Movie marathon related links
According to science, binge-watching TV shows is an indicator that you may be lonely, depressed, and lack self-regulation. That is weighty stuff indeed.
Clearly this is good news for movie marathons, which require discipline, pre-planning, and are an invitation to party with your friends!
Don’t let TV binge watching happen to you or your friends. Plan a movie marathon instead. It’ll add years to your life – as I’m sure a forthcoming study will prove shortly.
Do you think you can watch 17 Disney movies in 48 hours? Ralph Jones did it and documented the experience in this article on the website Hexjam. His write-ups are entertaining*, and I enjoyed the YouTube link that illustrated Disney animation scenes recycled in multiple movies. You notice these sorts of details when you watch similar movies back to back to back to back.
It looks like he indulged in the luxury of sleep during his Disney movie watching binge. Had he read one or two of my articles on planning a Disney movie marathon, he could have learned he could have watched 15-16 movies in a mere 24 hours (Disney movies are short), and that he should have stuck to the best of the Disney Animation Studios classics (he included High School Musical and Atlantis: The Lost Empire? Really?).
Just sayin’. Am I feeling a little snobbish today? Maybe.
*Ralph uses a lot of saucy language to express his thoughts on the movies. If that isn’t your thing, you should probably move along.
I just finished my movie marathon box sets page. My favorite available box set is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Phase 1) box set – complete with its own functioning Tesseract (your mileage and destructive power may vary)!
Is this really news? Nope. I’m just pleased with myself since it took a long time to get this page up and looking good. Bonus: I get a kickback every time you buy one of these box sets using the provided link. So this is a win-win between me and you.
So what are you waiting for? Fulfill your dream of owning a box with unlimited entertainment potential…while simultaneously fulfilling my dream of earning passive income.
The nice folks at CNet have put together an excellent infographic on the correct order to watch 19 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and TV shows. Because, really, if you don’t watch the storyline in the correct fictional chronological order, how could you possibly follow any of the plot?
It’d be like watching the Star Wars episodes IV-VI before I-III….oh wait. It’d be like reading the Bible out of order (don’t miss a single page of Leviticus and its dietary rules action!)…oh wait. It’d be like watching The Matrix: Revolutions before The Matrix… actually that would be quite bad. Don’t do that.
Anyway, enjoy nerding out on this infographic. I know I did!
Maltin on Movies is a great new podcast perfect for anyone on the lookout for new, fantastic movies from the past or present. Having just listened to several episodes while caring for my infant daughter in the middle of the night – I can say it is fun and informative to listen to (and I’m thankful I had it!).
This show is only just starting out (it seems to have started in November of 2014), but nails it for me on several key points:
This show is part of a gaggle of start-up podcasts from a company named Wolfpop. Check it out if you get a chance!
