      Yes! If it’s a re-watch then fine, talk all you want. On first watch though, shut. The fuck. Up.

        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

            It’s more like an “excuse” to hang out and gives something to do together. But each to their own

      If you go to the theater to watch a movie then you need to sit down, shut up, and just enjoy the movie. Nobody needs to hear your thoughts in that exact moment. That includes yourself.

      Feel free to discuss the movie afterwards though.

      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.

        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?

        Why sit next to someone not watching the movie while they watch the movie and actively interrupt them watching the movie?

            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.”

          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.
