> you can stop and resume on smaller units of time

You can pause a movie? I don’t always watch a movie in one go.




I've been starting and early stopping many 10-episodes series because of how much they drag (looking at you, Servant, and Disney series). Maybe I became more impatient lately, idk.

My new hobby is watching movies as they were 4-episodes series. It's great, much more to the point.


I sometimes do. But outside of the cultural hurdle, movies aren’t planned that way so depending on what service/app you watch you‘ll need to remember where you stopped.

Rewinding until a point where you can get back the context can also be a PITA, and for many movies stopping somewhere in the middle lands you in the flat part which makes it extra dull to resume watching.

All in all, I’ll often end up dropping a movie if it was 3h30 and there was 40min left to watch, it’s just not worth it in general.
