That is probably NOT the final schedule.  Garen gets the last word about order and he invariably makes a change or two.

 

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

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

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!


Oh sure make fun of the old marathoid who likes to go out and make sure the real world still exists during the marathon. (not sure why since I am retired now)

Likely its NOT a final schedule, I'm just going on how it's listed currently.
 

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

The BAFTA Awards were yesterday in England. ATTACK THE BLOCK did not win for best British newcommer. It went to TYRANNOSAUR for director/actor Paddy Considine. No, it's not a dinosaur pic! THE ARTIST won a bunch of awards, HUGO & HARRY POTTER won one each, and Almodovar's kinky horror film THE SKIN I LIVE IN won the Foreign Language award.

The main site reports that Folklore has been added onto the thon.  Another movie?  Wow!  It would appear that we will be running a bit over 24 hours.  I hope the breaks aren't too tight.....

As for Folklore, who can say?

For any of you who don't want to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes because you just saw it...get your iPods ready...

Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Riff Trax!
Quote:
For many of us, the last time we uttered the title “Planet of the Apes” was when we were angrily demanding from a teenage usher “I’ll ask you one more time: Are you going to give me a refund for Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes, or am I going to have to take another finger?” However, at that time, nobody could have foreseen the Ape Boom of the aught’s. It was spurred on by the box office dominance of a trilogy that made the LOTR movies look like one excruciatingly long version of Carrot Top’s Chairman of the Board: MVP: Most Valuable Primate, MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate, and MXP: Most Xtreme Primate. Fortunately, Tim Burton has resisted to urge to “reimagine” any of these classics, though he has expressed interest in making a worthless version of My Gym Partner’s a Monkey.

Anyways, the Ape Boom® culminated in yet another Planet of the Apes movie that nobody really asked for or cared about. But when the movie came out, it proved what we once overheard our dad saying to our mom on Christmas Eve: “Set their expectations really, really low, then they’ll be delighted when they get a Man-E-Faces toy where two of the faces don’t work. Dammit, we’re out of beer already??”

So, while we kid, Rise of the Planet of the Apes more than delivers on its non-existent expectations, giving audiences what they want: Apes (Yes!), Apes, (Yes!!) and more Apes (Yes!!!!) and James Franco (Wait, what?). Andy Serkis is also along for the ride, playing the role of “Guy who will probably get awarded an honorary Oscar in about thirty years and be really self righteous about it.”

I remember those guys being funnier.  This was almost painful.  Although it was like being at the marathon.  A lot of snarky comments most of which fall flat..... Heard Knock from the son?  Really?

There's a really neat point in the Thon where you realize that you've just watched 6 or 7 movies, and things are only getting started!
