Sleepwatching
Movies that have put me to sleep during the past few months:
I used to pride myself on never falling asleep while watching a DVD at home. But this past year I've found myself totally exhausted at the end of most days. If a movie doesn't capture my attention right away, chances are I'm not going to make it all the way through. Most of the above films I didn't even bother finishing the next night. I just popped them into their envelopes and mailed them back to Netflix.
My record for not falling asleep in a movie theater is still intact, although I came mighty close this past summer during a free morning showing of Curious George.
Girl With A Pearl Earring
The Life Aquatic
I Heart Huckabees
Idiocracy
The Big Lebowski
Prick Up Your Ears
Bandits

Just the titles alone of these movies put me to sleep ... how 'bout a Rambo flick ... put the kiddos to bed early first.
I love many of the movies listed here, but I strongly recommend you give Lebowski another try. It gets better with repeated viewings. It is in our personal collection :)
My grandfather fell asleep at every movie we ever went to as a kid. I used to think, "How can he do that? Doesn't he know what he is missing."
Of course, now I know the truth of it.
Dude...I can't believe you fell asleep during TBL!! Dude.
I'm sure it's not obvious that I like that movie. I love the rapport, if you will, of Jeff Bridge's character and John's Goodman's character. Totally cracked me up. Oh, and John T. in his bowling outfit. Man...that brought tears to my eyes. Though, if you don't like Cohen bros. humor then you won't like it.
Thanks for the wasp tip...been slacking on my blog reading lately, but I'll catch up soon!
