Hard to explain, so I'll turn it into a scenario: (this applies to movies you watch at home)
Friend 1 asks you and Friend 2 if they want to watch a movie. You say yes, but Friend 2 says no. You and Friend 1 watch the movie, but in the middle of it Friend 2 jumps in and starts asking questions like "What's going on?" "Who's that?" "Why was that line funny? I don't get it." "What is he talking about?" etc, etc. You and Friend 1 then have to pause the movie and explain everything so that Friend 2 is caught up and you can continue watching the movie.
A different scenario that sort of applies to this as well:
You and Friend 1 are watching a movie with Friend 2 sitting nearby, not watching it whatsoever. Friend 2 is doing random crap on their phone or iPad or whatever, making loud enough noises to distract you from the movie.
Scenario 1: Okay, like, why didn't you want to watch it an hour ago but now you do? Why did you wait until the middle of the movie to join in? It's absolutely irritating and it breaks the flow of the movie when you're forced to pause and explain.
Scenario 2: Not going to watch the movie? Stay the hell out of the room and let the people who want to watch the movie watch the movie. Don't be annoying.
Both those scenarios happen commonly between me, my parents, and my brother. Whenever myself and one of my parents are watching a movie together at home, my brother is always there to be irritating and disrespectful. If I'm watching a movie with my dad, he sits nearby and makes noise, causing both me and my dad to hardly pay attention to the actual movie. If I'm watching with my mom, he comes in the middle of it and starts asking questions that would be answered if he watched the whole thing.
I can hardly watch a movie on my TV because of this. I can only ever watch movies on my computer at night, as that's the only way I can watch a movie without being interrupted.
