Just put the Wiggles tape on, and lull yourself back to sleep; safely ensconced in Anthony’s sinewy grasp.

The End Has Come
Here is what IMDB had:

-This is the longest movie ever made at a total running time of 85 hours. It premiered in its entirety at The School Of The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois from 31 January to 3 February 1987 in one continuous showing.

-This film is basically an experiment designed to reprogram biological clocks for insomniacs so they can sleep again. L.D. Groban reads his own poem during the span of about four days, which is interspliced with stock footage of heavy-metal videos and x-rated footage.


With this evidence why would anyone want to see this, unless they're on drugs or insane?

Hmm, maybe I should read more of the thread before I say things like that.

Insomnia.

May the Force be with you on your journey on finding that.

Elephant Man, I was asking you a serious question, not "being a whore about it". The clue there was when I said, "Seriously..." and the clincher should have been when I didn't tell you you can't afford it.

Take two: What's the attraction to seeing this film for you?



If I had 6 bottles of Voldka, four bags of Cool Ranch Chips, 3 jars of cheese dip, two cases of Red Bull and a partner I would watch it. Oh yeah and an unlimited supply of Hooters hot wings.

Oh my god..that's so long. I wonder how long it took to make?



Anyone watching that would only watch it for the 5 minute porno bits and then leave. Why would you want to see some saggy old bastard read a poem for 85 hours, like, you'd be pretty ****ing idiotic.
