Lord of the Rings Marathon
Well, we finally did it after talking about it for about a year now. A couple friends came over last Sat. and we started watching Lord of the Rings Extended Versions at about 4:00 p.m. and went until we finished them all (approx. 5:00 a.m.). My wife was out of town and my daughter stayed at her friends, so we cranked it up. We watched it in DTS-ES and it sounded awesome. It started to become painful keeping the eyes open at about 3:00 a.m. but we had to endure. The worst thing was that I had to pick up my daughter at 7:30 in the morning. The food and friends were great- it's just too bad it took me 3 days to recover!
Side note...if you ever decide to do this, I recommend you don't get the "Great American Feast" from famous Dave's. All of that barbeque food and beans made it tough to make it in an enclosed area with a group of guys:)
Next marathon- Karate Kid! Just kidding.
Have a great weekend.
The big difference being that;

The LOTR trilogy were actually GOOD movies. I shudder to think of what a day of Jar-Jar Binks & co. would do to my sanity...
crazy roomates and friends.
earlier this summer, some of my buds did all four seasons of smallville. i had to study and couldn't join in and i'm glad of it. by season 3, they ran out of beer and food, but they eventually made it all the way through. 6 started and 3 finished.
fyi 4 seasons about 22 episodes per season at about 45 minutes per equaled:
66hrs or 2days and 18hrs. so when i had them over for the extended LOTR marathon a few weeks later, at about 11 or 12 hours, they laughed at me. that was plenty for me though.
