How awesome would that be? In between the latest Doritos and Budweiser commercial, you get a 60 second short film directed by Martin Scorsese. You could have a different director do a short film for each quarter of the game. Or hell, how about Christopher Nolan directing a 5 minute short film and have it broken up a minute per quarter with the finale coming at the end of the game.

Tell me you wouldn't stick around to watch the whole game.

1. there is sure a lot f time to fill
one of the big reasons I never watch that game - it shouldn't take 4 1/2 hours to play 60 minutes of football

I like to watch long films by famous and non-famous filmakers. ;)

3. Okay.
"I wouldn't stick around to watch the whole game." There, I said it, and I mean it, too :P

Then again, I can't remember the last Stupor Bowl I watched on purpose...

I'll wait for the DVD of those shorts. Easier that way :)

No, I wouldn't stick around to watch a movie. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd go watch a fucking movie.
If I'm watching a sporting event, it's obviously because I want to watch a sporting event and not a movie!!!!
To quote Howard Dean.... "AAAAHHH!!!"

5. If I had the money
I'd pay to have the Superbowl stadium filled with strawberry Jello. Then I'd hand out spoons and tell them they can play when they're finished eating.
