There was a Star Wars marathon in the lobby of my dorm that I went to for kicks. It was full of ultra-dorks that came with their lightsabers and said most of Darth Vader's lines with him. That was incredibly cute. They even lightsaber battled a few times. I sat in the back and watched them go! I'm always game for being the audience. But anyway, yeah, I stuck around and watched them all. It was only the original trilogy, though. I'm very unimpressive. But I don't think Episode III was even out yet.
I've watched my share of Buffy in a row, but nothing I would call a marathon. I did play Silent Hill 2 and 3 back-to-back one day, but at that point I could finish both in a second and a half. Not very impressive either. Imma eat a cookie anyway.
I did a Dresden Files marathon of sorts, buying and reading the first nine books in the space of three days. So very worth it.![]()
Marathoned <i>Firefly/Serenity</i> with some of my friends. An overdose of Whedon and Chinese food is really a good idea for any occasion!
I tried to marathon a season (two?) of <i>Buffy</i> with another friend, but we only got like, 10 hours into it.
Marathoned all of <i>The Long Way Round</i>, which was awesome.
Oh, and I tried to marathon all of <i>The 10th Kingdom</i> but we never got around to the last VHS.
Marathons are just win at life.
LoTR Extended. Also Dexter first season if you count "marathons" with sleep breaks and stuff.
I did the LoTR marathon, though I don't think it's the extended edition. The longest I ever played a video game was like 23 hours, with no rest breaks. Occasionally I got some water, but that was it. I do believe I was 9 or 10 and I was playing FF VII. I managed to do the whole second disc iirc
You're all weirdos. I could never sit through more than about 3 hours of anything without getting bored to the point of suicide. Probably why it took me a year to finish FFIX and X, and I still haven't finished FFXII. I haven't managed to finish the third LotR film either
there was a picture here
Before my mom was caught up on Lost and Battlestar Galactica, we would sit down on a weekend after the DVD's came out and watch an entire season in 2 days. Usually with fewer episodes to watch on the second day than the first.
That would actually make you the weirdo, if you're the only one here who hasn't at least tried a marathon.
Attempted Lord of the Rings a while ago with friends, but my friends suck and got bored before Fellowship was even halfway done. Also did the first three Star Wars films with my ex, never got around to the final three.
My friend and I spent about a bajillion years watching the Star Wars saga in one go.
*reads thread*
Obviously a bad time for me to come in, then. :rolleyes2
