It's usually a recorded movie, not a broadcast one, and all movie/video players have a Pause button.....but they won't use it. A ten-minute phone call ruins their "in-home theater experience".

When calls like this are quite infrequent, I think people could use the pause button.
You might want to send a text before you call to see if they are busy or free to talk - do that with some friends and it works quite nicely.
