Sleepers
I hate falling asleep during movies. It's so pointless. It's okay to fall asleep if you've seen the movie before, but there are certain movies I can never seem to stay awake through. I call these movies "Sleepers." I'll use it in a sentence too: "Oh man! I watched this sleeper last night and fell asleep at about 11, I felt so lame." Many people disagree with me when I say that Guys and Dolls is a sleeper, but I've attempted to watch it like 5 times and I've only gotten as far as "A Person Could Develop a Cold." Many people really really disagree with me when I say that Alien is a sleeper, but the first 20 minutes are the longest 20 minutes ever. I was like "Please is someone gonna die already?" I fell asleep before I found out. One movie that most people don't realize is a sleeper is Titanic. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "Katie, I have seen all of Titanic and it is therefore not a sleeper." But you stand corrected my friend. Titanic is such a long movie that you are bound to fall asleep at one point or another, you just fall asleep at a different part every time, so you've still seen the whole movie. I've only fallen asleep in the actual theater once. It was during Robin Hood, which from the first 20 minutes that I did see I could tell it was a lame rip-off of the charming British T.V show. In my defense, it was at a drive in, which actually is quite strange because it normally takes me forever to fall asleep in the car. The weirdest part about falling asleep during movies is that sometimes people say, "Hello Katie, have you seen Aliens?" and I'm never sure if I should say I have, or just say that I fell asleep. Would that make me look really lame?

Has anyone really said, "Hello Katie, have you seen Aliens?" It just doesn't seem like something you'd say immediately after a greeting. Or was it in the sense "HELLO- Katie, have you seen Aliens?" [as in- what are you thinking? have you seen aliens?]
ReplyDeleteBut as you know, for me, almost every movie watched at home is a "sleeper"...
