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.”

Eh, I don’t see the big deal in her saying that.

[ty]

No big deal.

MBB is also a producer on some of her work so I get she’s learning on her own projects but she’d benefit from watching other people’s work as well

Also

MBB is only 20 years old so she hasn’t really had a lot of time to become a cinephile even if she wanted to, between work and supporting her entire family since age 12 and free time

Also

MBB is only 20 years old and alas she has not yet learned to only think things in her head but not say them out loud lol, and lbr a lot of adults older than her haven’t learned that either, so this is kinda tame tbh

Seems weird to me, but it's not a crime. I feel like it would be beneficial for actors to watch other actors, just like writers generally are recommended to read a lot. You improve by watching what others do. But I guess if it works for her, then she's gonna be fine.

That makes sense. But for the life of me I hate seeing myself on camera the few times I’ve done things, and 401 episodes later I’ve never listened to an episode of my own podcast. My partner just edits it and takes it from there. lol.

[willardwright]

oh wow, that's a lot of podcast episodes!

We didn’t even realize until Apple and Spotify congratulated us a week and a half ago 😂

I mean given the quality of stuff she puts out there... I am not surprised.

I just think it's kind of sad she's not even interested in her own field.
