I’ve got two movies I want to watch together, and my good friend has suggested a third, so now all I need to do is set up a time to do it (which is, of course, the hard part).

How to have a movie marathon
It made me
Faaaabulous.
 "Drag Queen movie marathon."
How I did it: Okay, so it was only two movies, but it was themed, so that's all that matters. Only they didn't have the movies we were looking for at Blockbuster. We even asked them at the counter to look them up for us. It went sort of like this: "Do you have The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert?" "Ummm... Let me look. Um... Priscilla, how do you spell that? No, we don't have that." "Darn. How about Kinky Boots?" "Ummm, heh... Kinky Boots?" "It's not what you think." Lessons & tips: Quantity doesn't matter, only quality. |

It made me
Heeheehee
How I did it: My sister and I used to look at all the showings of whatever we wanted to see at a given theater, and then plan out a route, and then go see 12 hours of movies in one go. Exhausting, but stupid fun, just for the ridiculousness of it.Conversely, we'd sit down on our couch with a pile of, say Aliens or Lethal Weapons movies and have a themed marathon. Read how I did it…

Lots of movies...
5 months ago
Last night, with my boyfriend, watched:
- Jumanji (his DVD)
- Mrs Doubtfire (my DVD)
- Batman Forever (his DVD)
I was getting really tired, I think we started watching them a bit late… but I managed to stay awake to watch them all (drinking some glasses of water helped). That’s 3 movies in a row.
Also today we watched (both his DVDs):
- Batman
- Batman Returns
We were both tired and didn’t want to watch any more than that in a row again though, and then he went home too.
All the movies were good. Mrs Doubtfire I’ve seen quite a lot of times (it’s one of my favourites!), but I hadn’t seen the others. I wouldn’t want to sit through lots in a row all the time, but it was worth doing… despite being tired.

2 movies in a row before, (and I’ve watched several episodes of a TV show in a row), but maybe it’d need to be at least 3 to be a movie marathon…
Dead By Your Hands is minding her own business and quite frankly, so should you!

I would not be able to wrangle in enough friends all at once for this to be fun.
When UNI is less hectic for everyone, I’ll think about doing it.

Done, With A Few Hiccups
16 months ago
We did our movie marathon yesterday, and it went over very well. Most people liked Yojimbo the best, one of us preferred A Fistful of Dollars, and even though we all liked Last Man Standing it was definitely the weaker of the three. But it almost didn’t happen, because my friend who was supposed to bring his copy of Yojimbo cancelled on me an hour before everyone showed up. Luckily the local movie store had a copy left on the shelf, so I ran over as quickly as I could and picked it up. Also, while I was making spaghetti two more people cancelled, so we had WAY too much spaghetti. But then again, you can’t really ever have too much spaghetti, can you?
So despite a few hiccups, it was a big success. Everyone enjoyed it and a couple of people suggested we should do it again some time. I just have to think of another good theme, though.

The Program

Having it on Friday, July 4, which is not technically a holiday for me because I’m Canadian. But having a movie marathon is kind of like a party, right?
Anyhow, we’re watching 3 movies, sharing a common theme:Can you figure out the connection?
