This is the most ANNOYING thing about my girlfriend

Before Episode VIII next week, he urges his girlfriend, busy with two jobs, to rent Episode VII; she repeatedly forgets. During Return of the Jedi, she missed the opening, used her phone, and laughed at the film’s effects and creatures. He considered seeing Episode VIII alone, feeling insulted; solo viewing avoids worrying whether others enjoy or ridicule films.

Shared-media mismatch persists: he treats beloved films seriously, while close others show indifference or criticism.
