Glory ,'Potential'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I won't go to the movies with a co worker/friend after we went to see Batman Begins. He fell asleep and started snoring. Loudly. He got upset everytime I nudged and claimed not to be asleep. Eyes closed. loud snoring. So very asleep.
You work with/know my DH??? Yeah, not only will I not go to movies with him any more, I won't go to live performances (plays or musicals) with him either. Embarassed way too many times.
I fell asleep on my ex during The Cider House Rules. At that point he had reached acceptance about my snoring and apparently the other 2 people in the theater were so far away it didn't bother them.
Also fell asleep halfway through my 6th viewing of Pulp Fiction, though in my defense friends dragged me in after I'd told them I was worn out and had seen the damn thing often enough to quote dialogue verbatim. Much less trouble with the sound being heard over shouts, gunshots, and gimp bringing-out.
I fell asleep during Constantine. I don't have any desire to rent it and see how it turned out so I guess it wasn't that bad an idea. I don't think I snored since the people I went with didn't notice.
I fell asleep the second time I saw The Two Towers-- I was already sleepy, and I knew that if I actually watched the battle and the caves with the big-eyed kids and the little boy with his too-big armor I'd get too overwrought and end up with nightmares, so as everyone was suiting up I slithered to the back of the theater (one of those big ones with couches) and slept until it was all over. I don't feel at all guilty about it, either, except for the drooling.
I fall asleep damn near every time I see something at Film Forum, completely irrespective of the movie being shown. My theory is that the seats are so uncomfortable that my body simply shuts down in disgust. Which is a shame, because I've missed the middle third of some very good films because of it.

That's....odd.

That's... so weird. I guess your theory makes some sense.
I've seen, um, two movies at Film Forum. The Seven Samurai and that movie where Michelle Trachtenberg played a goth girl best friend to the sexually abused gay guy. I should see something happy there at some point.
ETA: Oh, that Spider-man article reminds me that I saw a trailer for "Lady in the Water" in front of Brokeback Mountain and it was so poorly done that I nearly died laughing. I imagine it might actually be decent (Shymalan has to strike gold again someday, right? RIGHT? And Paul Giametti rocks) but the trailer was... not good.

Hee -- good luck with that! I think the most cheerful thing I've ever seen there was La Dolce Vita. They were happy most of the time...
[eta: I take that back -- they're showing One Two Three right now, which I believe is fairly low in existential angst and/or trauma.]
