to punish him and watch the movie without him

I was due to watch a movie with someone I have been seeing by 8pm. I was ready and waiting by 20 minutes before as I knew about it all day. 15 minutes before and he tells me he has just volunteered his time to multiple random people on the internet through an advice app or something and they are having quite a long conversation that will go over the 8pm and he doesn't know how long it will take. At 8pm he volunteers to watch the movie with me whilst being occupied with the intense conversations of multiple people. He hasn't reacted well. It was meant to be a cosy night in watching a movie together and I would feel like a third wheel to my own movie night. I have told him to just forget it and will go and watch it in a few minutes by myself. He hasnt reacted well

he wouldn’t be fully present for movie night. He wouldn’t be fully present in his time with me.
he’d be engrossed in his phone.

as opposed to be engrossed in the movie? How is that being fully present?
It sounds like a teenager girl strop 😂

I am so glad I wasn't born male, honestly, the drama when you are dating😂😂

I don't get the point of this, sorry. Unless you were waiting at cinema it's pathetic.
