Posted: 7/30/07 at 10:10pm
I'm just curious if anyone has ever gone to see a movie in the theaters or rented a movie and fell asleep during it. I have only done it a couple of times but I'm thinking it was because I was sick. I fell asleep during The Bourne Identity, Big Fish(even though I watched it again wide awake), and V For Vendetta( I might've been sick, but again I felt the film was boring; Passed out in the beginning and woke up during the scene where Natalie Portman was getting her head shaved).
So, have YOU ever fallen asleep during a movie?

Posted: 7/30/07 at 10:11pmI spaced out during Harry Potter tonight, but it was my second time seeing it, and I was really tired. I daydreamed throught most of it.

Posted: 7/30/07 at 10:17pmIt actually seems that it's easier to fall asleep during the longer movies. I think I was starting to doze off during Lord of The Rings The Two Towers. I know my dad was. Hell, he fell asleep during Terminator 3 and didn't even wake up during the explosions.

Posted: 7/30/07 at 10:34pmI am **SHOCKED** that you thought of a thread topic about movies that Cruel_Sandwich hasn't posted about yet!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 7/30/07 at 10:37pmWent to see The Talented Mr Ripley in the theatre (not my choice) and fell asleep, and I remember waking up and being really annoyed that the movie was *still* dragging on...and not to mention Gwynnie is in it, and she's just- ugh!- to me.

kept nodding off in the middle of Le Grand Silence - I just could not keep my eyes open
A guy a few rows in front of me fell asleep around the same time and snored away until the end credits rolled.
I'm sure many would think Le Grand Silence is a boring movie, but I found it incredibly relaxing and didn't regret going to it.

Posted: 7/30/07 at 11:11pmI fell asleep during HP4 and 5 because I was bored. I also fell asleep during I Know Who Killed Me because I was running on a few hours sleep and it was a stupid movie anyway.

Posted: 7/30/07 at 11:37pmI fell asleep during Superman Returns, but that was mostly because my legs were pinned by the back of the seat of the person sitting in front of me who had the nerve to be annoyed that he couldn't recline further because I was in the way... Sleep was the only way out I could think of at the time. I couldn't get up and move to a different seat without stepping on his face, which in retrospect, would have probably been a really good idea.
Does the sun really rise in the east?
Does the earth really spin around the sun?
What's it matter in the least?
What's real to me ain't real to everyone.

Posted: 7/31/07 at 12:56amLemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. At one minute I was watching Meryl Streep on screen, thing I knew I was waking up to witness her untimely demise. It was a very late showing though.

superman returns, only saw five minutes before I was out
well, it was a double feature at the drive in and we had just watched the LONG POTC2, so I guess one could see that coming
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

"The never ending English Patient"
LOL, Taz - you're so right about that.
SEXY BEAST
SWEET CHARITY (don't kill me, I was a kid)
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I fall asleep watching movies, at home, all the time. I blame my couch. It's extremely comfy.
I've only fallen alseep at a movie theater once. It was at a midnight showing of Underworld II and I'd had a very, very long day.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Posted: 7/31/07 at 9:17amI fell asleep watching 2001: A Space Odyssey (but re-watched it later) and fell asleep watching Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones (because it was dull).
