dislike.



Yes, I would imagine it goes without saying if one has to pause to go to the bathroom or maybe get a snack/food etc that's okay and to be expected.



Yeah, I am sure I drift off a little here and there on movies that are around average for me. especially movies that are starting to push closer to below average than slightly above average at which point they start to at least slightly waste my time.



That's a total non-issue for me. because while I might drift off a little once in a while it's not going to effect my overall enjoyment of a movie for sure.

because if your only missing a tiny bit here and there from your mind randomly thinking about something else it's likely no where near the point it's going to effect your overall judgement of the movie as after a person has seen plenty of movies, which I would assume most people around here have, then you can usually roughly gauge a movie within the first 20-30 minutes or so on how it will turn out given your overall interest in it by around that point. because some movies you can see they will probably end up getting turned off earlier in the movie because I am bored (only about 1 out of every 14-15 movies or so I turn off due to boredom). but many, if not most, movies I see tend to be more of that watchable but forgettable range. like they keep you interested enough to watch and finish but you have no desire to re-watch them (like I have said before movies are ultimately made or broke based on whether I want to re-watch them from time-to-time as the years pass or not) and some movies you can tell earlier on that they got a good chance for a Thumbs Up (i.e. a 6/10 (a mild Thumbs Up) at the minimum) and some can go beyond that to as usually the better movies tend to be better at holding ones interest to a higher level more steadily than movies that do not.

The vast majority of the time I can.
