There's a movie about rechargeable batteries? That sounds exciting: 

Scientist 1: "I tend to recommend the use of rechargeable batteries
because it saves room in the land fill."
Scientist 2: "Of course one can't be too concerned about some
rechargeable technologies such as those using cadmium."
Scientist 3: "I agree, which is why I usually suggest nickel metal
hydride batteries."
Scientist 1: "That's an excellent point."
Scientist 2: "I wonder though about high drain applications."
Scientist 3: "I agree, there are potential issues to consider."
Scientist 2: "I recently read an article in Science about this,
maybe it was Nature. I'll see if I can pull it up on my wrist-based
holographical computer, give me a second."


An hour and forty minutes of this is more than I can take.
