Meaning if I start a movie do I have to finish it? Nope, life's too short.
It's pretty rare that I'll dislike a film to the degree that i won't want to finish watching it. It has to be REALLY bad and I don't often come across films that bad. I used to when i was watching more super low budget amateur stuff but I generally avoid that stuff now because it usually sucks.

yeah, I find myself doing that depending on the subject matter. If it's a boring supernatural I won't bother finish, but if it's a boring monster movie then I'll let it play out just to see how the damn thing is killed. I just did that with Red Billabong last night, almost two hours long and only 10 minutes of monster time.

I always finish a movie, no matter how painful it might be. Still, I usually don't watch anything that I'm not pretty sure I'll enjoy to some degree.
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life! -

I am a completist but I'm afraid if I gave you an example I'd offend you

I almost always finish a movie. But I always make extra extra sure that i even want to see it. I have to see the trailer first. If I'm still not sure, then I'll maybe read a few reviews. But it's usually based on how the trailer looks. I don't blind buy or blind rent anymore. If I still manage to stumble into a dud, I'll turn it off.

if i fall asleep on my couch watching a movie i will generally not make any effort to rewatch it. after all, if it was boring enough to put me to sleep in the first place, i probably didn't miss much.
leave me to die, you won't remember my voice. i walked away and grew old -

If I can't bear it anymore, I will skip a scene or two and see if something changes in pace. Usually by that point I am only staying in the race to see if there is anything worth talking about.

Almost always, but if a movie loses me (and assuming I'm watching at home) I will walk away for a minure, look at my phone, play a game, read an article, make some coffee or whatever and only pay partial attention.

Generally no but occasionally i'll go through a completest phase. I'm in one right now where I'm watching all the Wrong Turns and all the Indiana Jones. Next i'm thinking of doing the Final Destinations or Hellraisers.
