“Must be nice being able to watch a movie without the overwhelming urge to Google…”

Many people cannot watch a movie without researching the actors (and sometimes the writer and director). “must be nice being able to watch a movie without the overwhelming urge to google every single cast members acting repertoire and marital status” is a saying that has been printed on several images.

Must be nice being able to watch a movie from the 1960’s or earlier, without the overwhelming urge to Google every single cast member to see if they’re still alive.
