My goto response is always "who knows?" Like it's a mystery for the ages, and I'm just as puzzled. That implies I'm just as confused as her and then we can both just keep watching.

she wants to engage with you. you should state your speculations. if you've seen the movie already, just say something utterly outlandish to check if she actually wants to talks to you and not herself

My wife does the same thing, but she'll also say an hour in "Brad Pitt is in this movie?" "Yes, dear, he's the main character."

You forgot to mention that the movie you're watching is "The Land Before Time"

Brad Pitt is Little Foot?

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No he's Spike.

You can easily recognize his voice.

I've got some mild form of prosopagnosia (face blindness) and this happens to me all the time.

An actor without a very recognizeable face sporting an unfamiliar haircut? I might recognize them 1h in or never at all.

I really like the movie/serie convention of keeping the same clothes for a character. It helps me a whole lot.

In this case she's just on her phone.
