Then realizing your attention strayed away and thinking, "Fuck! What did they say?"

I regularly miss whole scenes in movies and shows and have to go back and rewatch them, even though I was sitting there looking at the screen the entire time. Drives my partner nuts.

OMGawd, I know! It sucks because it's totally unintentional.

Is there a "good" way to reach people in that situation?

Say, "Hey [insert name]? Can I have your undivided attention for a sec?" Do not proceed until they are either looking at you or giving you sure signs that they're ready to listen.
