My Closest Companion sometimes has trouble watching movies and TV shows with me.

These days, we’re spending more time together, which is terrific. When I was working for the newspaper, I was going to be at ungodly hours and waking up at ungodlier hours. We hardly saw each other some days.

So now that I am retired from all that, I go to bed a bit later and get up a bit later. Which means we can actually spend some time together after dinner.

But I AM tough to watch TV with, I admit. We both notice lacks of continuity. One shot shows two guys with their hats on, then comes back to them and their hats are off, but in the same scene, comes back a third time and their hats are on again. Or something is in an actor’s left hand, then his right, then his left. Or a newspaper is on the table. Then it’s not. Then it is.
