Had roommates that had never seen Die Hard so I decided to watch it with them. The entire movie they're doing chores and on their phones. At the end of the movie, one of them said "I didn't like it."
I asked him "why did the bad guys hold the building hostage?"...

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on Rogan taking about how Netflix has changed filmmaking.
“you re-iterate the plot 3-4x in the dialogue because people are on their phones.”

A basic premise of the movie that anyone could answer if they paid attention for a minute at any point.
Couldn't answer.
What bothers me is not that they didn't watch or pay attention to Die Hard... it's that one of them said Die Hard was bad when he didn't really watch it.

They wanted to do another movie night. Spotlight has just come out but I'd already seen it, but they wanted to watch that.
I put the movie on, one starts doing dishes, the other is playing a game on his handheld. I turned the movie off after 5 minutes.

Neither of them noticed the movie was off until 20 minutes later when one of them said "hey, what happened to the movie? I was watching that."

I thought it was really really odd behavior. When I watch a movie, I watch the movie with my full attention.
What I didn't realize at the time is this is how the majority of people watch movies at home. It's baffling to me.
