Kevin's Watch

I've only fallen asleep in a theater on two occaisions:

1. The movie "Medicine Man" with Sean Connery.

2. The remake of "The Grinch" with Jim Carrey.

Both of these movies were so bad and so boring that I just couldn't remain conscious.

So, not counting DVDs or rentals at home, what movies put you to sleep?

I liked Medicine Man, grrr.

OTHO I fell asleep during Hanover Street (Leslie Ann Downe & Harrison Ford) & Conan the Destroyer...

Napoleon Dynamite and Flesh and Bone. Both were absolutely mind-numbingly pointless and boring.

I liked Medicine Man, grrr.

And I liked "The Forgotten" so grrr back at ya!

Driving Miss Daisy. Then again, I was like, 12 or something at the time, so it wasn't all that interesting. Could probably sit through it now.

I've never fallen asleep during a film - I need a lot of peace and quiet in order to fall asleep. But if were going to, it would probably while Lost In Translation is on.

Heh heh heh....

Gods and Generals

And I love history and historical movies.

This one was just incredibly boring.

Takes me a long time to fall asleep even when I'm exhausted. I'd never fall asleep while a film was on, I don't think.

Alynna! Say it ain't so! Please give Daisy another chance!

Ok, ok - yes, the dialogue was bad at times, and so were the fake beards - but how could you sleep through the Battles of Manasses, Fredricksburg and Chancellorsville?!

Heh heh....sorry.

I think I was snoring before the battles came up.

LOL, like I said, I was 12, more or less. I really have nothing against it. I think I've seen parts of it since then, and it's kept my interest... but then again, that might have been that Quantum Leap episode that ran in the same vein... *shrug* Will give it a try one of these days.

Kinda like sleeping through Pelennor Fields in ROTK... Wait, I've done that.

And it's Bull Run. Grrr.

And it's Bull Run. Grrr.

Bah!

Solaris (the George Clooney one). I know it's supposed to be a sensitive study of how loss haunts us, or some such, but I when I got it out on DVD I found it paralysingly dull. I just kept thinking, "Bring on the aliens. Or the starships. Or the big black monolith. Or just nuke the planet from orbit - it's the only way to be sure."

Also, Random Hearts, which I've been rude about elsewhere.

I rented Solaris on DVD and stopped watching it after about 15 minutes.

I've done that so many times I can't keep count.

Solaris was the most boring film I've ever watched. If I hadn't left I might have fallen asleep.

Only film I've ever fallen asleep to is You've got mail

I couldn't finish that one either.

I remember back in High School, myself and two friends went to see the Mel Brooks movie "To Be or Not To Be". I woke up at one point and saw my friend Pat fast asleep but couldn't see my other friend Kris anywhere. When I looked a little harder, he had stretched out across three or four seats.

I've since seen the film and thoguht it wasn't so bad...but I guess at 17 it was!

I got suckered into "Solaris" because I saw that James Cameron was listed as a producer.

I don't think my wife's forgiven me for that on e either.

I have fallen asleep almost every time I watch 2001. I don't know why, but the pace of the film is a sedative to me. I really like the movie, too; it just lulls me to sleep.

I always skip the dumb chimp scene at the beginning.
