Aaron's All-Night Movie Marathon

[Zombie Kermit]

I think I knocked out seasons of Community, Scrubs, Modern Family and Degrassi (yes, I know... I'm a sucker) in separate 24 hour periods. Also a season of Smallville back in the days I was really into it.

I think I have done it with The Office before, but I agree, that brand of humour can get a bit much.

The thing is, I never really plan to do it... I would much rather have some for later. It's just that I get sucked in easily.

Heck, a few months back I got three seasons of Supernatural on Blu-Ray that I hadn't seen. That was a filled up few days.

I loved the articles, so much I registered to post a reply. Back in 2003 Netflix sponsored an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for continuous movie watching. I was one of 20 to try, and 11 to succeed. 66 1/2 hours straight in the Good Morning America Studios in Times Square. It was long, arduous, and boring, but I got free Netflix for life. Part of what made it so hard was how familiar I was with most of the movies. I wrote up a long article about it a few days later and never edited it, so it's pretty raw but entertaining. Let me know if you want to hear what my experience was like.

Wow. I'm already interested.

Also, welcome to the fold. I'm glad my person movie marathon brought you on over to HDD.

This reminds me of the early to mid-70's when drive-in theaters (remember them?) featured 'Dusk-To-Dawn' marathons where they showed 4 to 5 similarly-themed flicks back to back on long weekends....sigh, those were the days, my friend

My wife just happens to be going out of town this weekend.
The last time I sat in front of my TV for 24 hours straight was last June, watching the 24 hours of Le Mans. I did it by drinking a ton of coffee. I'm happy to say that this year I'll be seeing it in person for the first time!

Wow. Car racing for 24 hours? I'm sure I couldn't do that.

Aaron, y'know as much as you had with your marathon, for ultimate tiredness nothing beats working 3rd shift!

Midway Drive In near my home town still does this a few times a year. Usually every sunday night before Memorial Day and Labor day and sometimes a couple more times.

I haven't been to it since high school though (mid 90s). The cops used to just let all of us underage kids drink in there without hassling us but if you tried to leave that night or the next morning the person driving the car had better be stone sober because they checked pretty much every car leaving.

Great job on the marathon, I don't think I could have done it. I stayed up for about 36 hours straight back in the day, but we stopped with movies at about midnight and had to switch to video games to keep our minds limber, plus there were three of us.
