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.”

Needs to have minecraft gameplay on top of the movie to actually pay attention lol

[belle_chouette]

lol literally my husband, he plays video games on one monitor and watches tv shows on the other

[anagramofbrat]

this is me as well. What else are multiple monitors for?

[genbu_no_miko24]

This is really nothing lol.

that she comes off as out of touch and questioning why she even wants to be an actress in the first place.

Do they know people who want to act are....acting? they didn't enter hollywood to watch the movies? but to make them?

it's fine to not want to watch part of your industry on your days off

[squirrels_oh_no]

As someone who is a writer and has had it nailed into my head that one of the best ways to improve your craft as a writer is to be a reader, that part is like O.O to me, but I get it - I know a fair number of actors who aren't into TV/movies (well, many of them are theater nerds, but that's another story).

Yeah, my sister's neighbors are actors and they don't own a tv. They just don't watch tv/movies. My sister and BIL are in animation and don't watch a lot of animation, though, either. But they are always watching some other film.

Apparently one of the guys gets angry if they mention Ryan Gosling because that's the career he thinks he should have.

Lmao! See, I'm petty, and something like that is so obnoxious, I wouldn't be able to stop gassing up Ryan in front of that manchild.

I usually pause the movie every half hour to do something else for a few minutes and then come back to it idk why but my brain just needs a break and realignment sometimes

[hiimtish]

Yeah idk man, this is tricky. I’m someone who at one time was a cinephile but now also has a brain that won’t let me watch movies. I watched a total of 5 in 2023 so ya know, can’t feel any outrage about this lol

Kinda whiplash though because I just read an article about Martin Scorsese donating his VHS collection of movies he obsessively taped for decades lol
