Movie Marathon 2007

Okay, consider this your invitation to this year’s twenty-four hour movie marathon. For the record, there are no personal invitations being extended. I am personally inviting no one, but impersonally inviting everyone. Make sense? Good. With the exception of Anonymous in Texas, I know everyone who stops by here, and if I know you, you're invited. If I don't know you, you're probably still invited, but maybe we should have a couple of dates on messenger first. We can brb, and lol, maybe even fotfl; it'll be good times.

Step one for Movie Marathon registration: let me know that you want to come, either in the comments or in a private e-mail. This shindig will be held on a Saturday in January, and that date depends on everyone's overall availability. So, let me know you're coming, and let me know which weekends in January are best for you.

Movie nerdery is at your doorstep.

Sign me up. I'm going to plan better this time, so I can try to do the whole event.

I even have movie idea suggestions, like Shaun of the Dead and the South Park and/or Beavis and Butthead movies.

So far, any weekend in January works.

I would like to place my vote for the 2nd weekend (Jan 13, I think).

Jan 6 is a 15 hour class for us.

If it comes down to it, though, I will skip it.

I am going to do my level best to be there, Dave. I want to meet everyone!!

The weekends of the 13th or 20th work best for me so far.

(And holy CRAP - plane tickets to your land are expensive. There had better be some freaking awesome movies shown. ;-) )

Dave - I'm in... and flexible, as you well know. my recommendations include Dead Alive (with the famous zombie/lawnmower fight scene), Highway 61 (I think it was 61, all I remember is that there was a guy with a lazy eye in it) and a japanese documentary featuring me and a large number of moose.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.

A complex phrase, in which the various parts are enchained

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found.
