haha yeah I remember all those times I worked up the courage to share somthing I like and also had people to share it with
man those were some wild times
You people are the absolute worst, nothing worse than watching/listening to a media recommended by a "friend" and having them not-so-subtly watch your reactions to it. Completely detracts from the media and removes any enjoyment or appreciation that can be gained from it. Your tastes aren't special, you're a narcissist pining for attention from your friends or relatives through a tenuous link to media and it makes you pathetic.
Now before you project onto me that I'm some phone-addicted zoomer with no attention span, no frick off I'm in my 40s and earlier this year I went almost two months without even owning a mobile phone and in many ways it's been the happiest I've been in the last decade; but it was extremely difficult to function in modern society; not being able to remote access bank accounts or even pay some bills because there was no phone to SMS text verification codes too and other trash like that was extremly tiring to get around without one. But I know how to ignore my electric leash.
The image always used for this subject always implies "don't pay attention or react to any of the important scenes" implies there is universality to importance with people, and that it's you, the previous viewer to the media, that dictates what is important. This is what makes you annoying narcissists. I'm glad your unfounded expectations blow up in your face and cause you discomfort; it's self-induced from your own arrogance.
>not like I’m staring at you the whole movie
But you’re side-eyeing me and that’s just as bad as the fact that we’re watching something mainly for your pleasure and self satisfaction of being “the one with good taste” who showed it to me.
Did you ever stop to consider that this image isn't implying universal importance and is instead talking about the parts that are important to the person specifically and that the whole thing is about someone caring so much about you and how much you mean to them, that they wanted to share something with you that they deeply value?
Maybe it's not a "tenuous link to media" but instead something that got them through a hard time, or influenced them into the person they would become?
Probably not because you're some jaded butthole who would rather try and act as though you're above the people around you instead of taking an opportunity to form a deeper connection with the people that (for some reason) value you.
TL:DR - You're an butthole, just watch the fricking movie and enjoy it.
Oh. That happened to me when I showed my mother Full Metal Jacket.

It's also like my anime games, when I'm playing it myself I don't really think about the half-naked girls. But other people see it and they lose their shit. It's easy to forget that other people's brains work differently from yours, you've got to get out there and interact with people more.

Similar thing happened when I tried watching the first Pokemon movie as a kid with my dad. He kept passing out because he had had too many beers so I tried to wake him up by poking him with a ruler. He wouldn't wake up so I finally slapped his forehead really hard with the ruler but that just made him wake up in a drunken rage so we missed like two thirds of the fricking movie.

I'm not sure how that's similar, but my father also fell asleep while we were watching the first Pokemon movie so apparently that's a common occurrence.

I think parents overall thought that Pokemon was really confusing and boring compared to other children movies like Toy Story or Austin Powers.

It is definitely something that would be complicated for parents, literally hundreds of names to keep up with. And that's before getting into EV training.
Around 9th grade I was hanging out a female friends house and her friends and they all asked me to bring over a horror movie that I would recommend since I was the movie nerd friend to them.I brought over my DVD Carpenter's The Thing and hyped it up as one of the greatest horror films which it fricking is.
The kennel scene they thought was just gross and by the time the autopsy scene came up one girl said this was boring, old and made no sense. I stood up, ejected the disc and said they weren't worthy of seeing the movie and I left. I gave no fricks what they thought of me and last time I talked to all but one of them. Also no they weren't cute and I wasn't there to get any with them. I just wanted to share the kino.
One time I was at a friends house with a few people and they were browsing Netflix and they almost put on The Witch, they ended up not doing it but I was about to speak up and discourage it. I think it's a great movie but I also recognize it would have completely killed the mood, it's not a movie you watch at a party or something.
Right, Looking back now I should have known The Thing wasn't the sort of film they were wanting or even cared to see. Eventually you learn to gauge those type of things.

