    Though there is nothing stopping anyone from pausing a movie partway through and returning to it later.

    Even though I said that, I am more reluctant to start watching a movie because of that time commitment, but I have done that when I did start some movies but wasn’t really feeling like I could stay interested in the moment.

      true, but it sucks.

      a movie is meant to be consumed as a unified whole. so is each tv episode. it’s typically more immersive when you watch it whole.

      I know a lot of people who hate watching just part of a movie. I’m one of those people too, though I also don’t really like tv shows normally. I’d rather a standalone film over one in a series as well. If I’m going to watch something, I want it to start and end in the same sitting, and ideally be 90-120 minutes, though there are exceptions of course.
