I think it's a generational thing.

I'm old enough to remember sitting through movies waiting for that one good scene.

These days, there are people who watch everything at 1.5X speed because everything else is boring.

I watch almost everything at 1.5x speed or greater, but it's because I'm wasting time, and if I'm gonna waste time, I'm gonna do it efficiently.

I appreciate the joke, but seriously, to me it seems like going to a fine restaurant, ordering a full meal, and then throwing it all in a blender.

I once watched 'Gosford Park' and kept speeding it up because it was driving me crazy.

Eventually I decided to let it play out the way it was meant to be seen, and I enjoyed it.

I like movies so much, I watch them at half speed! Twice as much movie!
