One hour on the sofa

Andy Warhol's first film (made in 1963) was call 'Blow Job', and consisted of a shot of Tom Baker's face (not the Tom Baker who played Dr Who) while he was being, errrmmm, let's say fellated, for 43 minutes. In 1964 he made a film called Empire, which is a continuous shot of the Empire state building, which runs for 8 hours. In the last reel of the film, the lights are all turned off, and it's just black.

So, because I fancy myself as a bit of a pop artist at times I made a film called "One hour on the sofa with D and A". But, because I can't be bothered to sit and watch a film for one hour, which would be dull, and I suspect you wouldn't either, it's speeded up, to take 2 minutes (or so).
