Silent Films
Those silent movies were really something, weren’t they?
Yesterday, I attended a six-hour silent-film marathon. The films were modern, but the theater’s sound system was broken. The theater has a no-refund policy, so I stuck around.
Actually, it wasn’t quite a movie marathon in the usually sense. There was only one two-hour film, but I couldn’t follow the plot worth a damn without the sound and, as best I could tell, the film was horrid, so I sat through it three times to make sure I got my money’s worth.
If you were listening to music on your iPod while you watched the movie I bet you would have caught on in only 2 viewings. What movie were you watching?
@David: I wish I had thought of the idea of an iPod. I might have enjoyed the movie much more.
I know this sounds strange considering it was only a couple of days ago now, but I honestly don’t remember what the film was. I dozed off several times during each of the viewings, and the film wasn’t engaging enough to be memorable.
