Anyone else irritated by having to read texts in movies and television shows?
ok, I have a little ADHD, so I'm rarely just sitting and watching a movie. I work on crafts, I read, etc while watching TV. I listen , glance up and usually get the story line. but, lately, all of a sudden, I notice no dialog or you hear the phone messaging sound I glance up and the characters are text messaging and we are expected to read them. Since I've already missed the bulk of it, I have to decide if it's worth pausing and rewinding or just skipping it. If I want to read a story line. I read a book. It's getting where every single show or movie has text messaging going on and you are supposed to read it to know what's going on. I do watch foreign films where I do have to pay attention and read the dialog, but I psych myself up for those knowing I can't do anything else. Granted, it's a sign of the times, but do phones have to interrupt everything?
