New Years Marathons

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-do-you-think dept.

So for those of us who don't go "Out" for holidays and prefer sitting on our asses, the extended TV theme Marathon is something of a tradition. Besides obvious choices like watching all the Star Wars movies, what sorts of marathon tv endurance tests are people planning? Buffy, Angel, Twin Peaks, Iron Chef? What are you gonna do?

  2. Just to be different... by Tsar · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...I'm planning a marathon viewing of the classic "Dark Screen."

    Leave the TV off for a day! How's that for a resolution? (And no, don't replace it with 24 hours of Slashdot.)

    Start a journal! Read a book! Volunteer! Pray for peace! Do something that you can feel good about. Trust me, a full day of Gilligan's Island won't do it.

  3. Screw TV, I've got fireworks by NonSequor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Tonight I'm going to be setting off nearly a hundred dollars worth of overpriced fireworks. They may be overpriced, but I consider having fireworks on New Year's Eve and the 4th of July to be just as essential a need as food and shelter. A New Year's Eve without the smell of gun powder in the air is something that I shudder to even contemplate.

  4. I, Claudius by Dr.+Dew · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm doing a marathon viewing of the BBC series I, Claudius. Great performance throughout by Derek Jacobi, and I love Patrick Stewart's little wig.

    It's not Mrs. Dew's favorite thing, but she tolerates "Clavdivs" once a year. See also this fact or fiction site.
