Since it will likely be a late night showing though, the restaurants will be closed won't they?

If it screens late, yea, our choices will be limited to Tee Jaye's (I think they're still 24 hours, right?) or Denny's, I guess?

Tee Jaye's is indeed still 24 hours, and there's one not too far away on the East Side that I always forget about.

Dont' have a Denny's anymore, unless the new one coming to Olentangy Blvd is open. Google seems to think they're still "coming soon" but the Denny's website says "open now." If I place the location, it's probably the new restaurant inside the Fairfield Inn and Suites.

Maybe I'll do a drive-by in the next week and find out.

For the 30th extravaganza, (Murph's undoubtedly right on the numbering) I would like to see:

Mr. Nobody (2009)
Looper (2012)
Prometheus (2012)
Oblivion (2013)
FAQ About Time Travel (2009)
The Signal (2014)
The Last Man on Earth (1964)
Twelve Monkeys (1995)
Inception (2010)
The Fifth Element (1997)
War of the Worlds (2005)
War of the Worlds (1953)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Gattaca (1997)
Dark City (1998)
Moon (2009)

This assumes the event would run 36 hours as opposed to 24 in recognition of the 30th milestone.

Thought that I would throw in my 2 cents, just in case the 36 hour actually happens ( hope hope!!!!).

Ex Machina (2015)
Air (2015)
Pacific Rim (2013)
Attack the Block (2011)
Inception (2010)
Moon (2009)
Pitch Black (2000)
Frequency (2000)
Dark City (1998)
12 Monkeys (1995)
Predator (1987)
Brazil (1985)
Logan's Run (1976)
Dark Star (1974)
Last Man on Earth (1964)
Forbidden Planet (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
War of the Worlds (1953)

Thought that this is a good mix of pre 1980s, 1980s-2000s and newer films. Could easily replace a couple of films with possible premieres. Please give some feedback!

There are several in Murph's list that I either forgot about or had to really decide hard on. Frequency (2000) was such an enormous crowd pleaser the year we saw it - maybe the best premier we've ever seen in 30 years, so I would love it to be included.

Another thing is, my list is probably really pushing it, if there is going to be the costume contest, trailers, bathroom breaks, etc. There are so many outstanding films, it's really tough narrowing it down.

Forbidden Planet is another must-see if we're going to make the 30th special.

If there are any other people interested in having something special for next year's 30th Ohio marathon, don't make me be the only one to ask or inquire. Bruce and Jeff might already have something wonderful already in the planning stages. Let your voices be heard!!!!!! :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

Since we're getting near the much-discussed 30th Anniversary Marathon, figured this deserves a big BUMP!

...and no, I'm still not a Jeff. Yet.
