I just thought you may have missed that we had shown it. It was a LONG time ago. Keep the posts coming.

FRANKENSTEIN (1931)..... Never seen it on a big screen and have not seen it in years. If nothing else it'll make me get even more jokes next time I watch Young Frankenstein....

RE-ANIMATOR....... Bound to be fun with the marathoid crowd. Haven't seen it since the original release.

....

RE: FRANKENSTEIN - actually there isn't as much spoofed in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN from this, the 1932 original, as from BRIDE or SON.

RE: RE-ANIMATOR - Didn't you watch this at SF/16 in 1991 - some 5 years after it's "original release"?

Ut-oh somebody fell asleep or was out dining......

And you guys wonder why there ain't more people commenting here.
Looking back at the schedule I'd say most likely it was a late dinner that caused me to miss it.
It was preceded by Robojox and a talk with Stuart Gordon. Since i had not seen Robojox and was interested in hearing the guest I'd guess my group decided to take a very late meal.

Sounds right. Believe I have gone through worse moments where I imagine a movie played at the thon, sure of it in fact, only to check the schedules and find out that I was wrong.

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

Not since SF3 am I going to sit through more than 1 or 2 movies that I have never seen and a bunch that I have not seen in some time. I have not been this psyched over the thon in some time. Of course, it makes picking a nap time more difficult. I am hoping, purely for selfish reasons, that Frankenstein plays at the right time for a nap......

It's a pretty good list of films. I'm looking forward to seeing 'Paul' at the Thon; primarily to see the audience's reactions. I saw it before with several Sci Fi fans and we were all laughing at different in-jokes.

Thanks for chiming in Brendan - hope you continue to do so. I look forward to PAUL with this audience as well - it seems tailor made.

I am really looking forward to this too. I missed it on initial release and have avoided it on cable since it was announced. It seems to be the perfect thon movie.

Okay, now we're getting an indication of the order the films will be run in, time to make some plans.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes- Opening film, well guess I will be watching it again.
Brainstorm- Good placement, no prob with seeing it.
Endhiran- Looking forward to this, I estimate it'll be around 7pm when it ends.
War of the Satellites. Very short, just over an hour and since I have not seen it before.
Dimensions- which will make this my dinner break film. Apologies to the makers of the film. Timing is everything.
Attack the Block- should keep the crowd up.
Island of Lost Souls- worth staying awake for, definitely.
Scanners- missed this on my first posting. Likely the head explosion at the beginning will wake up everyone. After that who knows.
Frankenstein- after midnight? Tough sledding but may be fun.
Re-Animator- may still be awake for this.
Cowboy Bebop- almost 2 hrs long? I sense nap time.
Paul- really want to see this
Mission Galactica- will take it's toll of the survivors, but it is a rare film to see, in this form at least.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

One thing I'm curious about - how new is the print of Frankenstein? It's one of the movies that Universal has supposedly restored and struck new prints of for their 100th anniversary this year, but I suspect that we would have heard some mention of it if we were getting one of the new prints (although DtP may have more to say once the print is actually in his hands this week).

The restorations were just announced, so they probably aren't done yet. It's probably the same print that played at the Somerville around Halloween. Likely the previous restoration that was done about 1999. It looked pretty good then.

I wouldn't be so sure that's actual running order.

Dinner break? What's a dinner break?

I sure hope not, ending with Galactica would be lame.
And what's all this talk about "dinner breaks"? In 31 years I have never left the theater for any reason other than to go home!

personally i enjoy combining the simultanious pleasures of eating, watching science fiction movies and getting high on caffiene into one huge self indulgent seratonin rich extravaganza.
