Mr Eugenides has located this frankly superb review* of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. It sums up perfectly why this film killed the whole franchise (that I previously thought was quite diverting) for me. And also why Star Wars: The Phantom Menace remains the only film I have ever fallen asleep watching. In the cinema, anyway. Yep, Transformers was, without doubt, a shitter movie, but at least it was loud and bright. Which, if nothing else, kept me awake (and made me want to drink a lot of whisky after the end credits rolled). Star Wars: The Phantom Menace just reminded me that when you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back at you.
*The fact that it is done in the manner of some sort of violent serial killer doesn't negate the validity of the points raised. That much...

You've only slept through one film? Try 'No Country For Old Men.' I'm a Coen brothers fan with insomnia (not a joke) and I was out cold after an hour.
That review is something different. Pure and utter genius. I just love the conviction the actress puts in the basement scene.
Dear God I hope that was an actress and that it was a scene...
