Wind Will Carry Us: The Most Boring Movie EVER
The title says it all. I couldn't take this film. I rented one night with my parents. 30 minutes into it, I got up and walked off, bored out of my mind, there being no conflict AT ALL. I came back an hour later towards the end. My dad had gone to bed, put to sleep by boredom, and my mom was reading a magazine on the couch while it was going on. When the credits came up, neither of us knew what happened. And while we're on the topic of Middle-Eastern films, they all seem to be too subtle. I recently saw Kandahar , and found that there was no resolution in this one either.

You won't get a lot of support. You find LOTR boring yet Woody Allen is your favorite filmmaker?
You and I could have some arguments Rocketman....(with all due respect)

Allen does have depth-but how deep is he? I admit I'm not qualified to say, but just from the three I saw, (particularly Aphrodite) I know that the "woodman" is very well versed in cinematic storytelling, and I sensed a twisted level of sarcasm that is aimed at someone but I don't know who.
This irritates me, because I am always an active participant in film dissemination, & Alllen's work seems to involve a lot of quasi-bourgeois hen-pecking that I have no interest in watching.
What are the three you saw?
A Boring Movie and A Bad Movie
Intriguing. There actually might be a distinction to be made here. Some people like Westerns whereas other people like Comedy Romances. Can a good Western be boring? Or can a good comedy romance be boring?
Any good opera I might find boring because I can't identify with it and have problems relating to the singing and supertitles while watching a life production.
However, what about a really great, superb movie that captures my imagination and explodes or exudes off the screen inspiring and teasing my curiousity regardless of my personal interest, what can one say about such a film or motion picture - that it is spectacular and brilliant?
