Jagoff Juice?!! Is it for consumption by jagoffs? Or do they juice the jagoffs? So many questions…

Row House Lawrenceville just announced their 4th annual Cult-O-Rama: 13 Hours of Terror Marathon. I [38m] just grabbed a ticket. Looks like they're selling out fast. Not saying that we all have to sit together and hold hands for 13 hours or anything, but if a group of people all wanted to skip work, grab a morning coffee, and kick off October with an all-day binge, that'd probably be fun 🎃

Appreciation post for dependable drive-in showing a double feature of Jurassic Park (1993) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022) as a Sam Neill tribute this weekend.

Estate sale find from a few months ago. As soon as I saw it, I knew I’d have to wait until the 4th of July to watch it.

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know of any local theaters that do movie marathons? My partner [38F] and I [38M] just moved from Boston and the annual movie binges are one of the few things that I'll really miss.

Just as an example, one of the local Boston theaters has a themed 12-hour halloween horror marathon every year. It's an awesome tradition. Last year's theme was creature features and the year before that was mad scientists.

The local drive-in theater does a similar all-night halloween marathon every year.

There's an annual 24-hour sci-fi marathon that's going on its 52nd year --- always a phenomenal program and a super dedicated community. It's a full 24 hours of euphoric escapism, sleep deprivation, and caffeine overload with a theater full of fellow sci-fi enthusiasts.

Last year the same theater did a Godzillathon... 12 solid hours of Godzilla movies. It was awesome.

Also some trilogy marathons---the Night of the Demons trilogy at Cinema Salem and the annual Long of the Rings binge.

Hopefully that gives a good idea of what I'm talking about. There's something about these events that really builds community and friendships... anything similar in the Pittsburgh area?

I found the dvd in a thrift store for $2 so I figured I’d give it a watch. Honestly can’t decide whether I liked it or not. There were definitely some really fun parts, but the plot felt somewhat slow. Maybe even a bit tedious. The creature effects were good, but not in a really serious way. It was all sort of goofy, but not necessarily funny. I definitely didn’t dislike it, but it just feels a bit meh. Very curious what other people think about it.

Maybe I just wasn’t watching it with the right mindset… a beer or two might have helped. Seems more like a MST3K kind of movie that needs to be watched in a group. I’ll probably revisit it in October with some friends and a bit more banter!

Epic slabbing.
