They miss entire parts of the movie asking about what happened. Its an endless cycle.

But seriously, my mom is 80+ we just saw The Darkest Hour, last night. The endless "what did he say? I can't understand the British " when I know that she won't admit she can't hear, isn't frustrating anymore. I'm happy with the time I left with her❤— (((Louise Cherico))) (@thereallcherico) December 27, 2017

“Is that the girl from that thing? You know, she was in the movie about that guy… not the one where she dies, but the other one…you know…with the other girl.”

“That’s the guy from Green Mile”
Me: “Michael Clarke Duncan? No he’s been dead for years.”
“Oh. What do I know him from?”
“Who’s the blue guy?”
Me: “Hey, how about we worry about that after the movie is over”
“Tell me how to Google him”
“Oh, he plays bad guys!” https://t.co/8775tt1Lbp— ? Mickey Gordon ? (@suburbanmuse) December 26, 2017
I was just doing this, and finally I answered them with an exasperated “I’ve never seen it before, I don’t know why this scene is in it.”

"Mom, it's White Christmas. You've seen this movie dozens of times. Yes, they end up together at the end of the movie. Look, Bing and Danny are singing and dancing again. Can we listen?"

YES! “Oh that’s (insert actress who has been dead for decades/is 90 years old).” “Yeah mom…”

Dad questions,
“how long does this show go? “
“What time is it now?”
“When will this show end?”
“So this show is a movie?”
“Who is the main character?”
“Is this guy/girl is the main character?”
“
………
……. and repeat….
“how long does this show go? “

Of course, this says nothing about the absolute worst part about watching something with one’s parents.
The funny thing is you don’t see what the real issue with watching a film with parents: Nude scenes.

But also, some of these inquisitive, chatty, and maligned parents struck back on Twitter. Who knew that they even knew how to use Twitter?!
Patience my dear young man, when you were 3 and mommy was trying to get through a bedtime story you guys interrupted just like we do now! Ha! Haha!
