Latest marathon thread

[Machias Banshee]

Currently marathon-ing through Top Gear (the British version). Very fun stuff for car-obsessed people with a strange sense of humor... I just adore the three co-hosts.

Still working on the Frieza Saga. We complain about the 4 clip shows in the 3 different TMNT series. There are episodes of DBZ I've watched that are almost mini clip shows. I'm watching Mighty Blast of Rage and it rehashed how Krillin died and Goku went Super Saiyan...again. Seriously, it was what 5 episodes ago...

[Jester]

Now on the Trunks saga, which feeds into the Cell saga, looking at entries on the DB wiki, I am kinda worried, these saga seem to stretch out way too long. At least Mecha-Frieza goes down in like what, an episode. It's kinda funny that he needs his Daddy to help him.

Maybe I ought to catch the Kai episodes, but I've heard the edits are kinda silly, like Blue Popo.

Anyone ever done a personal marathon of Spider-Man:The Animated Series that ran for five seasons in the 1990s'? I went through it in a week between Christmas and New Years all 65 episods off of Netflix. Any opinions?

[Jester]

I'll get there. I'm going through all of my personal DVDs at home and at work I'm watching DBZ. Eventually I'll get to Spider-man, X-men, and other 90's cartoons.

[MikeandRaph87]

It sounds like yor going chronological by when series aired. If I am not mistaken Dragonball's three series started around 1989. Spider-Man started in 1992 the same time X-Men did. Watching marathon after marathon would make my head spin. Watching episodes a day for eight days was a little much. I guess I need to work on pacing!

[Jester]

Not really, I have been watching DBZ abridged, but never watched much of the "unabridged" stuff... so I'm watching it to see what all the fuss is about.

I hear you. I remember being in middle school and while I was apart of the Pok'emon craze a lot also really were into DBZ that was going through its original U.S. airings at the time. Never could get into it but my sibling has all the DVDS of DB,DBZ, and DBGT. If there is anything Jester says is "must see" I may cave after 13 years. I have a bad movie taste myself having seen The Towering Inferno,Cannonball II, and Murder By Death in last couple of weeks.So if Jester thinks its worthy of my attention after years of shrugging my shoulders you never know...

Terror of Tiny Town (which is viewable on Youtube, for free) and Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe are 2 of my all-time favorite lousy movies!

Ever seen the Lost Skeleton movies? They are great spoofs of 50's schlock.

Hey Jestee, wait til u get to the "Boo Saga" it's another long one

[Jester]

All of them are long, my dear Canuckle-head.

There's a new nick-name. You're avatar could be a Knuckle Head with a Canadian flag over it.

EDIT: Both Goku and Vegeta have used the Dune line "The sleeper has awakened." Man...cheesy. Maybe it's because I don't care for the Kyle MacLachlan Dune flick.

I have not heard of the two you listed but ironically enough The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is in my Netflix queue! Talk about the odds.

I have only seen a few of those type of movies that you and the TMNT love so like Santa Conquers The Martians(title is misleading),The Blob(Steve McQueen and Aneta "Hellen Crump" Corseaunt), The Fly(original, you can guess why), Invasion of The Body Snatchers, The Raven(1963)-put Jack Nicholson on the map,and if it counts Young Frankenstein. I appreciate them for their chessy nature but care to take them in only in small doses.

[Jester]

7 (almost 8 ) episodes into the "Perfect Cell" saga and he's not even Perfect Cell yet... wait... now Android 18 has been absorbed... he's FINALLY "Perfect."

Why am I watching this again?

[Jester]

Working through the Cell Games arc (almost done). Hercule and his crew are really annoying me...

[Jester]

Triple Post Score!

Watching Free the Future, the last episode of the Cell Games saga.

Is it me or does Super Saiyan Future Trunks looks like Guile?

[Jester]

Watching Water Fight, in the Other World Tournament portion of the Great Saiyaman Saga.

Please tell me King Kai just called West Kai a "fast talking half-pint" and not what my ears think he said...?[/QUOTE]

I remember when it premiered on CN. All of the internet heard it that way.
