Are you the type of person to sit through a whole movie without getting really bored? I don't mean one at the theatre. I mean ones that you see on TV.

I have a very short attention span so usually when the movie seems really good do I actually sit down and watch it all the way through.

If it's a good movie I can sit around forever and watch it. But if the movie has a tendency to drag on and on, it wont keep my attention for very long.

I usually research to find out if a movie on TV is worth watching or not and because of that, majority of the time I will sit through the whole thing.

My attention span has gotten so much worse in the last few years. 8/ I used to be able to sit through whole movies, but now I start getting bored halfway through--even at theatres. Usually if I don't have someone there to discuss or make fun of it with me, I won't watch it all in one sitting. That or, if I'm watching at home, I'll drag my laptop in so during lulls in the plot and whatnot, I don't get bored.

Then again, movies are so much longer now. :| I miss when 90 minutes was a long movie.

I love movies and completely apprecite everything that goes into make them. But, if I get bored while watching something at home...chances are its just something that I found on TV. And if I'm bored, then it wasn't a good movie and I'll change the channel. Most of the time, what I watch at home is something I've purposely put on, so I won't get bored.

I do franchise marathons all the time. The only time I was bored was for a Land Before Time one I did when I was little. lol

When I was younger, I used to be able to watch movies without getting bored.
But now, I can't watch a movie without getting bored during the first-half.
Usually when i'm bored, I play with my NDS just to make time fly by quicker.
There have only two this year, that I can think of, that didnt bore. The rest made feel bored after awhile.

It depends. If it's a movie that I wanted to see at the theaters and on DVD, and wasn't able to, yes, I'll sit through it.

But the same channels play the same movies repeatedly it's not even funny. One of the reasons I don't watch TV half as much as I used to.

As long as there are no commercials, I tend to be able to keep my attention held on the movie. There's a certain channel I have that always gives great movies, but the commercials are SO long that I just flip the channel.

Not unless I'm watching it with a friend, no. Hell, I can't even watch a 30 minute TV show without somebody to watch and talk about it with >_< Otherwise I get bored and grab my laptop and just float around on there. In the theater I tend to have a slightly longer attention span, but I still find myself fiddling with my cell or just staring off into space, bored :[

If it's a movie I've seen before and enjoyed, then I have no problem with watching it all the way through on TV without getting bored. However, if I've never seen the movie before, unless it's on HBO (no commercials n_n), then I won't care for it too much. I saw 300 all the way through on HBO and it was pretty good. But commercials make me forget what happened.

Don't you mean intention span? XD

Well, I'll only finish a movie if it has a good storyline, and has no broken parts. There are many movies that make me just want to cry. I don't mean sad, but I just feel depressed because of how horrible the movie is. ;_;

I don't really watch movies much, anyways.

In theaters, I payed for it, so I'll most likely sit through it all and watch it. Usually if I pay for it, it's cause I want to see it and it looks good, so I'm generally entertained.

Although, when I'm at home, and movies are on TV, I don't always sit still. I'll always want to do at least something else while watching the movie. That sometimes causes me to go get food a bit too much. XD;

When I was A YOUNG BOY +MOOSTAJJ TWIGGLE+, it wasn't common for me to head to the cinemas to watch a movie. I depended on my parents to buy the video cassette instead.

I only could sit through movies on TV then if I could get into it, while shunning films that have SeKzUaL scenes or SCARYKILLERBLOODnVIOLENS. That is, after I gradually started to accept live action stuff. Before I only and only watched anything animated HEH HEH.

Nowadays, I can't really sit through watching a movie on TV. I feel like it's a waste of time unless I'm with a friend. I prefer watching it online now.

Depends on what genre the film is I could easily watch a comedy or an animated film because they keep me interested as I am into those genres, although I struggle with most other genres...although not so much now I am older!

Like last weekend my friend showed me "Rambo" and "Casino Royal" and it was an action film overload! I can't stand the violence...unless it's cartoon violence! Haha! :)

I tend to be very picky about what movies I watch. If it doesnt catch my eye or seem to fit my interests I ignore the movies.
I wont actually go out to see a movie in a theatre unless it's REALLY GOOD or I'm insanely interested in the movie for whatever reason. XD
Most of the time I look over what's in theatres and say "Meh, nothing good on" simply because I prefer sitting at home and watching movies. I'll intentionally wait for a movie to come out on DVD before I rent it to find out if it's good or not if I'm not extremely interested in it. Most of the time I dont buy movies on DVD unless I want to see it and think I'll enjoy it.

I can't sit through a movie if I don't like it. I'm kinda restless, so if I see a movie on TV and I don't like it, I'll either flip the channel or do something else. Commercials during TV movies annoy me though - that's usually the reason I don't watch TV movies in the first place. XD;

Alternatively, if I'm with friends and we're watching a bad movie, it's fun to make fun of it. 8D;
