Logging

Film: Rear Window

When I first saw the film, I found it boring. Next time I watched, I understood it to be darkly hilarious. Now I find it boring again. Although I can see why the movie would be fun to direct.

UPDATE: One of the funniest conceits in film is that the "watched" object cannot perceive or sense being "watched". Like, wouldn't all these people close their shades? In detective films, it's so hilarious when you have the "detective" in a car across the street watching a house and someone leaves. If I'm leaving my house, I basically know the cars in the neighborhood, and if I see a weird car running with a dude watching me, I'd notice in like 3 seconds if he followed me.
