When Sen. Joni Ernest said, "Well, we all are going to die,” I didn’t think she meant right away.

War is peace.

Who radicalized him

Whenever anyone comments "where's the parade for ___?" another decade is added to the need for Pride to exist.

John Mulaney and Mike Faist should do a buddy picture

Guardians is such a cool name for a baseball team

I don't say this often because it just sounds like a childish insult, but it's actually true, Donald J. Trump is dumb.

They tried making flesh matching round bandages to obscure zits, and Gen Z was like fuck that make them cobalt blue and in the shape of a bunny

Surely any organization celebrating Saint Patrick's Day are at risk of having their federal funding revoked.

Alexander cutting the Gordian Knot only the knot is intact and everyone standing around watching has been cut in half.

Old enough to remember Ronald Reagan being lauded for restoring dignity to the White House after Jimmy Carter once wore a sweater on national TV.

Yes. We want you to go swimming.

When we run marathons we complete them, so in spite of all my physical needs and instincts I will stick around for DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (2024). But I am packed and ready to hit the road. Ack! Ack! #sfmarathon50

Yep, fast asleep during all the most exciting parts of the last film. We’re winding down, two flicks left and I’ve put my pants back on. #sfmarathon50

Secret #2 hints: Trailer for “Gorillas in the Mist” Trailer for “The Whales of August” Looney Tunes: Rabbit Fire Any ideas? #sfmarathon50

Our first CWRU Science Fiction Marathon was probably 1996. I can’t recall going before that time. THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE DIMENSION (1984) played that year, too. The riffing got really sexist and my partner loudly told them to knock that stuff off. They did. #sfmarathon50

Enjoyed popcorn and soda for the last movie, I got some Haribos for this and I hear there’s gonna be burgers. #sfmarathon50

The Saturday night crowd has appeared to fill in empty seats and see 2001 (1968). I hadn’t even seen it until last year when it was streaming, I’d been waiting for a big screen opportunity and now I got one. #sfmarathon50

What we’re being told is THE LOST WORLD was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s only short story that wasn’t a Sherlock Holmes story. We’re about to see the 1924 silent film adaptation featuring a live score performed by Jeff Rapsis! #sfmarathon50

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951) remains one of the very best science fiction films ever made. I feel as thought it is on the list every time I attend this marathon. That’s not a complaint. #sfmarathon50

By the way the pizza was from Dewey’s the bagels were from Cleveland Bagel Co. and lunch is chicken shawarma from Aladdin’s #sfmarathon50 (and more Pepsi)

Time for WALL-E (2008), including a trailer for HELLO, DOLLY! (1969) Having another coffee to hold me over until lunch. We’re only 15 min. behind the schedule! #sfmarathon50

Now we’re enjoying a program of the opening credits to a dozen or so Saturday morning cartoons from the 60s & 70s. #sfmarathon50

Someone needs to explain something to me. One year — I think it was 1999 – they showed UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (1991) and it was a doozy. A somewhat futuristic noir from Wim Wenders, the obtuse plotline was complicated by the film canisters gotten out of order, the audience was in revolt. 1/2

Forgot how young Ed Furlong is in T2. Breakfast was a whole everything with cream cheese and more coffee. Also, they have Malley’s stuff here so I had two milk chocolate covered pretzels. The is truly living. #sfmarathon50

Trailers remind me I need to see THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET (1984). But next is TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (1991) which I haven’t seen in over thirty years. I recall it was good. #sfmarathon50

January 2020, four of us came to the marathon specifically to see TWELVE MONKEYS (1995) and before that, the short French film it was based on, LA JETEE (1962). By then, we knew about COVID-19, it just wasn’t here yet. It was a disturbing evening. #sfmarathon50

Now for the greatest adaptation of Shakespeare ever filmed — FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956)! Oh, wait. No. It’s THIS ISLAND EARTH (1955). I keep thinking of the funniest riffs but I don’t say them. Got an apple! Something fresh! #sfmarathon50

ONE MILLION B.C. (1940), and I contemplate a cup of coffee. Figured out how to curl into my lecture hall seat in the right way so that I can sleep. It’s cute. #sfmarathon50

The first time I brought my kid to the marathon was in 2017, when we saw ARRIVAL (2016) and HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY (2005). The boy was eleven, he said ARRIVAL was the best movie of that year. “The Black Hole” is not very good. #sfmarathon50

Woof. Crashed out during that last one, will probably snooze through THE BLACK HOLE (1979) as well. Got a bottle of water, grateful I brought a toothbrush, too. #sfmarathon50

Surprise 1: MARS ATTACKS (1996) And I got into my soft pants. #sfmarathon50
