Price: I have no issue with the price. As has already been noted here, it breaks down to about $2.18 a movie, and combined with the general Marathon experience, it is a very reasonable price.
Food: This is the biggest issue I have. I have stopped drinking pop, so the drink options were limited. I am not a coffee drinker, and beer is too expensive. More juice options, or sweet tea, fruit punch, etc.. would be nice. Outside of a popcorn, I went out to the car to eat food I brought with. I really miss the cafe.
Films:
2001 - I LOVE this movie! For most people, Kubrick films are a love/hate thing: you either really love them, or you can't understand and hate them. I definitely am in the former category! It looked beautiful, and having the overture and intermission as well just made it even better!
Danger 5 - I thought this was definitely on par with Stingray Sam, which I also loved! I was kinda disappointed we had to leave out the last two episodes, but since they're online, I will definitely watch them! And remember, Kill Hitler!!
Time of the Robots - I was VERY skeptical about this one, as it had a high potential for early sleep induction, but alas, apart from two very quick head nods, I stayed awake through this one. It was WAAAAY better than Electroma, but that isn't saying much. The music was pretty bad, and the pace slow, but it could've been worse. And later on, it did get worse...
Safety Not Guaranteed - This year's surprise hit for me, I truly loved everything about this film. The acting was well done, the script was great, and the payoff was spot on. I was really glad that the rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it as well, can't wait to see what next year's surprise hit will be!
Inception - I own it, have seen it several times, and it was great seeing with the Marathon crowd. It actually seemed, judging by audience reaction throughout the film and especially at the end of the film, that most people hadn't seen this one. I loved hearing collective audience reactions throughout, great choice with this one!
The Ship of Monsters - ...and here is where it got worse. I, like most people, had become excited with anticipation to see what our surprise would be. As has been mentioned here in the reviews, I thought after 15 minutes or so that Bruce would say "just kidding, the surprise feature is...". However, after 30 minutes, I knew that wasn't happening. I had actually stayed awake the entire time thus far, longer than I have ever made it, and felt that I would be able to keep it going the rest of the way, but this movie killed that notion. Spanish movie, no subtitles, and just weird story = sleep time..
Vanishing Waves - I had awoken after Ship of Monsters as I really wanted to see this movie. However, Once the sleep had crept in, it couldn't be stopped. I saw the first ten minutes or so, then awoke for the end of the film. I hope to find this somewhere, because I really think I would enjoy it.
Dr. Cyclops - Zzzzzzz
Upside Down - I was once again awake, because I wanted to see this one as well. Again, I caught the beginning and end only. Even though most people here seemed to not like it, I would still like to catch the film sometime, as it looked like a promising movie.
Space Milkshake - I wish this had played earlier, as I think people would have enjoyed it. I dozed off here and there, but caught the majority of it, and thought it was unique and funny.
The Monolith Monsters - I was really glad to see this, as the lineup lacked movies from this era. Good, classic cheese, I lvoed this movie!
Dr. Strangelove - Another Kubrick classic, this move is one of the best all-time, and a great book-end with 2001. The script is top-notch, the timing, acting, imagery, I just cannot say enough!
Overall, I really enjoyed this marathon, and look forward to many many more!
