Watching Movies

MOM MOVIE PET PEEVE

typically, movies that I watch with my mom are movies that I've already seen which I want my parents or family to view because I think they'll like it. Sometimes it is a movie I want to watch and a good way to include the family. However, one of the following scenarios eventually transpires:

1. My mom falls asleep, and starts snoring loudly, as in much louder than the movie we are trying to watch.

2. My mom leaves the room for one reason or another.

both of these scenarios result in my Mom coming back to senses and asking what she missed, to which my brother and I protest vehemently but our father forces us to pause the movie and explain what has happened, even having to explain up to a duration of 45 minutes of the movie. After that, she wonders why she doesn't understanding or didn't like the movie (not understanding that it is near impossible to explain the subtleties of 45 minutes of a well-crafted film). This ruins her perception of the movie, and can sometimes ruin my viewing of the film too.

GENERAL MOVIE-WATCHING INEPTITUDE PEEVE
When people ask questions about a movie that clearly have not been answered, instead of just waiting to see if the movie resolves their question. My response is inevitably "just wait and see what happens", or "the audience doesn't know yet". If you have questions about the movie, ASK AFTERWARDS.
