Star Wars: The Force Awakens (SPOILER FREE)
Jeff:
The kids and I will be doing a home marathon - watching one flick each Saturday night starting 11/7 and then seeing Ep7 on Saturday 12/19. (yes, including 1-2-3 since they actually like the prequels).
Nicklab:
I was thinking about doing something similar at home.
The marathon SOUNDS great until you actually think about the details. 24 hours in a movie theater can be kind of rough, just from a sleep deprivation standpoint. I'm used to getting up for work at 4 AM, so that part of it isn't so much the concern. But sitting in a theater for THAT LONG? And to have the movie that you really want to see, THE FORCE AWAKENS after watching both the PT and the OT? I don't think I'd want to be that tired going into the new movie.

We'll be doing the same, but I think we'll skip 1-3. I think they're relevant to the 4-6 story line, but I'm not sure how relevant they are to the 7+ story line.
Diddly:
I agree with Nicklab. That's a lot of Star Wars, and it's going to be hard enough waiting through that week.
I'll probably watch a movie a night leading up to TFA, maybe throw in stuff like the Tartakovsky Clone Wars, or the un-special OT on VHS if I can swing it.

It's a lot of ANYTHING, truth be told. I remember a few years ago I had like 3 days off, and it was summer movie season. I had some free time and decided to see the first Transformers movie in the theater. And I had plans that same night to go see a Harry Potter film that night with friends. Wow, what a mistake! Feel free to bash the Transformers movie because it's definitely an easy target. But after that Harry Potter movie? I was EXHAUSTED! I couldn't believe how seeing two blockbuster films on the same day in a movie theater wiped me out, even with as much as three hours in between each one. That experience alone left me very, very wary of doing a movie marathon. I thought about doing it with the Lord of the Rings films, but those movies are even longer than any of the Star Wars movies. I would much rather do a series of screenings, but still be well rested and able to enjoy the movie. And most of all, to let the new film stand on it's own.
