How long should it take?

To pick a movie to watch?

Why do some people take as long as the movie would actually be to decide?

Oh, this is too real. Crying or Very sad

Should be five minutes absolute max. Set the microwave timer if need be. (I presume you're talking about watching something at home, right?)

P35, did someone take three hours to decide to watch Titanic for the 12th time?

That reminds me K, will you draw me like one of your french girls?

I will be wearing the heart of the ocean, but not around my neck.

A good method for this is to make it a multi person choice. Get the person who can't choose to short list say 3-5 movies, any of which they'd be happy to watch. You then pick one.

Works for me.

^ That's exactly what my partner and I do! Well, I tend to do the shortlisting because she's too indecisive. Laughing

One reason why I'm happily single.

Do these indecisive partners also freeze up when faced with a menu and asked to decide what to eat?

Hubby is a flicker. Flick flick flick flick. Seperate tv’s is the answer! The movies is harder, we occasionally agree, such as the Elton John movie and bohemian rhapsody, but he made me sit through the new a Star is boringly born, when I’d rather be watching die hard 69!

When it comes to menus he always says o don’t have my glasses, so I just say yes the have Parma! I hate Parma, yuk!

He forgot his glasses on the plane, so I picked a few of his movies, I watched him laugh til he cried at The Green Book, which is a must see, so good, and he cried again at Wonder with Julia Roberts (tissue warning, not really story related but the dog dies, that always does me in!)

We recently watched Chernobyl together, it’s not bad, if somewhat depressing, but he watched the whole thing again on the plane! Once was enough.

Seperate TVs!

Separate TV's works.

The old girl has a 50 inch in the back room, with Foxtel, with all her lounge room furniture from her house up bush before she moved down here. So after dinner, she goes out there and I watch what I want.
