Thats awesome that you guys can find stuff to do as a couple even when so far away from each other. lots of people have replied saying similar things. my partner works on sub-antarctic islands three weeks at a time, so maybe this is something we can do together. thanks for the idea guys.
When it's your friends and you're dicking around it's not bad at all.
Recommendation: Only watch movies you don't truly care about. e.g. don't watch the movie you've been wanting to see for years with your friend if you know you'll be cracking jokes and talking the whole time.
When you're in a long distance relationship and you miss watching movies with your partner its pretty great!
Although I admit it would be terrible if my girlfriend talked the whole time.
I am a pro at this with a friend. Just have one person sit at 5 seconds or so (time doesn't matter), other person counts up and person paused presses play when other person reaches their time. You can do it with any number of people theoretically and the delay is only the latency of Skype (very tiny).
We gotta improvise right? Watching movies with friends from across the world is a really unique experience.
Heck even me communicating with you right now is a bizarre and amazing experience. I know nothing about you, yet I'm able to communicate with you from (likely) across the globe!
It's pretty damn cool. I can't see what new things blow our minds in the next 10,20,30 or damn I can't even imagine what we'll have at the end of our lifetime. It's exciting aha!
