  I pause the movie before I blink. Every single frame matters. /s >
  
  Super efficient! Bravo 👏 >
  
  This helps me enjoy the movie longer. lol >
  
  Interesting. I wonder though, a movie like the Matrix I have watched so many times even with blinking I’ve probably seen it all. >
  
  Second this. I Think I’ve watched The Matrix enough times that I caught every frame. >
  
  Not if you've watched it twice, it's nearly impossible you blinked at the same time the second time around. >
  
  Its also nearly impossible that you never blinked at the same given moment in the movie during both viewings >
  
  That seems unrelated, if you miss a total of a couple seconds from blinking in one viewing, you would see those missed seconds in the second movie, thereby having watched the entire movie. It just took two times. >
  
  How? Its nearly impossible that you blinked at the same time for every blink between two movies, but it is also nearly impossible that you never blinked during the same moment in a movie between two movies. Therefore, after two movies, there are still specific moments that you blinked during and missed, hence not having fully watched every moment in the movie. >
  
  You're once again completely missing the point.
  If you watch a movie, you blink.
  Your total blink time throughout that movie would only be a few seconds.
  If you rewatch the movie, it is nearly impossible you would blink at the exact same times you blinked the last time you watched the movie.
  You will have seen the few parts you missed last time, and therefore will have seen the full movie. >
  
  It is nearly impossible for every blink to happen at the same time across two viewings, it is also nearly impossible that none of the blinks occured at the same moment from the first viewing. You will have viewed more of the movie the second time, but will still almost certainly have missed something that you also missed the first time. >
  
  You're completely missing the point >
  
  No, it seems you are >
  
  I have seen this once, so I proceeded to watch The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water entirely without blinking just because I knew I could >
  
  Yeah, 5th Element and Shawshank Redemption. No chance I've blinked the same time in the 47 times I've watched those movies. >
  
  I blink one eye at a time.  I alternate so I don't miss anything. >
  
  I’ve seen Jurassic Park enough times that there is no way I’ve missed even a nanosecond >
  
  Incorrect, I watched the bee movie on YouTube in 2 seconds because it was sped up and made sure to not blink. >
  
  Idk, I've watched some movies upwards of 50 times. The likelihood that I've blinked in the same places during all viewings is astronomically low. >
  
  A blink takes .1 to .4 seconds. There are 24 frames per second in most movies. That means a frame takes 0.0417 seconds about.  So you miss about 2 to 10 frames per blink depending on length.
  I don't know why I did the math. >
  
  0.4 seconds? That's an absurdly slow blink.
  Are you sure it's not 0.01 to 0.04 seconds because that sounds way more realistic. >
  
  Not counting the folks who watched it once or twice after being coerced by someone, anyone who has seen the LOTR trilogy has seen every frame of those movies. >
  
  The chances of your blinks lining up is near zero, so you can if you just watch a movie twice >
  
  I've seen Shawshank redemption about 20 times I guarantee I've seen every second of it >
  
  I’ve seen the simpsons movie over 387 times at LEAST, I bet I’ve seen every frame in that film >
  
  Movies run at about 30fps, blinking takes less than a 1/60th a second. Didn't miss a frame >
  
  There are movies I’m sure I’ve seen every second of. There’s no way you blink at the same spots hundreds of times >
  
  You actually only ever see what your brain anticipates is going to happen next. You never actually see what’s right before your eyes, happening in real time, unless your environment does not change. You’re on a few second delay.
  Edited: spelling >
  
  Pretty sure its only like 0.1 second delay
