    Depends on the scene. In the one aliens movie (resurrection?) where they had to swim underwater to the next hatch, yes

      If so, does that ever ruin a scene for you?

      Yes, but just until I realize I'm doing it then I breathe.

            I don't think I've ever done that but I do hate seeing deep cuts and bleeding in movies (and IRL as well) and the longer it goes the woozier I feel. I start getting pale and uncomfortable, lol.

              No. Do you have sex during sex scenes?

                      I already get uncomfortable reading your description of it. But it wasn't always like that for me (it got worse with HRT somehow)

                        It ruined Finding Nemo for me.

                        I actually passed out during the little mermaid opening scene

                          I too sometimes check the time to see if it is realistic, since the only character with a real chance of surviving underwater is Guybrush Threepwood. It kind of looks implausible in every action movie, though

                          FYI: new World Record for holding breath under water is 29+ minutes.

                          I'm sure he had zero activity during that effort.
