Author Topic: Falling Asleep During a Film? Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-11-2006 05:14 PM                        Black Hawk Down.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 06-11-2006 05:46 PM                        Batman & Robin Over The Hedge (second viewing) Tomb Raider The Matrix (42nd viewing) Fight Club (33rd viewing) Stick It (second viewing) These are the only ones that I remember falling asleep to while in the movie theater... As for the multiple viewings of The Matrix and Fight Club... well, just loved em I guess. But when you are tired, they seem boring if you have seen them that many times.

No, I did not read the book, nor did I see it because I wanted to (it was just one of those nights out at the movies with friends). All I can say is that the movie bored me to sleep, although the scenes featuring The Police's frontman Sting looking something like a cross between a hot-air balloon and a dermatologist's nightmare was somewhat amusing.

The Shadow was the first movie I really slept for a significant amount of time. Other movies I slept in theaters: The Hours(this movie really knocked me OUT) The Recruit or whatevermovie with AL Pacino and Colin Farrell. Goddamit. this movie really knocked me out cold after the first half. Youve Got Mail( i would have slept sooner, but i was too busy cursing myself for leting another family member make the choice. No single guys should be subject to such torture). Tomb Raider(once I realized the side view of the breast shower scene was about as good as it got) Moulin Rouge( I actually loved the first half, but everything starting with the overwrought ROxanne song put me to sleep) Armageddon(slept in scenes with the spacestation and a few others) Bad Boys 2(slept in the middle portion. what a freaking long boringass movie) Honorable Mentions: MIB 2. (Unbelievable I actually found time to sleep in an 80 minute movie) Confessions of a Dangerous Mind(what a majr disappointment for me)  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-12-2006 10:13 AM                     In the theater: LOTR Fellowship of the rings. I love the second two but the first one was BORING. Pokemon 2000 Godzilla 2000 The absolute most boring movie I have ever tried to watch was "Enigma." I didnt fall asleep but I spent the whole time looking for change under the seats. The New World comes in a close second. Great scenery but way too slow. I forgot to mention the first Harry Potter. I never tried to watch the rest because I figured I would just fall asleep.

I think I fell asleep in Blues Brothers 2000 also.  |  IP: Logged Robert John Jeromson Master Film Handler Posts: 264 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Jul 2004 posted 06-12-2006 04:54 PM                     Matrix Reloaded (Second Time) and Love Actually, ironically I really enjoyed them both.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 06-12-2006 05:29 PM                     TRON (second viewing, both times in the theater) Really enjoyed it the first time. "My Dinner With André" Saw it right after "Blazing Saddles" at a campus screening. What was I thinking?  |  IP: Logged Wayne Keyser Master Film Handler Posts: 272 From: Arlington, Virginia, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 06-12-2006 09:18 PM                     The late 1960s (no vcrs, no dvds, see it there or never see it) - college foreign film society - giant "stadium style" lecture hall packed with "gotta see this for a grade" audience - nobody up there in the last row but little old me with two 16mm Kodak Pageants (still think they're one of the alltime great 16mm machines - thread 'em in your sleep, rarely lose a loop) THE RED AND THE BLACK - Cocteau's ORPHEE - Anything by Bunuel - THE SEVENTH SEAL - All guaranteed to induce a deep slumber. Oh, the list just goes on ... wake up to the flap-flap-flap of the tail leader, annoyed laughter from the audience, and a tap on the shoulder from the professor. Those were the days [*Sigh*]  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-13-2006 02:16 AM                     In 84 I tried to fall asleep watching Steve Martin's The Lonely Guy but my buddy Jeff wouldn't let me."If I can stay awake watching this piece of crap, so can you." Sometime in the late 80's a movie titled "Heaven Becomes Hell", which had a poster which promised sex, played for one week at the Mall theatre. There were several employees at the screening. Halfway through, I am about to nod off. Jason laughs at something in the movie and wakes me up. I look around me and discover Jason and I are the only ones left. In 90, I watch Wild Orchids (Orchid?). I successfully nodded off this time for an undetermined amount of time. I was on the clock, too...  |  IP: Logged David Ingalsbe Film Handler Posts: 31 From: Eagan, MN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 06-13-2006 05:05 AM                     Marky marks planet of the apes. I had to watch the movie twice in one night. ok movie for the price of admit (varifcation screening on both) but a second time at 3am is too much. have slept in the booth twice durring break times.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-13-2006 05:28 AM                        It only took five minutes and I was snoozing last week when I saw "THE DA VINCI CODE". I was looking forward to the movie regardless of the poor reviews it was getting from most of the critics. Because I used movie money to see the film for free from a Columbia DVD I had purchased, I only wasted two hours of my life trying to watch this over hyped film. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
