It's intermittent, but covers all choices when it happens.

Or maybe if you don't feel like going to any movie why not do something else? Is there something that you would like to do?

Yeah, go to sleep and never have to make a decision again. Oddly enough, this is rarely available.

You seem to be confusing a lack of emotional reaction with a neutral reaction. If I can't choose a movie, it doesn't mean I'm reluctant to see one, or that I won't enjoy it.

"Do something else, then" is rarely applicable. You aren't going to cancel an appointment because you can't decide on a date, or answer "Do you want to go to the park?" with "I don't know. Let's talk about the history of cheesemaking."
