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.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

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.
