It is hard for me to think of a movie I CAN finish nowadays. Or a book of fiction.

I went to the theater to watch the 1st harry potter movie when it came out. I never read any of the books so I thought it would be something like the lord of the rings...what a piece of spam that movie was. I slept the whole friggen time.

No, really, the Aristocrats. I could handle dozing off during the other.


I was lent this by a friend. Because I didn't pay for it and felt as though I should watch it because they may have liked it I fought through it. Returning it they said they stopped after 15 minutes because it was s*it. W@nkiest film I've ever seen, want that hour and a half back.

28 weeks later, tried twice downloading from torrents, in two parts. After watching the first and falling asleep because it was so bad I sworn that there's no inckling to watch the second half.

Crank. I actually wanted to see this, but ugh. ugh. I didn't think it was possible to make a movie about a crazed man on the edge so boring. I lasted about ten minutes. That tedious incoherent scene in the drug dealer's house dragged on forever and I just gave up.

The problem for me is that someone here got me hooked on the podcast of Penn Radio while it was on, and so I've heard all his interviews with people in the film, so I wanted to see what they were talking about. Still, every time, I make up during the credits and never did see some of the people during the film.

Triplets of Belleville. I feel my eyes droop in the opening sequence. All my artsy friends in high school were fascinated by it.. I tried once then, then once recently, and I don't think I'll try again.

"Inchon."

A Sun Myung Moon production starring, believe it or not, Laurence Olivier. It lost more than $40 million dollars, some say a lot more.

Even with producers raffling off a Rolls Royce to people who bought a ticket to watch the movie, it brought in less than $2 million at the box office, some say a lot less.

"Inchon" did, however, "win" several awards.

Here is a rather odd review of it from the NYT:

1. 2001
2. Alien
3. Blade Runner
4. Titanic
5. Top Gun
6. Anything with Ben Stiller or that Will Ferrel guy. (I think that I did manage to get through Starsky and Hutch, though.)

My girlfriend once rented "Before Sunset" and we made it maybe ten or fifteen minutes into it.

Blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah...

Whoever started the trend of 1.5 hour, trite, self-righteous, meaningless philosophical conversation movies should be shot.

Nominated for an Oscar no less.

The Godfather 1,2,3

Good movies, from what I've seen, but I've never finished any yet. Confused


I've seen all three beginning to end, but I had to watch them in 2 part segments - awesome trilogy, just hard to get through.

It took three tries before I could get through "Papillion". Another awesome movie, but kept nodding off towards the end.
