Yes I binge on inflight entertainment. Virgin nearly took away the tablets in business!! shocker. But they are back. Caught up on the movie 'the Viceroys house' yesterday. I thought it was going to be rubbish but it was good. About Mountbatten and the partition of India/Pakistan in 1947. What a shocker that was. UK stuffs up again.
Am I a weirdo? I never use the IFE

Just checked EK IFE for September and it seems I've seen them all!
Looks like more Hennessy Paradis and Pink Floyd again!

EXACTLY!! 13 hours just soaking it all up - no need for distractions......However, couldn't you argue it is you that is indulging in mindfulness ... at one with your own thoughts?

Almost always use some form of IFE, be it music or movies, and I would chose a flight which did over one that didn't based solely on that fact.
FWIW, I don't consider been handed an iPad to really be considered IFE, especially in a bulkhead row where there is no holder for it, and thus you can choose to eat lunch, or watch a movie, but not both.
All that said, how someone wants to spend their time on a flight, provided it has no affect on me personally, does not bother me in the slightest.

I rarely use the IFE - just the map. Usually I am quite happy reading my book. Sometimes I will watch a movie, but I have quite a small head, and any of the over-the-head type headphones are huge on me so I have to physically hold them up on my ears or they slip down. Normally too hard, and I don't care enough to bother! I have discovered J & F headphones fit better, or my hubby's Bose headphones if I can wrestled them away from him, or I can grab my iPhone earbuds if I have them with me, but I am mostly happy with my book.

Oh no! I flew to ADL recently and just as the wheels hit the tarmac, the credits on the movie I was watching started to roll. Thankfully too as it was a short taxi to the terminal!

Recently flew MNL-SYD on a QF A330-200. Compared to the last few flights on CX A350 and QF A330-300 the IFE of the 332 was rubbish and hard to use, small screen and poor relative picture quality.
I read a book and slept. A thoroughly enjoyable flight and didn't miss the IFE at all.
