Klaatu Barada Ohio!

Looks amazing. Can't wait.

Looks good, I am glad you didn't try to end the 'thon with IRON MAN, it's a good movie but won't be a strong closer for another 10 years or so. Also glad to see you added THE GIANT GILA MONSTER we needed another "classic" film. See You All in a few days!!

Looks amazing! A couple interesting schedule choices. I expected Buckaroo Banzai to be last but I guess Troll Hunter is a good way to keep people there until the end. Wanted the Star Wars doc to be around dinner so I could skip it, but I might be pleasantly surprised. Also glad to see the addition of the Giant Gila Monster. Can't wait!!!

Oh good lord The Giant Gila Monster? I prefer Late for Dinner over any movie that was feature on Mystery Science Theater 3000. About 90% of the movies that was feature on MST3K are not classics. The movie rated three stars out of ten on IMDB. Well since its being a public domain movie it was easy to get.

If the schedule falls behind IMO dropped Gila Monster.

Scheduling Troll Hunter at the end is a good way to retain the audience.

I can doze during Planet of the Vampires.

12:30AM is a good time for the George Lucas bitch a thon.

Thank you for scheduling Endhiran at 1:50PM. Very smart.

I like the lineup. . .start with a classic. . .end with a premiere. Nicely done!! Love that War of the Worlds is first. I've been really looking forward to seeing that one on the big screen!

Hmm, a little bummed to see Troll Hunter is last, but I'm usually pretty good at being awake for the last movie, so I should be able to enjoy it.

I'm really liking the first 3 movies of this year's marathon though. Should be a solid start!

"Planet of the Vampires" at 4:40 AM ??? It's one of the films I'm really looking forward to seeing, so I fear my old bones may not make it to see it.

I'm sorry to complain. The list is a nice diverse mix of classics and premieres that looks like it will be a load of fun. Many thanks to Bruce and Jeff for keeping the Marathon running. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated!

Live Long and Prosper and May the Force be With You. (God, I am sooooo old)

Looks like I'll be having a "Late Dinner" at 10pm. and I also REALLY wish "Planet of The Vampires" was not screening in the dead zone. But I'll be there ready to blast off and enjoy the ride! See you guys soon!

Is it possible to screen The Giant Gila Monster at 4:40AM? Then put Planet of the Vampires at 8:50AM?

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
