Brehs....are smart phones ruining the TV watching experience ?

[Sad Bunny]

I watch TV yet I'm always multitasking and on my cell phone in the Coli....

Wait...is The Coli the culprit here

 

[Canada Goose]

On the imdb forum of this show I watch someone said they retorted to playing with there phones on an episode they basically thought was wack


If character's you don't care about have a scene then your mind can drift That white politician in season 3 of The Wire comes to mind


But classic episodes like "Face Off" from Breaking Bad I doubt many people was playing with there phones during that episode

My wife does this even during shows she claims to love and it makes my blood boil



Game of thrones is on one hour a week, ten times a year. You cant get off facebook and instagram for that?



I wanna explode just thinkin about it

I'm a movie lover. Nothing more infuriating than watching a movie with someone and they're on their phone.

....then they have the nerve to ask: "Wait, what, just happened? "

fukk yes

I'm mad just thinking about it

Nah, I'm not on my phone at all if I'm watching something. Then again I tend not to watch random shyt I wouldn't be interested in, so it's a moot point.

I do watch a lot of random indie/foreign movies so occasionally I'll take an L if the movie is bad but I'm about to see if the movie is bad, I ain't gonna fukk with my phone all during it.

You especially can't do it during TV nowadays because they're written a lot more densely than movies.

I typically put the phone away 98% of the time

The 2% being something like bates motel when a meh storyline comes on or anything else im semi meh on

I did pull it out in an empty theater during age of ultron though

 

[mannyrs13]

I usually pay more attention to the tv than the phone or am always listening to the tv while reading posts. If I gotta watch a video, I'll pause the tv.

Nah, Netflix is probably the most detrimental element to the TV experience, but not in the way this thread means.

 

[Nymbus]

Idk breh, only ever do that for new flash/arrow episodes,
If it can't hold my undivided attention

Elaborate.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I end up having to watch shyt 2 or 3 times sometimes because of that shyt...I simply cannot resist grabbing my phone during pretty much any lull of attention required in any thing
