Then you add it to the pile of movies you don’t have time to watch together
Found the married person with kids
I’m lucky if I get an hour a day to myself outside of work.
I find i can get alone time if I just skip sleep!
Good Lord - even couples are no longer able to talk to each other. They need an app?
Oh to be young, back when the world was simple.
When you’ve got 2 kids that go to bed between half an hour and an hour before you and every other night you can use it for watching a movie or a tv show, how much of that time do you want to spend cruising 5 streaming platforms to pick a movie? That’s easily a half hour wasted.
Instead, as we alternate putting kids to bed, the awake parent could be screening movies and match from the previous day review. Meaning we could spend our time actually WATCHING said movie.
We can talk when the kids are awake, but we cannot flip through the Netflix catalog at the same time. Either kids are watching the TV or we don’t want them watching the TV, in either case you can’t use the TV.
Edit:
Go one step further and allow a spouse to preselect from movies and TV currently being watched they would watch for tonight and I will pay for a subscription!
What if you just let the AI you’ve been training for free all this time match you automatically? It knows what you watch, what you like on your Facebook and Instagram, it reads your DMs and text messages, it even knows what ads you’re likely to pause the longest on before you scroll past. It knows you better than you know yourself.
hehe think Ill pass
You’ll pass on using it, but it won’t pass on using you.
You are sooo high.
Yes and a genre filter, please.
I just have a massive list of movies and shows I want to watch, and I run it by my wife. She usually just tells me to pick one. Then the burden is mine again.
Let me introduce you to
shuf | head 1. This is literally what picks the next movie for us. If either of us are unhappy, we just remove the movie from the list and try again.
I’ve actually thought of this as a new dating service. Too bad I’m lazy.
Get after it someone who needs an SO.
This would never work. We enjoy a lot of the same stuff, but sometimes we have to justify certain movies to each other. Like “The Cabin in the Woods”. She thought it was classic horror and would never swipe right of her own volition. Likewise, you think I woulda swept right on “Twilight”? OF CORSE I WOULD! Swipe right on every movie I see cuz I love her and we watch whatever she wants.
But this way we never watch my movies
Needs a third option then. Swipe right for “would watch”, left for “wouldn’t watch”, but also swipe up for “I strongly endorse and believe you’d enjoy it if you give it a chance”.
Maybe also a fourth. Swipe down for “absolutely not, I know you really love this movie but I just can’t watch more Jason Statham.”
Double tap for “I see everything with Jason Statham just on principle”
on letterboxd you can filter a user’s watchlist for matches in your own or filter out stuff you’ve already seen. handy.
Given the age of thirst post, I’m pretty sure the app already exists.
I think it’s more complicated than this but that this is an interesting idea
Somebody somewhere is about to make so much money. Shoulda learned how to program.
Gotta put this into something like Letterboxd.
Or hell, just tell your spouse to create a watchlist on Letterboxd.
The app “Queue” does this, as well as the other 50 mentioned in this thread
There’s two kinds of guy who swipe right on The Notebook and you’re not going to be thrilled with either of them.
