    I can't watch movies with anyone else because I enjoy my 85-95% accuracy saying what is going to happen next.

    You don't do it at the theater, right?

    My spouse does this too. I’m down to MST3K roast a show or movie if it’s bad or I’ve seen it before, but we have an agreement if I care and want to be immersed I’ll let them know…

    …and then if it turns out the movie’s bad I’m down to roast it.

    Sometimes I’m enjoying a movie and I can tell they want to talk, and it drives them insane, but they respect the agreement.

    Oh I’m positive. The flipside is I watch a lot of reality TV with them as they enjoy our riffing it together; I do not care one iota for most reality TV, including what they make me watch, but I do it for them, and there’s always time later to turn it back to my tastes. It’s a balancing act.

    But also I still keep track of external factors if it’s not enough. I returned two shopping carts to the corral and held the door open at Red Robin for some sort of school visit and by my calculations those were enough points to get me a Heat rewatch with them.
