One of the Hobbit films - can't remember which one: Unexpected Journey, I think.

70 minutes in, and I was on the ropes and everything turned to darkness.

Couldn't stand any of the Hobbit films quite frankly, but that's for a different thread.

In the theater, only once: "The Wild Bunch," of all movies! But I had the flu, and felt awful, and I'd given in to group pressure from my friends to go to the movies. Young and slightly stupid.
In front of the TV? Just about every night.

Many, many times.

In the theater? No.

At home? All the time.

Try watching The 6th Day. You'll fall asleep during that, guaranteed! Batman & Robin, too.

In a theater I fell asleep during "2001, A Space Odyssey". At the drive in theater as a kid -- many times

That is how I fall asleep almost every night. Great thing about Netflix...so easy to pick up where you left off.

I used to hate it when that would happen in the theatres. The auditorium would empty after a show and a guy (invariably) would still be there sitting. It would freak out the staff because there was always the possibility that he was dead. Waking a sleeper was also a dangerous task, since you never knew if they would strike out at someone near them. I just had to stand out of the line of fire to the side and try to wake them with a gentle but increasingly loud voice. "The movie is over. The movie is over."

What was a real bear was when the projectionist fell asleep. Like the scene in "The Muppet Movie", da flim go flippdy flippdy and people start yelling or tossing popcorn.
