My God, it's full of stars. (Off-Topic)

I loved the book, but the movie was the one film I've EVER seen that I fell asleep in a theater while watching. Slow burn, indeed.

That's the Kubrick Curse for me too. No matter how "great" and "groundbreaking" his films are, they're so dang boooooooooring to sit through. I'm not one of the Michael Bay types, but things in Kubrick's films drag on way, way too much (especially when he goes into the pointless slo-mo or long music-driven scenes). It's a commitment to sit through his films, but it pays off, for the most part.

You want sleep-inducing film, though? Try sitting though "My Dinner With Andre". Cure for insomnia right there...

If I were a jerk I'd step in here and say that everyone knows that Korny has the worst taste in movies, but I'm not a jerk.

MY DINNER WITH ANDREW is one of my favorites. Bought the criterion version a few years back.

As a comic counterpoint, try MY BREAKFAST WITH BLASSIE.
