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

Yes, unless it's really, really awful. I want to ensure I actually experience the entire thing to determine what the issues were, if any

I'm so bad I even try to add the crappy sequels/prequels to my movie collection as well.
Keep the change, ya filthy animal!

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.

is that like a little bit of cow poo?

Yes. A minimal amount of manure - 'min' imal + man 'ure' = minure.
Only if the movie is really bad though, and getting a small piece of beep is preferable to continuing to watch.

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.

I find bad movies relaxing. With some films I wish watching the first 20 minutes 14 times counted as seeing the whole film.

I see every film to the bitter end, no matter how hard the going gets. I like to give them a fair chance to get better and look forward to writing a scathing review if they don't.

I used to be, but it's like a bad habit. I tried getting through the Witchcraft series, but they're just too painfully bad. Same with all these new Amityville movies, although I still want to see The Awakening.
Most recent viewings:
The Long Kiss Goodnight- 9/10
The Rocky Horror Picture Show '16- 7/10

Yes!
If by "completist" you mean I delete the entire video file after a few seconds if I don't like the expression on someone's face in the opening.

If it's bad enough, I'll finish it blindfolded.
That way, I'm not visually bothering myself (finishing the movie), and yet I can say I finished it (from an auditory standpoint).
Your sarcasm has driven me to idiocy.

ya know, you could always turn the brightess level on your tv all the way down, that way you won't pee all over the floor if you're blindfolded
