The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons :: View topic - OFFICIAL 2013 FILM LINEUP FOR THE SHOCK AROUND THE CLOCK!

Speaking of star crossed love affairs, we have one more film in the lineup for you. Today, we confirmed Park Chan-wook's brilliantly gonzo 2009 vampire epic THIRST as the final flick...in 35MM! We tried to book this as a premiere back in 2009, but to no avail. A certain Mr. Cozzolino and I saw it in L.A. four years ago, and we both highly recommend it. Check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj5xmmQj-lk

I saw Thirst and liked it, which are two great qualities for any addition at this point... Enjoyable watch but I can feel free to leave or sleep during it. It's gonna be hard to pick a sleep movie with this lineup!

Spoiler: show

was my favorite punk band back in the '80s.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I didn't post that link to jump on the Nic Cage sucks bandwagon! On the contrary, I agree he's a great actor... WHEN he's working with a great director. He's turned in some of the all-time great film performances.

The problem with Cage, and it's become more evident the longer his career has gotten, is that he has a tendency to turn it up to 11, ALL the time. He became a parody of himself after 10 performances like that. When he's got a director who's able to help him rein it in a bit, he can STILL put in a great performance (he was the single best thing about Kick-Ass, for example, in my opinion), but left to his own devices, I think he's going to take any performance over the top.

At least, that's my theory about Cage. Who knows, maybe most of the directors he's worked with told him, "give me More, Nic, I need MORE! No, EVEN MORE!!"

Excellent film. I have seen it, but only on DVD. Viewing it on the big screen should be quite an experience.

REALLY looking forward to next weekend. I've checked out lineups for other horror marathons throughout the country, and I have to say this year' s Columbus marathon tops anything out there I've yet come across. You all have really gone above and beyond.

There are two 35mm cuts of Thirst. The original 133min and the 145min director's cut. What version did you booked? Come on now who wouldn't stand in line to see Amityville Horror II?

It's gonna be hard to pick a sleep movie with this lineup! Spoiler: show I do remember that this movie seemed to be going to great lengths to avoid showing male genitalia, and then BOOM...3/4 of the way in, wang outta nowhere.

I am sure there will be "wrap up" posts coming soon, but just wanted to say many, many thanks once again to the Drexel staff and the entire marathon planning crew for this year's great lineup. Due to some back problems, I had to leave before the last two features (and I hated to miss out - I especially wanted to see Q), but as always, I had a lot of fun and appreciated the opportunity to see some classic films, as well as a couple of more recent films, in a theater and with horror fans who were just as enthusiastic as I was. And great to see Argento in the hall of fame! -Stephen

I think this will help explain Nicolas Cage's odd acting technique: http://mobile.omg-facts.com/lists/407/7 ... las-Cage/3
