re: How long do you give a movie to capture your interest before you give up and turn it off?

Ive dipped on the opening scene for sure. It isnt always the movies fault either. Ive had movies i didnt make it 15 minutes in and then went back and enjoyed. You have to be in the right frame of mind. Sometimes u just wanna have a game on or watch the office in the background.

When the end credits role, I don’t watch shite movies
This is me for the most part...I think I'm pretty good at knowing if I will at least like something a little. So if I don't think I will, I generally won't give it a shot (unless I just hear so much good shite about it that I feel like I need to).
But I find if I am disengaged from a movie and notice myself picking up my phone and dicking around a lot, I may give up on it. With so much shite out there to watch, and it being so easy to switch between things, if I am just THAT disinterested in something, I'll cut bait and move onto something else.
But for the most part, I finish what I start when it comes to movies. If it's a show, depending on how many episodes it is, I'll give it half a season or a full season to grab my attention before bailing on it.

This is my answer, and it can range on how long this takes, or at least how long until I've noticed that I'm not really paying attention. If I am deep into the movie, I'll keep it on in the background and get shite done around the area. If it's early, I'll switch to something I know I will like.
