Wow, that’s epic! Be cool if this happened in the U.K. too.

 

No X-Men? Only one Spider-man?

 

Please don’t tell me she is going to stay in that theater for 60 straight hours. That can’t possibly be good for her health.

 

They aren't part of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Ah, the smells...the snoring...the live Tweeting. Sounds like a blast.

 

It begs the question, why? There's no way I could or even want to do this.

 

Yep, right after I take the Tide Pods challenge.

 

I’ll just watch the Blu Rays since it’s nkt anywhere near me.

 

You’re giving me a great idea.
“Honey, I’ll be gone for the next three days.
“”What!” “
“Oh don’t worry I’m not going anywhere near Tijuana... I’ll be at the theater for the marvel marathon. “


I consider watching ONE of those films a marathon. Captain Marvel and Aquaman available for download...haven’t even bothered. Real marathon would include finishing half of them.

 

There are food breaks between the movies, she'll be getting up walking around between them. She has her own plan for which films to doze during, setting a (vibrating) alarm to wake her up for the ones she really wants to see.

 

Some men ask why, I ask why not?

She loves these films.

She and I did Trilogy Tuesday, which was extended versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers followed by The Return of the King.

And we did that to see these films with other people who also love them.

Put it this way: You could give us 50 yard line Super Bowl tickets and we wouldn't give a damn. But don't you think there would be plenty of people out there willing to wait 60 hours in line to get 50-yard line Super Bowl tickets (which they would use as opposed to reselling for an absurd amount of money.) Why is sports fanaticism considered normal and movie fanaticism considered abnormal?

 

It's happening in SF as well.

 

You're right. I saw Metreon 16 in California and assumed it was in LA.

 

I think that a L.O.T.R. marathon is too long (just the three movies).

 

May I suggest wearing compression hose or socks. Don’t want anyone getting a DVT.

 

We did the Star Wars marathon back when Force Awakens came out and it was brutal. Most of the event was a blur and I slept through at least two of the seven films. Can’t imagine doing this one.

 

"Kevin Feige has produced every film in the series, alongside Avi Arad for the first two releases, Gale Anne Hurd for The Incredible Hulk, Amy Pascal for the Spider-Man films"

"and Captain Marvel (2019), with Avengers: Endgame (2019) and Spider-Man: Far From Home(2019) still scheduled for the phase"

" Sony Pictures distributes the Spider-Man films, which they continue to own, finance, and have final creative control over.[4]"

I still don't understand...

How can Spiderman be half in and half out of the Marvel Universe?

 

Maybe he's underage? Maybe he's a "trainee superhero", with a paper hat underneath that costume.

"Sorry kid, no 'friendly neighborhood' superheroes in our universe. Come back when you have your superhero license."

 

This is the woman who saw all 9 and a half hours of Shoah in one day. She's made of stern stuff. She has four films planned for today.

 

Makes as much sense as anything else in the Marvel superhero stable?

 

they struck a deal (Sony/Marvel) to make a Spiderman movie that is part of the MCU and includes characters/plot lines etc

On February 9, 2015, Sony Pictures and Marvel announced that Sony would be releasing a Spider-Man film co-produced by Marvel Studios president Feige and Amy Pascal, with Sony Pictures continuing to own, finance, distribute, and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.[4] In April 2015, Feige confirmed the character would be Peter Parker and added that Marvel had been working to add Spider-Man to the MCU since at least October 2014, when they announced their full slate of Phase Three films, saying, "Marvel doesn't announce anything officially until it's set in stone. So we went forward with that Plan A in October, with the Plan B being, if [the deal] were to happen with Sony, how it would all shift. We've been thinking about [the Spider-Man film] as long as we've been thinking about Phase Three."[279] In June 2015, Tom Holland was cast in the role of Spider-Man and Jon Watts was hired to direct the film,[211] and the next month, John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein were hired to write the screenplay.[280] Additional screenwriters include Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.[212] In April 2016, the title was revealed to be Spider-Man: Homecoming.[281] Production began in June 2016 at Pinewood Atlanta,[282][283] and concluded in October 2016.[284]Spider-Man: Homecoming premiered on June 28, 2017 in Hollywood,[285] and was released in the United Kingdom on July 5,[286] and the United States on July 7, 2017.[287]

 

It's beginning to sound like CCD. Compulsive Cinema Disorder.

 

So, where does the upcoming Far From Home, fit into the scheme of things?
