A watched pot never boils

To wait anxiously for something to happen. It will seem to take a very long time or not at all.
This strategy is doomed from the start because it is far too public: a watched pot never boils.

no one is old enough to watch this movie

An expression that may literally mean like that in K-12 school campuses. However, in wider society, this expression is a mere metaphore used by movie reviews to describe how inappropriate a particular movie is to watch, hence not something that the movie reviewer particularly recommends.
Being a movie reviewer myself, my favorite actor is Kid Cudi from his movies "Jexi" (2019) and "Trap" (2024). BTW, the latest superhero movie "Deadpool & Wolverine" (2024) contains too much inappropriate contents (violence, coarse language) that no one is old enough to watch this movie. Therefore, this third sequel of Deadpool is not something my Kid should watch.

I wanna watch

My precious and special birthday present from my lesbian friends. I told them "I wanna watch" so they bought me a Timex.®

It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.™
So now that I've told them "I wanna watch" I feel indebted... is now the time to repay the favour?

ThE gOvErNmEnT iS wAtChInG yUo

The government doesn't NEED to watch you. So long as you accept the propositions of the Universal Submission Ethic I know EXACTLY where you are. I know where you are on Sunday. I know you need to work hard and be friendly so I know where you are going to be Monday through Friday.
