I think, while intending no offense, that the obit piece can be much shorter in the future. I believe this year it was 21 mins.
Just a thought, and only my own.
 
Dinner break? What's a dinner break?

If we ever have to do another virtual 'Thon I would suggest (plea, beg) that a way is found to to stream all the content live, so everyone participating is experiencing the same material at the same time. And that a second element of social media is present for comments and discussions in real time among the tribe. I couldn't tell you what apps would provide what, but it doesn't seem like that big a reach in these modern technological times.

i have noticed the evolution of the obit piece. it used to be just stills and music? mostly stills with a spurious handful of clips.
there used to be cinematographers, producers, special effects techs all of whom have probably won academy awards but nobody knows who the hell they are other than the occasional ray haryhausen or roger corman caliber. so that got dumped and i'm glad.
i like a good lengthy obit with long clips of classic iconic scenes from an actors career. some would deserve 2 or 3 clips (william shatner). i would keep a close eye on all star trek and star wars major and minor characters.
i have no problem with a 20 minute or 30 minute obit loop.
p.s. william shatner is not dead.

at the risk of going off topic: are you implying that the thread has gone off topic?

I liked being able to watch the movies out of order because we both could not get out of having to work the next day, so we were able to watch the movies that we were most interested in.   

We did miss being part of a large audience, but I don't think that any virtual medium is going to be able to capture that feeling.  Just having comments scrolling at the side of a movie would be an annoying nightmare.  I would be looking for a way to turn that off immediately.

Personally, I like the long in memorium.  It helps to get you in the mood for the thon before the thon begins.
