Latest marathon thread
 

Watched multiple episodes or movies in a series recently? Post about it here and how it went. Even if it's a TV DVD that you watched all the eps in one sitting, that still counts.

My most recent was getting up to speed on the entire series of Fringe, but that was months ago. It's an entertaining show, but it became increasingly apparent that they weren't all that sure where to go with the story.

Oh, and I also watched the first twenty or so eps of Jackie Chan Adventures on Netflix w/ my nephew over the Christmas holidays. There were a few in there that I don't think I had seen before. But, that show really was poorly titled. It should have been "The JADE Chan Adventures (featuring Jackie)". :P

I think my last one was the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy in early January.

Early January I saw all of the Rocky movies over two days. I had Stallone overload by Rocky V.

I've had a few HBO series marathons in the last month and a half:
Boardwalk Empire S1
The Pacific
John From Cincinnati

and got the GF started on The Wire, so I've seen two seasons of that in three weeks. Which is great on all counts. And she's talking about re-watching Lost now too.

I watched a whole bunch of the Bixby/Ferrigno Hulk. (Thanks, gobo) Then I tracked down some Ferrigno flicks...seems like a nice guy.

Thanks to Blockbuster Online, I've resumed a marathon of Martin. I have Netflix and started it back in February last year, then stopped in August where I finished the third season, and Netflix has since had the fourth season on hold for some reason or the other. So that's why I'm taking advantage of Blockbuster Online.

Netflix has Heroes available for instant viewing, and I started on it in late November last year, but haven't watched since December, and I left off after the tenth episode of the first season. The story seems to just drag on, and a good number of people I know said they lost interest because of that. So I'm wondering if I should even bother to continue.

Unless you really like soap operas with superpowers, I suggest you get out now. The show was finally cancelled, and ended at a fitting point, but the pretentious melodrama is a little much... frequently.

I kind of still want to see what else develops, but I'll definitely bail if things get to be too much for me.

Oh man, Heroes gets seriously bad. :P I forced myself through Season Two and then into Season Three before my love of superheroes was trumped by my hatred of poor writing. The show just never seems to have a plan, and in interviews the creator was trying to pass that off as the show's style. I found it offensive that he'd say he was writing it like comic books. He should have said really bad comic books.

It had a few great episodes (Bryan Fuller was usually the writer), but it never failed to drop the ball on its best plot twists IMO. There was always a lot of build-up that went nowhere or just back to where it started. I got bored of the cheerleader fast.

I watched the Death Note anime start to finish on Super Bowl sunday. I'm not a sports fan so I spent the day watching that.

All I've wanted to watch lately is Rocko's Modern Life. Man, that show was dirty. God bless the nineties.

Gaze into my nipples of the future!

Totally. Watching Martin again reminded me of just how great that decade was. Even Doogie Howser, M.D., when I was renting those DVDs.

Telly show-wise, last marathon I had was the latest series of Doctor Who, which I got for christmas. Before that it was Berry & Fulcher's Snuff Box. For the third time.

Movie-wise I had a Tarantino overdose* when Inglorious Basterds came out on DVD.



*Pfft, as I could ever overdose on 'tino!

Around 1998, I watched the entire tv mini-series "The Stand" in one sitting. The next closest marathon for me would be last year when I watched the entire "new" "Doctor Who" series in about two months.
