I can kind of understand the people who speed up audiobooks and podcasts. But movies? That's nuts. |
I wonder if OP was alive during the VCR era. I bet they would have loved the FF button. AKA chipmunk mode.

How much crap are you watching if you have to speed it up to get through it all?
The dopamine must flow!
I hate watching anything faster than normal. I want bad things to happen to this person.
do you want bad things to happen to OOP at 1.5x speed?
Nope, 0.5x
No, more like 0.5x speed so we can savour it

For obvious reasons this will never happen. That being said, I do the same with most content. When YouTube I use from 1.25 as an absolute minimum to 2.0 a lot of the time. Average being 1.5. For movies/series I tend to opt for 1.25-1.33.
But this all fails when any music is involved - then I dial it down to 1.0.
Does this person not pay for their ticket? It costs 15$ for a ticket at our theater. Why would I want to waste that money by having it sped up? It's hard enough finding movies that are worth watching in the first place.
The theater here does a half price deal on Tuesdays, two of us can go for like $12.95, it's a great deal.
Might be worth checking in your area, I've seen a lot more mediocre movies after we started going on Tuesday.
Why waste time watching an entire movie when you can just read the spoilers and know what's it about in less than 5 minutes?
Absolutely not me watching cinemasins as a substitute to watching the whole movie.
