WWTBAM Bored

I have tried to watch this movie at least 20 times. I normally fall asleep about 15-20 minutes in. Last night-I tried to outsmart myself and started at that point. I made it about 1 minute and out cold.

I have vague memories of seeing parts of it on cable in college in the 80's.

New life goal-actually making it through this movie.

Do posts by elwoodblues also put you to sleep....?

The bored does not like me today. It fails to recognize me, like a ^*^*^)&) speaker of a representative body. I do not know whether this will show up in the Blues Brothers thread. When and if it is, I think I will let the internet be for now.

OK Computer.

The movie which put/puts me to sleep always is "My Own Private Idaho" where the lead character has a sleep disorder.

This should have led me to suspect I had and have severe obstructive sleep apnea......

OTOH, I love "The Blues Brothers". Every second of it.

I have never been able to stay awake through "Dances with Wolves" and yet I loved the book.

What's the last scene in the movie that you remember? Maybe it's triggering some kind of post-hypnotic suggestion?

Also are you seeing an edited/censored version? The penguin scene is infinitely more hilarious in the orignal version. Then when Jake gets the call, I'm locked in until the end.

Been finding it harder to stay awake through night-time viewings of "It's A Wonderful Life" in recent years. I usually nod off shortly after Clarence shows up, but come to around "Merry Christmas Movie House!"

And I never got into Star Trek, so we're even.

One of the things I liked about the movie was that they were always calm no matter what was going on. At one point they were driving through a shopping mall with the police chasing them, smashing store windows and causing people to scatter, and they were carrying on a normal conversation. ("This mall has everything.")

And don't forget the great music.

Now that's a possibility.

..on AMC.

First time in about 20 years.

And it suddenly dawned on me that the movie, quite frankly, sucked.

Never knew what I saw in it before.
