FIlms you never got to the end of...

[JTurner]

I tried to watch House of flying daggers on a long haul flight but couldn't get past 15 mins, watched Sideways instead - far better.
Dancer in the Dark I gave up on, but I keep on meaning to go back to it.
And even though I was armed with a kebab and was drunk from the pub I couldn't watch Spawn.

[Roger Godpleton]

There's been plenty of films that have been on late at night on telly which means I have to stop watching partway through including:
- All 3 Romero zombie films just recently
- The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
- Crash (I thought it was ok, but a bit superficial).
- Blue Velvet (This is the only film I can think of where I stopped watching it 'cos I didn't like it. Terrible, superficial meaningless dross, although Dennis Hopper was good.)
- Last Tango in Paris.

[Funt Solo]

I never got to the end of any of these movies, despite several attempts:

Desperately Sucking Susan
Pump Friction
Saturday Night Beaver
White Men Can't Pump
The Italian Knob

[Conexus]

did your flatmate only watch porn or summatt Fate?

[Funt Solo]

Yeah, that's right - my flatmate - yup.

[Conexus]

well I wouldn't have thought you'd watch that much shit porn by your own violition- thought you'd have moved on to more quality stuff long before then, but whatever

It took me about a fortnight to watch all of Wong Kar wai's 2046, but i got there in the end - it wasn't worth it.

And it took me nearly two years to watch the whole of Pandora's Box (no, not the straight-to-video film of the same name enjoyed by fate amenable to change). A two and a half hour 1929 silent movie, without even a music score attached, and I found myself unable to concentrate on it for longer than 15 minutes at a time because I kept forgetting I was watching a film and couldn't remember what I'd just seen.

[Wils]

Hardware for me. I always nod off just before the thing rebuilds itself and wake up during the end credits.

[Grant Goggans]

Oh, lord, my ex-wife adored Pandora's Box, and the other agonizing Pabst-Louise Brooks silent movie, Diary of a Lost Girl.  I don't remember it being two and a half hours long, though.  Trauma must prevent me from recalling it.

[House of Usher]

Not wanting to intrude on private grief, Grant, (oh, what the heck...) but - was she by any chance.... a lesbian?

[Mudcrab]

Hardware for me. I always nod off just before the thing rebuilds itself and wake up during the end credits.

Always been that way with Bladerunner for me. Sleep inducing sci-fi that's great, don't get me wrong, but always seems to make you fall asleep. Think I've seen the end twice out of watching it a hundred times. Still not sure which one's the director's cut. It's probably the music that does it.

That should also go into the books thread too, couldn't finish 'Androids/Sheep', it was just too damn bleak.

[Conexus]

oh yes; Blade Runner- never seen more than about quater of an hour of that

[Wils]

couldn't finish 'Androids/Sheep'

That's one of the few books I read over and over again. The opera house/police station bit alone is worth reading whole thing for.

>That's one of the few books I read over and over again.

That and 'Shaft's Big Voodoo Boogie Boom Dance'

[Wils]

'Shaft has a Ball', *actually*. :p
