I'm still trying to watch the original trilogy. Is it really THAT good? I fell asleep like 15 minutes into Raiders of the Lost Ark. The medicine and the fact I was tired as hell didn't help, granted, but still, the prospect of watching all 3 of these movies before this weekend is quite intimidating.

They're all terrible, and falling asleep only 15 minutes in is both common and reasonable. Who can be expected to have enough patience to wait a full 15 minutes for a movie to get going? Especially when those first fifteen minutes only has an adventure in a South American temple, booby trapped with gaping pits, lethal spikes, arrows, and a huge rolling boulder. Snooze.

I wonder if FO wants to see this tonight?

I doubt we'll be able to go camping this weekend. I looked at the reservations for the park we went camping last year, and it seems that literally every single camp site is reserved.

If you want to see it, I'll go with you. I just read on the local newspaper's website this morning that a lot of people are choosing to go camping instead of traveling farther due to high gas prices.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

I watched Raiders up to the part where they're transporting it by truck and I don't have anything bad to say, I haven't really been too wowed by it. Maybe it's a case of too-high expectations. The first 15 minutes was probably the most interesting part, actually. I was expecting more exploration of dangerous ruins like that as opposed to all the Nazi fighting.

Yes, and your original post that said you fell asleep during one of movies' most exciting introductions, with no mention at all of what was boring, was extremely helpful in understanding your opinion.

Split for a pointless digression (and sorry to others' posts who were split along with it; yuku doesn't let you pick and choose)

I'm still trying to watch the original trilogy. Is it really THAT good? I fell asleep like 15 minutes into Raiders of the Lost Ark. The medicine and the fact I was tired as hell didn't help, granted, but still, the prospect of watching all 3 of these movies before this weekend is quite intimidating.

If you think you are not implying any opinions with those words, you need to learn to communicate better.

And if you are claiming you cannot stay awake because you're sick or something, not because you were bored within 15 minutes, and then seriously asking if you should watch three movies in that state, why wouldn't the answer be, "No"?

I fell asleep during Lawrence of Arabia because I tried to watch it when I was plumb tired from working all week. The result was that I got nothing out of it besides Alec Guinness walking around and saying something about being an Arab and some good music.

So my suggestion is to watch them when you're feeling better.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
