Carving the time out of a week to “watch a movie” can take a bit of work for me. Finding the motivation to watch a movie in that time, rather than just winding up poking away at a bunch of things to perhaps be most left with worried thoughts about a “shortened attention span,” is a different challenge.
In going through the boxes of DVDs I recorded off Turner Classic Movies to make “disk image” backups, though, I did begin considering one title, then got around to watching it at last. It might not be “canonical” (although not that long ago I did manage to watch Singin’ in the Rain, which was entertaining even if I wondered about enjoying the non-musical parts more than its numbers, aware I haven’t had much engagement with “musicals”), but I was interested all the same in Captain Horatio Hornblower.