Girl I watched Manchester by the Sea with was completely unmoved by a pair losing their children and guy trying to kill himself upon realisation he wouldn't be punished.
I stopped liking her at that moment.
Losing his children is horrific punishment, particularly for such an incidental accident, but Lee himself is confused when he's let go and not charged with any crime. He feels he deserves to die for what he did.
The real question is why on fricking earth you would watch No Country for Old Men with a girl who you aren’t in a relationship with or at least have been dating for several months to the point where you know her tastes well enough that you know it’s going to be up her alley. My last gf loved it but you know what? We had been together a year before I even considered the two of us watching it together. Although what am I saying, considering this meme I don’t expect anyone who uses it to be able to read a room because yknow.. autism
what happened was i felt guilty about it. realized it's kind of a "bad gf" thing to do to basically give them a shit test where they need to react to something like i did
I don't watch movies with friends, I relentlessly shill them good shit, give them USB keys with the movies on it, then keep shilling it some more if they don't watch it, maybe guilt trip them a little, and they end up doing it. Then I ask how it was, cut them off almost instantly and launch into autistic tirades about the important scenes I like.
I watched Conan with a buddy of mine and he thought it was decent but schlock, I did everything outlined above, he rewatched it alone, acknowledged that it was in fact, one of the best movies he'd seen, and we discussed the Battle at the mounds for two hours
Watching movies with people is a dogshit idea unless you actually go to the cinema.
Because watching movies with people doesn't allow anyone to focus on it
Especially if you drink, eat, and spend the rest of the evening discussing unrelated shit
Are you moronic or did you never ever watching a movie twice and have a change of heart about shit you didn't pick up or misunderstodd, or lacked context on?
Yeah but those are movies I watched on my own the first time too. The reason I change my mind is because the first time through, you don't know what's going to happen so your focus naturally narrows itself onto the story. When you watch it a second time and already know what's going to happen, you start picking up on subtle details you didn't notice the first time.
Although, your post does remind me, I always heard going to an Alamo Drafthouse was a great way to watch movies, but I've never gone to one because my state doesn't have any. But the other day I saw a post pointing out that even though people don't talk in Alamo Drafthouse, you still have to hear the clinking of plates and see the waiters going in and out of your peripheral vision, so it still ends up being a very distracting way to watch a movie. So I think there's some truth to what you said.
I got glasses so I could read your shitty, blurry thumbnail
it's not that blurry, eyelet
He's probably a chonger lmao
What's wrong Chang Hong? You want it written in your special hieroglyphics?
>eyelet
I hate this place
What would the opposite of an eyelet be?
How do you read a picture?
i don't watch movies with brainlets
I don't have friends to show films to
haha yeah I remember all those times I worked up the courage to share somthing I like and also had people to share it with
man those were some wild times
bump
I have explained my point. I explained my point many times. I explained my point before and I am explaining it now. This is my point.
Smartphones have made showing movies to other people totally impossible.
How? Just hold the smartphone with the movie on it in front of their face.

>something cool happens
>smile and look at my friend
Is this really so annoying to you? It's not like I'm staring at you the whole movie.
>not like I’m staring at you the whole movie

Tldr

That's what I thought from the beginning lol. Zoomerchads don't write this much

I don't get excited trying to show my dad anything anymore, he just falls asleep
I showed people Ginger Snaps and told them it was my favorite movie. HUGE mistake
Why would you ever admit to that?
I didnt realize
?
I didn't realize how crazy ginger snaps was until I was watching it with other people
Oh. That happened to me when I showed my mother Full Metal Jacket.
It's also like my anime games, when I'm playing it myself I don't really think about the half-naked girls. But other people see it and they lose their shit. It's easy to forget that other people's brains work differently from yours, you've got to get out there and interact with people more.

I showed my college class Dead Alive and everyone walked out disgusted.
Yeah not surprised it filtered the whole class.
I know my friends well enough to put on shit I know they'll like.

Is losing his children not a punishment? I don't get how people think.
Losing his children is horrific punishment, particularly for such an incidental accident, but Lee himself is confused when he's let go and not charged with any crime. He feels he deserves to die for what he did.
I’ve given up sharing interests with others; I am alone even in a crowd.
>What happened to you?
Yes this has happened to me.
Wojak image propagators deserve suffering.
The real question is why on fricking earth you would watch No Country for Old Men with a girl who you aren’t in a relationship with or at least have been dating for several months to the point where you know her tastes well enough that you know it’s going to be up her alley.

the people around here seem like oversocialized weirdos and I actively avoid them for safety

Wait, you watched a movie with him, then gave him the same movie and made him watch it on his own? Why would that change his mind?

Why do we always have these shit threads ?
Oh sorry, did you want another thread about /misc/shit? You wanna hear about Star Wars and Marvel for the thousandth time? No? Then shut the frick up.
Seek help loser. I did not mention /misc/ at all. Rent free
Seems like originality is the worst the could happen here, shithead
