My ex used to do this. We be watching a film, and then she’d start playing with her phone, then she would look up from her phone after about 10 minutes and say, “what’s happening”. I still maintain that there is no more of an aggravating personality trait.
My dad: Oh look who that is, it’s Fleeg Fleegerson. He was in, ooooooh, that movie with Heeb Leebert and Dick Tickle where the bad guys hold an airliner hostage as a misdirection for robbing it? Sky Hard? Yeah. And he died in the sequel. His dad used to be John Wayne’s shoe shiner’s understudy, married Cla Cla Rodrigruez, Fla Fla’s sister. You ever seen any of Fla Fla Rodriguez’s movies? She made 445 films between the age of 5 and 11 as the singing dancing child thing that didn’t get a real upbringing or childhood and they starved her so she’d stay short and it messed up her bones, and they gave her a gallon of laudanum a day for the pain, and then once she grew up she got typecast as a femme fatale in noir movies. She died in 2009 of huge pox, I hated to hear that.
Yes but sometimes I miss that information or it’s obvious to other people and not me. So sometimes, I ask my partner.
This is why my typical response is “we don’t know yet” or, if I’ve seen it already “they haven’t told/showed us yet”

Nope, I’ve got one worse: My father.
Watching a movie. A character is introduced.

Also my dad: So now where are they going?
My adhd brain when I watch a movie
At least I don’t do it when watching a movie with others
Good to know you’ll have a flashing red light if he ever starts to develop dementia
What, if he ever actually watches a movie?
Haha no. If he can’t recite the most esoteric, inane facts in an unending chain of blather
Well that does sound annoying. I don’t fuck with my phone during a film except to look up actors, so I am more talking about garden variety stupidity.
Sure, but the scene is the first scene of the movie. There is nothing you can miss.
Except of course if you know anything about the movie or what it is about, but then it should be kinda obvious why they are shooting at the dog…
Or if you speak Norwegian. They’re yelling spoilers the Americans can’t understand.
