I wrote up the post and poll real quick and I have the distinct impression that you guys are placing me incorrectly.

Why on earth would you want to distract someone while they are paying attention to something that requires attention for enjoyment?

I'm not the person who gets up half-way through a one or two minute scene. In both cases the ones who do are my best friend and a member of my family.

Doesn't it kind of seem like you're degrading the quality of that thing?

Yes it does and that is my point with my best friend and member of my family who will remain anonymous. I rarely watch TV or movies (outside of theaters) but when I do it is usually with somebody and it is almost always something on tape or DVD. To me it is common sense and common courtesy to wait until the end of a scene to take a snack break. When we are watching the show/movie together, and getting up in the middle of a scene is an unnatural break.
My response is to rewind to the beginning of the scene. That drives the two of them crazy and prompted my quick post/poll as sort of a joke. The other people in my life take their breaks at the end of a scene. I can pause the tape and take my own break so we are always in sync and the feeling of togetherness is enriched.
That said, I prefer to see movies in theaters just because of the fact there are no interruptions.
Anyway, I admit to being anal retentive but not a nit [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
