Those Ryvita mini things are damn expensive for what they are, but stupidly tasty nonetheless.

Trying to cut down on eating so much damn chocolate.

re: the lord of the rings screening - is it the theatrical cuts or the extended editions?

Tried an extended editions marathon a few months ago and it wiped me out - thank **** we can pause dvds for toilet breaks, cooking food and sleeping

I dunno why but I can do marathon sessions watching boxsets of tv shows on dvd (for example I watched the entire 1st and 2nd series of The Wire over a 4 day period - which was about 12 hours of watching a day) but marathon watches at the cinema just take it out of me, remember watching Alien 1,2 and 3 all together at the cinema and I was absolutely knackered mid way through. Can just imagine how exhausting the LotR trilogy is going to be, especially on Imax.

I don't think it's the extended editions - the timing seems to short.

I know what you mean, I watched Series 1 and 2 of 24 in 4 days too. Was just a case of watch first half or series 1, sleep, watch secent half sleep, watch, sleep, watch, sleep.


And I managed that just fine.

I've just realised 27th October is the "Day of Pink" in the UK, both Pink PSP and DS Lite come out that Friday. Even the slim Pink PS2 is down for late Oct/early Nov. Must be something about the time of year.

It's always 'pink' bloody everything down here in Brighton

Latest stat I saw in the local news is that 20% of adult males in Brighton are gay. Makes me wonder at work that does!!

Maybe the games companies are looking to cash in on the pink pound?!

October is the magical month when Pagan fertility gods, the Moon, the tides and the national supply of chocolate converge to wipe out all traces of PMS, making it the ideal time to sell things to girlies. It's true I tells ya!

Sorry to backtrack, but I love film marathons. The local Cinema does a Halloween one each year.

First I caught Romero's Dead Trilogy. Then a couple of years later it was Shaun of the Dead, Night Of the Dead, then Texas Chainsaw. I was the only one still awake at the end. >_<

Would love to catch the Alien Trilogy at one of these (forget Resurrection).

I went to a Star Wars marathon some years ago and hated every minute of it. In front of me I had the obligatory Total Film readers making snide comments all through the film, whilst behind me were the legions of fat, bearded manchildren who say every 'classic' line a handful of heartbeats before it was spoken on screen. I can only imagine the LOTR would be much worse - and far smellier.

**** that! I could not handle that, must have been so annoying!

They recently did the original 70mm Indiana Jones trilogy marathon at my local cinema. Unfortunately I missed it as I was on holiday, and as it turns out it was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity as the original 70mm prints are very hard to come by. Sucks, as they are my favourite films everest
