Shred the Eleventh: The sleeper has awakened!

Mmm, Rite of Spring seems perfect for any listening situation.  

I made it half an hour in until I bailed, I feel I've done my cinematic duty. And something did happen stonie, there's a DEMON BABY! I skipped ahead, and holy crap this is the dumbest thing I have ever watched.

That's not trying to be art, though.

Bar, wedding, baby showers, anything is better with Stravinsky playing.

King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said the guards were right to follow their training. "If you're a bank teller and you do something other than give them the money, you're going to get fired," Urquhart said. "We don't expect civilians to take police action. In this case, it was a violent fight, and they were outnumbered by this pack of people 3-to-1

Well thats f**king stupid.

Ah well, now that Rite of Spring has finished I think I'll be off to bed.

Probably, I don't think you can watch movies like that in the same way you watch, say, Iron Man.

Obviously, but you can't expect me to enjoy the camera filming absolutely nothing happening. I'm going to give 2001 another shot later, I wasn't entirely fair to it. I think the book series kind of sucked too, so that's already a strike against poor Stanley. I think I tried to read 2010 a few times, but I never made it to the end. Although that was a long time ago.

I love 2001, but I completely understand why people don't like it; to be fair, a lot of time is taken by scenes that do essentially nothing for the plot. It could seem like half the movie is listening to the Blue Danube watching a space shuttle dock.
