      They always seem to get distracted when the best part is coming up too. Same when you’re listening to a song you like.

          You can almost never reach this fantasy of someone else getting the same dopamine boost from some piece as you did. It happens spontaneously and each person gets tickled by different things. Best not to stress about it.

          When you get that moment where the other person understands and is on the same wavelength as you is glorious though!

            An often undervalued part of the experience is who you're watching it with.

              My first experience with this was when I was young and watched a Monty Python episode with my father, thinking that since we shared a sense of humor it would hit him the same way it did me. Apparently we shared some types of humor, but the combination of British higher level comedy satire mixed with absurbism didn't hit well, and he found nothing at all funny. Which now I'm fine with including him not pretending to get it, but as a kid it really stung to expect a connection that totally failed.

              From then on when sharing stuff I try to just put it out there and not force anything to happen. The last experience was on vacation at a hotel with my wife. One of the nights I saw The Big Short on the movie selection and suggested we watch it. I just introduced it as a dark comedy documentary about the 2008 crash and it had Steve Farrel, and let her watch without expectation or prompting of moments. I was really pleased when not only did she understand and enjoy it during the watch, but asked questions and we talked about it afterwards. Now, yeah, she's my long time wife, but that doesn't means things often click like that as we are different people with different viewpoints and taste, so it was definitely a wonderful experience to have that kind of feedback.

                      6 of us (siblings) watched The Lord of the Rings together on opening weekend. I'll never forget us all standing outside after the movie staring at each other, stunned like "o m g what did we just see?!" Then we went out to eat and it was 2 hours of "did you see that part?! Did you see this part!?" I'll never forget it.

                          I was the same with "La grande bellezza" (The Great Beauty). An Italian art drama movie about an aging journalist and critic. It has a few nudity/sex scenes.

                          I've never finished the movie, because every time I started watching it with a girl, we just ended up making out. It's a pretentious looking movie at first with lots of beautiful long shots and art, so it's an easy sell for humanities oriented people.

                          I was doing the eye thing during the scenes of course. Maybe we ended up having sex each time because they wanted me to stop staring at them.

                                    I can never enjoy LOTR for some reason. Brain just doesn't like it, oh well. It just like with food, different people like different things.

                                      The well hidden secret for this not never happen is... Don't do it, or just don't have friends or anybody to do that to.

                                      Hope you enjoyed this ted talk.

                                        Totally understandable. We all were infatuated with the books in the 80's and 90's, so to have someone visually put our imaginations on a big screen like that was orgasmic.
