Hrm, yes, the composition of the cinematography offsets the boringness.
[quote name="Fullofkittens"]When describing movies, "slow" is a synonym for "boring." I don't hate <i>2001</i> - I think I appreciate it on its merits - but having seen it once I think I probably will watch it exactly one more time in my life (10, 20 years from now) and even that might end up feeling like a mistake. I watched parts of it at least a dozen times before committing myself to watching it on an occasion when definitely wouldn't fall asleep in the middle, which is what happened the first dozen times. I guess this is indicative of the slow burn of paranoia and isolation I was feeling. Actually, now that I think about it, I think the reason I found it so boring the first 10+ times I tried to watch it was that I was watching it on TV in a situation where I couldn't turn up the volume. The sound design does help it a lot. Everybody in this thread is dancing around <i>The Shining</i> because they don't wanna say that a band's hit single is its best song, even if it is.[/quote]
