Saturday .... no movie. Thank God.

A lot of good movies too, actually. They were all pretty good. Things We Lost in the Fire was easily my least favorite. I'm sure Dan in Real Life is going to be ok/good... and Saw 4.. You never know with those.

I watch too many movies. My record for most watched at theaters is Superbad (5 times)

Anybody else have stupid marathons like this?

10/24/2007 6:08:37 PM

how could you watch superbad 5 times in theatres? it was ok but man 2x would be more than enough

10/24/2007 6:10:42 PM

it was one of those movies that i saw with different friends .... I completely agree with your opinion though.

The 4th and 5th time was a bit much for me.

10/24/2007 6:14:22 PM

I saw four movies in one day at three different theatres.

10/24/2007 6:37:28 PM

YOU have alot of friends.
we wouldnt understand

10/24/2007 6:43:16 PM

i saw gone in 60 seconds i think 6 times at 3 or 4 different theaters

10/24/2007 6:48:38 PM

10/24/2007 6:50:19 PM

10/24/2007 7:01:45 PM

i watched howard sterns private parts 6 times in a day once

10/24/2007 7:07:58 PM

yeah, I thought Lars and the Real Girl was awesome.

10/24/2007 7:16:59 PM

how was the assassination of jesse james

10/24/2007 7:51:57 PM

Well, I never thought I would get a chance to legitimately share this story...

Back in high school, an acquaintance of mine saw the first X-men move on opening weekend. As could be expected from what I assume was an X-men fanboy, he saw it as soon as he possibly could, which in Boone meant that he watched it at noon on Friday. Ok, I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I get that. But, he then proceeded to watch it three more times that day.

He watched the original X-men four times on opening day. I mean, wow, the movie wasn't even that good, and he enjoyed it enough to spend 20 to 30 dollars on movie tickets that day. Like, when I watched it on DVD, I remember getting bored once or twice. Oh well, some people must really like the X-men...

But the story continues. On Saturday he watched the X-men four more times in the theater, and on Sunday, he watched it four more times in the theater...

By Sunday, he told me he was able to recite the entire script with the characters. I don't know what strange infatuation he had with the movie that brought him to watch it that many times in the theater. I don't think there's any movie that I could watch 12 times in one weekend.

short version: My friend watched the original X-men movie 12 times on opening weekend

10/24/2007 8:24:38 PM

^ So I assume he didn't pay for all of those and just sat through in the theater ... right?

10/24/2007 9:18:32 PM

i usually wait untill there are a few movies out i want to see then go see them all if i can find a time schedule so that it works out.

watched Gone Baby Gone, 30 Days of Night, and 3:10 to Yuma on sunday. my record is watching 4 different movies in one day at one theater.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think he actually paid for all twelve showings. That's 60 to 90 dollars in tickets alone, plus whatever he got at the concession stands.

10/24/2007 9:52:27 PM

Instead of talking shit about your friend on the internet, you should be setting up an intervention with family and friends.


He has serious problems.

"how was the assassination of jesse james"

it was good...but not great.

thought it seemed kinda long and slow in some parts, but it does do a good job building tension.

Casey Afflek was even better in this than Gone Baby Gone

Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy I didn't pay for this movie...
Worth a rental though

There was a girl in my 6th grade class that had a Leonardo DiCaprio obsession. I think she ended up seeing Titanic 30+ times in theatres. Not sure how long of a time span that was but still, it couldn't have been in theatre more than 3 months maybe?

10/25/2007 12:49:50 AM

^ Titanic was in theaters FOREVER

It got released in December... I saw it the next April (interestingly enough, April 15th).

10/25/2007 12:53:17 AM

^is right...

Titanic spent like 7 or 8 months in theaters...
just one of the records that movie holds


There's this insane russell crowe fan that watches all of his movies on average about 10 times. She watched Gladiator over 50 times. I don't even think they charged her after the 20th time or so...

10/25/2007 1:10:32 AM

what the fuck

That's not really a record.

my Dad loves shipwreck stuff, especially the Titanic, so he saw that movie a lot

I saw 2 movies in one night, we saw some horror/action movie then changed rooms to see The Marine (the best movie ever), not paying for new tickets of course. We would've seen more but that was enough for us.

Damn, I'm hungry for popcorn now.

10/25/2007 9:31:06 AM

i saw The Sandlot about 6 times in the theatres.


My parents took me. Then I went with my friends.


Then every club/group/organization i was a part of saw it

and my roomie and i went and saw love actually 8-10 times in various theaters.

10/25/2007 6:23:18 PM

I watched 13 features and 2 shorts at Full Frame this year in 3 days. It was nice to see daylight at the end of it.

10/25/2007 6:38:12 PM

saw>saw2>saw3>saw4

yeah

10/27/2007 12:36:51 AM

Tuesday - 30 Days of Night, Into The Wild
Thursday - Darjeeling Limited

Within the next week I'm gonna see:
Michael Clayton
3:10 To Yuma
Gone Baby Gone
Lars And The Real Girl

There are just way too movies out right now that I want to see.

10/27/2007 1:21:45 PM

^let me know what you thought of Michael Clayton... Trying to figure out if it's just me and the roomate that thought it sucked ass... big let down

10/28/2007 2:00:39 AM

i didn't think it was anything special either. It was more like a lower-tier John grisham adaptation.
