Are YOU one of the 67.2% of All Filmgoers Who Want to Sleep Through Movies?

 

Your instincts are right. Humans were built to sleep through movies. Our ancestors slept through movies. That's why early films were silent.

 

Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, Sam Goldwyn and other tyrannical studio bosses decided they could make more money selling popcorn and bonbons to patrons who stayed wide awake, on the edge of their seat, than to happy, fulfilled, sleeping people.

 

That's why many people today consider the Film Sleepy genre "ávant garde" or "not for them"…without watching a single movie that puts them to sleep. It's why no one has told them that most people in industrialized nations NEVER get enough sleep and could easily nod off through an entire film, awake refreshed and happy and find out enough about the film they've just slept through to discuss it at work the next day by skimming through one or two sites on the Internet.

 

Don't let multi-national theater chains keep you from living your dreams (or at least dreaming them). If you want to sleep tight, see a film sleepy tonight.

 

Which is better: Dogme 95? Or Film Sleepy 07? 

Goodby Dogme 95, Hello Film Sleepy 07

Dogme 95, the vow of cinematic chastity set forth by a group of Danish directors and adopted by indigent filmmakers around the world, makes way for Webcam 07, the vow of cinematic inertia.

.Dogme 95 rules of filmmaking prescribe that cameras all be handheld.
.Webcam 07 says tripods are acceptable as long as you advertise products in your movie.

.Dogme 95 prescribes that any music be made live on location.
.Webcam 07 says pre-recorded music is OK as long as products advertised pay for buyer referrals.

.Dogme 95 prescribes that the director not be credited.
.Webcam 07 says to qualify for a credit the director must star in the film and shoot at least one handheld closeup of themself.

.Dogme 95 prescribes that shooting be done on location using only props found at each location.
.Webcam 07 says all interiors must be shot in the director's home and all exteriors must be within one mile of said home. It's OK to buy props, but only at a 99c store (dollar stores are acceptable under adverse conditions).

.Dogme 95 prescribes the use of natural lighting only.
.Film Sleepy 07 says special care must be taken to imitate the limitations of a webcam, even while using lights, filters and a camera with interchangeable lenses.

.Dogme 95 prescribes that films must not contain superficial action such as murders.
.Film Sleepy 07 says movies are superficial to begin with and murders are acceptable as long as either murderer or victim wears a T-shirt offered for sale on the filmmaker's website.

About Sondra

Are you a creative genius like me? I have invented tap dancing newscasting, the 8 hour one person show and Film Sleepy, the movie genre that puts the audience to sleep. If you are a filmmaker or a filmgoer or suffer from too much stress or insomnia, then you should make film sleepy movies or sleep through them at least. This lens is your gateway to information on how people like us can show Hollywood moguls what is wrong with their movies (they keep people awake) and how to get audiences back into the theaters, where it is dark and comfy and where people naturally want to go to get some sleep.
