Bleedin Brakes R Fun

This is the progress i've made after pumping my brakes for about 45 minutes. I'm not even noticeably making progress, and its pissing me off. I Installed the pads, attatched the lines to the new calipers (washer-banjo-washer), mounted the calipers attatched the lines to the master cylinder (washer-banjo-washer-banjo-washer). If i missed something please elaborate.

I tightened the bleeders, and proceded to fill the res. with fluid. Pump pump pump, pump pump pump, release bleeder. Nothing. Pump pump pump pump pump pump with the bleeder open.... nothing. Eventually i started to get some fuild down there, but im not getting any resistance at all from the lever, and it seems like this is taking FOREVER.

Before i head back out there i just wanted to make sure that this is supposed to be the the most tedious thing i've ever done on my bike and i'm not missing something.
