Writing that last post reminded me (yet, again) of something I've been forgetting for the last two days. It is only right, just and fair that I take a little of my space here to honor what in my world (obvs) is a magnificent achievement. Namely, giving the word "marathon" its due. I've sat through five films in a row at the AMC Empire 25. I've even then come home and watched a DVD or two. But seven? Seven! Seven is a challenge which, as soon as I can find the time and plan it correctly, I will have to undertake myself.
In the mean time, bravo Matty! Job well done.

I must admit, it was awesome. For all those aspiring theater-hoppers, I am more than happy to give out some tips.
Oh, and I can't wait until they build the bridge between the E-Walk and Empire. I would be in hoppin-heaven.

good god. thats impressive... five is impressive. I just know that there are that many films out at any one time housed under one roof that I would want to see. I mean I am sure there are seven out at once that I would enjoy... but all playing at one theater!?
Geezus. You watched the Honeymooners didn't you Matty... admit it.

How dare you assume I would watch such drivel?!? I find it offensive. I opted to see films of much higher quality, like The Perfect Man and Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
