Millie Bobby Brown says she doesn't watch many movies, eliciting a range of reactions

[gumby]

The star of "Stranger Things" said: “I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change your life,’ and I’m like, ‘How long do I have to sit there for?’ Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my own movies.”

If you aren't going to sit and watch your movies, why should I?

Maybe she has a short attention span? I know I do. It doesn’t mean her movies aren’t good.

Saying that, I have walked out of one of her movies. I’m side that was unrelated to her attention span though.

I'm on the side that it has nothing to do with her attention span. I think it's a bit silly to not engage with the work of your industry. I remember Candice Patton saying before Kevin Smith directed an episode of The Flash that she never used to watch herself, and he asked her how she ever expected to improve if she didn't see what she was doing. If you don't want to watch your stuff, sure-but at least watch what your peers are putting out there. I'm sure there's something to learn from studying what's out there in your field.

Also I wanted to be snarky lol. Idc if she doesn't watch her movies because I'm not watching them!

Maybe she just likes what she’s doing and doesn’t care? Idk, maybe it’s just an easy job to her?

Ok but I can't help but laugh at the idea of Kevin Smith the great acting expert lol

[insomniachobs]

Hmm... I think that's much easier to say as a director than as an actor. Most of us look and sound weird to ourselves on camera and it's hard to get away from that to critique a performance objectively

It doesn’t mean her movies aren’t good.

but theyre not lol

It’s not a testament to the actual work tho, most actors I personally know are very weird about watching their own films.

I'd be one of those actors. And when they showed clips during promo I'd absolutely turn bright red. My brain doesn't like seeing me from a different angle.
