So… do you all just sit there and watch movies in complete silence?
Yes? How can you watch a film if everyone is talking?
Because you’re not actually there for the movie but to spend time with the other person. Theaters are different but then again, there’s a reason it’s a shit way to hangout or go on a date
I just wouldn’t put a film on personally if I wanted to socialise with the other person.
It’s more like an “excuse” to hang out and gives something to do together. But each to their own
When in theatre, yes, its considerate. When watching stuff with my gf we usually commentate as it goes on
Yes! If it’s a re-watch then fine, talk all you want. On first watch though, shut. The fuck. Up.
I can imagine the steamy nextflix and chill session already
Ideally, yes. Discussion is for immediately after.
right? why watch a movie together to begin with if you’re gonna be antisocial
So we can share quiet, non-intrustive reactions and absolutely gush about the movie at the end. The hangout doesn’t end just because the movie’s over. Do you try to talk to the person next to you about the rollercoaster you’re having fun on?
You have some long ass rollercoasters, ours usually go on for barely five minutes
You can be social without constantly hearing yourself talk.
In this case, how? It’s not exactly social if both just sit silently looking at a screen
Sure it is, you’re sharing an experience. It’s exactly the same as going to a theater but the screen is smaller and snacks are cheaper.
Great social experience of sitting on a couch watching TV in complete silence lol
Why sit next to someone not watching the movie while they watch the movie and actively interrupt them watching the movie?
why watch a movie together if you’re gonna be antisocial?
To share the emotional experiences, and then talk about the story afterwards.
Or you can talk during the film and have this conversation later:
“What was that dude so angry about?”
“I don’t know. We were talking about the previous scene during that scene.”
“That movie sucked. It was confusing and I just couldn’t get into it.”
Literally yes. Minus stuff like laughter, or mild gasps or other reactionary noises.
I used to but I’ve realized it’s much more fun with occasional comments as long as you can keep it low key.

If you go to the theater
Pic doesn’t specify a theater
If you’re going to a theater, of course! I’m talking about watching movies at home though
Same rules apply, the social contract stands unless specifically talked about beforehand.
Jesus Christ lmao
