i've recently learned to utilize the settings on video lan client. it turns out, if you set the video to play at 3x the normal speed, normally long and boring drawn out movies that are nonetheless considered 'classics' and have created a good amount of cultural influence are made much more watchable. i knocked out the night of the living dead in less than 40 mins... and i still managed to catch every piece of dialogue and action. from there on i went looking for more movies that work well sped up. right now i'm watching falling down starring michael douglas in 3x speed. i am very pleased with the results so far.
