How do you say it?

see

more explanation?

Generally, 'see' has the connotation of
having gone to the movie theatre and
watched the movie there whereas 'watch'
tends to mean to watch it in a home
environment on DVD or TV.
In the cases where 'watch' is used to mean
doing so at a theatre, it is often
accompanied with a construction like "go
and", e.g. "We're going to go and watch X."
In the absence of other context, this
implies the sentence, "We're going to go to
the theatre and watch X" as opposed to
"We're going to go to Bill's house and
watch X."

Also, the distinction doesn't seem to apply
to past tense. I mostly hear 'seen' used in
this context but sometimes hear "watch"
Have you seen X?
Did you watch X?
The first one is much more common in my
experience.
Either way, the primary distinction
between watching a movie in a home
environment and watching it at a theatre
is probably constructions involving the use
of the verb "go".

hmmm...that's more explanatory thanks. someone else? oyinbo gurus where are y'all?
