Gone without the wind

July 25th, 2008

The reason movie goals are on my list is because I am terrible at watching movies and thus I rarely make the effort.

Why am I terrible?

Because I fall asleep. Doesn’t matter what time of the day or night it is, if a movie doesn’t interest me straight away, my eyelids suddenly become heavy.

So the prospect of watching Gone with the Wind, a 222-minute long movie about love during the war, is pretty daunting, despite the fact that many claim it is the best movie of all time.

As I write this, I have now failed on three attempts to watch this movie. The furthest in I have managed is 90 minutes, which barely starts to get into the plot. I think I need to have about five Red Bulls, and start the movie first thing in the morning, to be able to stay awake for the entire film.

Perhaps I keep falling asleep because the movie is not my preferred film genre. Maybe it is because the film goes for way, way, way too long.

But most likely, I keep falling asleep because frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

    You have a great sense of humour! This write up made me laugh, particularly at the end.

    Keep the humour……
