Nah not really a movie person in general, but when i do watch them i either lay in bed or am walking around, and watch on a tablet, or laptop. I really dislike the way TVs look in a sitting room too. My living room just has seating, and some decorations i think its nice to just sit in there, and disconnect. The only stationary screen i have is a computer monitor at my desk and i never watch media on that just use it when playing games or using the computer.
Sitting in a single place for long enough to watch a movie i get pretty bored too. So typically ill like start out in bed, carry it down to the kitchen and keep watching while i make food, get some chores done, etc.
I think the size of the screen doesnt really matter too because as the tablet or laptop is typically closer to you it appears a similar size in your view to like a larger screen thats far away you know?
That makes sense and sounds like how I used to be too, no real TV, just a computer or laptop and I also don't like how they are made the center of living spaces.
I think it became a social thing for me, watching movies or listening to music with others while we sit around. I also exercise on a bike or something while watching a show if it's too cold to actually enjoy going on a ride just for leisure. If I'm alone, I don't end up watching it much, I'd rather read or listen to something while on my computer.
