I use a 43" 4K TV as a monitor (essentially 4 1080 monitors) and I often watch stuff on this screen. I end up watching stuff in 3 or 4 sessions because of these rabbit hole quests.
- Still not sure what I know them from
Our go to line is “it’s that actor from that other show we watched”.
I do that too, but I just pause the movie.
Once I showed the movie Gattaca to some friends who had never seen it. All of us had comments to make about it and every time anyone talked I paused the movie so people could make their observations, ask their questions, etc.
A bit later after several pauses my wife said “we’ve been watching this movie for 45 minutes and we’re only 10 minutes into it.”
to some friends
See, there’s Your problem. I don’t have any friends.
Wikipedia? Nah. IMDB. Incredibly useful for specific episodes of a series as I can isolate that episode of needed. And the answer is always Law and Order.
I’m here to plug TMDB. It does everything I want from IMDB without being owned by Amazon
Does it have an app?
IMDb used to be way better. I just honestly cannot stand the interface anymore, so I usually just go to wiki instead.
yeah I can’t remember the last time I actually read something on IMDB
I end up there sometimes, realize that I have basically no clue what the web page is trying to show me because it’s covered in a bunch of other crap, and then just back out and leave and go somewhere that actually shows me the information.
I’ve used the web page maybe twice. I just use the app.
“Honey, that guy over there, where do we know him from? Come on he looks so familiar!”
5 minutes of back n forth, to eventually looking it up
It’s, again, Star Trek.
Holy shit, I do this all of the time! Most movie plots follow the same patterns anyway, so a lot of the time, the production process is more interesting to me anyway!
You need to find some better more interesting movies to watch! If your board of the 3 act structure (which 99.99% of western movies follow) other cultures make other kinds of movies.
