Can we change the title of this thread to "Movies I didn't finish"? That's how it's used isn't it?
Anyways...
Field of Dreams - never seen it before, but basically I got bored before James Earl Jones even showed up. I guess I'll miss out on the big crying moment everyone remarks on at the end... but I've heard it described so many times I wouldn't be able to experience it organically anyways. From what I did see, everything with the townsfolk and neighbours and extended family could've been cut out. "What's he doing?" "Oh your corn crop!" "I don't see anybody"... what does it matter what any of these busybodies think. Their generic comments bored me. I like that the wife is supportive and they just get the ball rolling right away. The farm debt and disbelieving, well-meaning neighbour stuff... yawnsville.
A Walk in the Woods - I had seen this once before in theatres. It's a mostly palatable film... though at times you have to tolerate it. Evidently I didn't feel the need to finish it again. I guess I was just looking for something quick and easy.
Strange Days - This had been on my list of films to rewatch for a while, and it popped up on Netflix. Having seen it before I really noticed this time how much the world building drags. Nothing about it really wrapped me up as it had before, and there weren't any standout scenes to keep me going. I think I got about half way and drifted.
Men in Black - When did this come out? That's the last time I saw it. There's been sequels, which I ignored. It's just not as funny as it probably once was for me. Lasted maybe 30 minutes .
