Truth be known Bare, Ill bet this is a very common problem. I think going for coffee after and discussing your movies was a fantastic idea. Chicks and guys do not think the same, we all know that, so naturally the same type of movies will not appeal to both. You seemed to resolve the problem very well by getting together after for together time.
In our case we usually go together and one of us just suffers thru it, consequently making one of us pretty miserable for a couple of hours. Lately, I just fall asleep if Im bored with the movie, yikes !!! another sign of old age me thinks. :
