Marshall and the Movies

I hate being able to see how much time is left or has surpassed while watching a movie.  I think it detracts from the experience because it allows you to predict when something will happen or if it will happen.  Plus, you constantly look up at the clock rather than watch the movie.  However, I believe that a truly good movie can suck you in to a point where time is irrelevant because you are swirling in its vortex.  I doubt that metaphor made any sense, but I hope you get the picture.
