I can't. I gave it 55 minutes before turning it off and watching 3 episodes of GoT. It wasn't bad -- it was more interesting and delectable than most old movies, the kind of world classic I could say I like -- but it just didn't get my attention. I'm getting quite impatient with old movies, and getting prouder of that fact. You might say that in other words, I'm getting older, stuck in my ways, closed to new styles, irritable.
I'm not writing off 8 1/2. In fact, beyond its originality in its time, it seems to have the potential to engage modern viewers like myself. It seems like it could be an enjoyable movie. It's just that I've spent my old movie patience tokens, and winter is coming 👀
