2. Literally, I've never fallen asleep at a theater, but "The Return of the King" generated physical
agony for me, trying to force myself to stay awake despite the super jumbo Coke I had imbibed during the show. At one point near what I hoped would be the end I actually exclaimed aloud, without meaning to, "Oh come on, just end the damned thing," and got several "No kidding"s from people nearby.

I hear others liked the film. I guess there was an undercurrent of something I just couldn't detect.

17. You should have at least taken a break between viewings...
It seemed to last 12 hours, anyway.

3. PI, I can't even remember what the movie is about.
I have tried to watch it since and have fallen asleep every time.

9. The original Rat Pack version of Ocean's Eleven
In fairness, I probably shouldn't have tried to watch it at 1am, but in any case, I didn't think it was nearly as good as the Clooney/Pitt version.

18. It was only good if you liked the actors in it.
There was a lot of cute character interplay that drove it. It was fascinating to me to see the Vegas of that era, though. They robbed the whole city by flipping a few circuits and walking into cages to steal the money. These days you can't rob a convenience store that easily.

Plus, the ending was cute. But yeah, it wasn't much compared to the recent version.

15. Every "romantic comedy" anybody's ever talked me into trying to watch.
I don't know why they call them that. They're not funny.
