God, is this a long boring movie... I've always heard so much about it.. so I downloaded it and I'm about a 1/3 of the way through (which for this movie is like 40 minutes) and god....
Anyone watch this?
Does anything happen?
Is it worth watching?

lol, you have such a way w/ words
but yeah, I'm not getting into it... I know some of the backstory, doesn't really mean I'm engaged though. I'll stick it out if for nothing else than to say I watched the damn thing.

I tried to watch it once and fell asleep shortly into it. I still want to try and watch it all one day though.

Its not just a fucking sled- it's innocence and youth. Does everything have to be about big tits and guns to make a movie worthwhile?

kind of a large amount of effort to express "money can't by happiness" and "being a kid is cool"

Do you remember that show "tiny toons"? well, they did a spoof of citizen kane... except, instead of "rosebud" they were trying to figure out what "acme" meant, and in the end of the episode the sled was 'acme' brand. So, yeah, I watched that when I was about, what, 10? 12? somewhere between?
Cue age 17 I'm a senior in high school and for AP English one of our assignments was to watch Citizen Kane. Well, we would watch it in class on one of those horrible rolling TVs and the teacher could NEVER get the VCR to show up on the TV... anyway... we weren't able to watch it all at once, it took about 4 class periods to watch it. Now NO ONE had seen this movie before, but after watching the first 30 minutes of it I remembered the Tiny Toons episode.
well, the teacher stopped the movie about 15 minutes until the end and we had to write a short essay about what we thought Rosebud was and why it was so important to the guy. So she graded them that night and the next day we got to see the end. You weren't counted off for being wrong of course, just graded on the normal English stuff... grammar, punctuation, spelling, paragraph/sentence structure, etc etc.
I knew it was the sled and wrote your standard essay about how it meant a lot to him b/c it represented youth and innocence before the guy became rich and it was ironic it was his last word b/c he was so rich and the sled was basically worthless and considered trash and destroyed a metaphor for the innocence he destroyed by being so rich, etc etc (all these points made obvious to everyone after they find out what it was)
anyway, the teacher told me out of the past 15 years I was the only person to EVER get it right and from that point on I did whatever the fuck I wanted in that class. I wrote whatever the fuck I wanted, even if it wasn't about the assignments and got A's.
until at the end of the year when we wrote our big research essays and I wrote one supporting gay rights and had a pic of two girls kissing on the front. I still made an A on the paper, but I got zero points for my cover page, as it was "inappropriate". I argued that anti-gay essays had pictures of straight people kissing... but really didn't fight it THAT much.
anywho.
That's the story about how Tiny Toons gave me an A in AP English.
