This xkcd comic reminds me of an evening a few weeks ago.

Except that the OS was Mac OS X (which doesn't give you the tools to save your date) and I ended up moving the mouse every 5 minutes for the duration of the movie.

Later I found out that Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen save option in Security preferences caused the screen saver to come up even when a DVD was playing.
