This must be the longest film I've ever viewed that never captured my interest and that seemed to go nowhere.

Fortunately, I've developed a technique for screening/filtering so called blockbusters without having to sit through them before determining whether or not they're worth watching.

I get the DVD, avi or whatever and play it in the background while I go on with my daily routine (making lunch, viewing my email, etc.). If it cannot compete with the mundane activities in my life, it suggests that my boring life is more interesting than the film.

It works like a dream. Needless to say, I don't often get much done in my day, but TWBB gave me an opportunity to catch up on things. Sadly, it wasn't even as engrossing as the news.
