Saw an amusing video about this, which went off into a strange direction about work management and discipline. Coming back to the original topic at hand though. When you watch a movie or TV series, are you an active or passive viewer. The way it's defined is basically do you give the media you're watching your full attention, or do you multitask and spend most of your time on your phone and simply have the thing on as background noise?

I tend to be an active movie watcher, but I've very passive with TV shows. I think it's because films have less of a luxury for filler whereas TV shows sometimes feel like they are designed for more passive viewing so it's easy to maintain the idea of the plot and character arcs without needing to pay attention to details. Granted this largely depends on the films and TV shows you watch since the opposites can be true as well.
