I am just impressed you were able to physically survive 24 hours in of sitting and watching. I seriously thought about doing the marathon and if it had been at my local alamo instead of an amc in the suburbs, I would have done it. At least that's what I tell myself. It is unfortunate people can't behave at the movies these days. Main character syndrome is everywhere. Trust me, guy yelling at the screen, nothing you say is so witty that everyone would be missing out if they didn't hear it. I promise you that.

Two things. The lady playing air trombone along with the score might be my favorite part. And I hope everything is ok health wise.

I'm just fine, thanks man. I have been assured to high heaven this is exactly why you get a colonoscopy: to catch stuff. Big lesson: everyone get tests!

Did my first one earlier this year. It felt like the moment I officially went from my early to mid 40's.

Hope you're okay.

Other than the biopsy experience, I am pea green with envy. No theater in Richmond, VA thought of doing this.

I hope you're still doing well. A part of me wanted to do this massive marathon but after reading this, I guess I'm glad that I didn't. I would have been one of the positive fans like you. I would have talked or reacted at various scenes, but not too loudly. The line that I would have definitely shouted out, however, was Admiral Ackbar's infamous quote: "IT'S A TRAP!" 😆 Once I watched all six (at the time) films in one day and I nearly went crazy in the middle of it. I pulled through but I certainly had a headache. Maybe if I watched it with someone else, it would have been better.
