Instead of writing this post, I could be watching D. W. Griffith's Intolerance, #49 on the American Film Institute's top 100 American films.
After painting 50 ten-and-twelve-foot clapboards three times (once on the back and twice on the face), I was a tad tired. I wasn't sure that a silent film would keep me awake.
After watching the beginning of the movie on youtube, I knew that it wouldn't. The four minutes I watched moved at a glacial pace. Since I am a fast reader, I was left staring at the title cards for an additional 5 seconds. That may not seem like much but my brain was calling out for some action if I were to remain awake.
I was still ambivalent because it is also a social gathering. But then I fell asleep on the couch after dinner.
Sometimes my body decides what I should do.
