Movie Marathon 2009 (Held in 2008)

So we're holding next year's Movie Marathon this year, and we're doing this because, after Humpy arrives, staying up for twenty-four hours straight will probably be less of a novelty. It also means (ideally) that we'll have to shovel the driveway eighty-seven less times than last year.

This year's hootenanny is being held on November 15th, starting at 10am sharp. After much deliberation (more this year than any other) here is the night's lineup:

10:00 Death Race 2000
11:45 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
2:10 Lifeboat
4:00 The Iron Giant
5:40 Glengarry Glen Ross
8:20 Hard Core Logo
10:05 The Oh in Ohio
11:44 Dolemite
2:30 The Mist
4:50 Audition
7:00 Tremors
8:51 Delirious

Movies that were really strongly considered but didn't quite make it: Commando, City of God, 300, Zoolander, Boondock Saints, Beverly Hills Cop, and The Dark Crystal. Maybe next year, fellas.

After falling short last year, consider the unofficial title of this year's event to be Sleep Is The Enemy. This year, when I am thirsty, I will drink only espresso. And when I am hungry, I will eat only espresso. I will conquer sleep. Possibly forever.

Probably the same deal as last year. I'll Twitter, Jorge will blog, AV component to be posted the next day. We've got a third blogger in Rebecca, so that might throw something new into the mix. But that said, she might be forced to spend her free time doing NaNoWriMo, so...

I like how you assume I will blog this thing.

Have you been to my blog lately? I swear to God it's full of tumbleweeds and house centipedes.

Actually, I will be blogging, only because I can't say no to Dave. For anything.

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. Menstruation: the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from pu...
