This weekend I got together with a few friends for a 24 hour online video marathon. We sat together and watched some of the best science fictions films that were ever made. To be honest, we spent most of the time watching the Star Wars movies but there were a couple of other classics that made it as well. Now I am completely shattered. It really does feel like I’ve just finished a marathon; or at least a mental marathon anyway.
The idea of a 24 hour online video marathon started off as a joke. Joe, my friend, was saying that his girlfriend complains constantly that he spends far too much time watching TV. We all love to watch movies and usually spend most of our time talking about them. When we originally mentioned a 25 hour online video marathon it was just to annoy Joe’s girlfriend. However, the more we talked about it, the more we thought about doing it for real. Every one of us was curious to find out what it would be like to watch movies back to back for a whole day. Would we even be able to keep ourselves awake for the entire time?
We brought in lots of provisions for our marathon. Each of us brought a bagful of snacks and other treats. We ordered in pizzas and had plenty of coffee on tap. We debated hard about what movies we were going to watch during the marathon. We all agreed that Star Wars must be on the menu but the other choices were a bit of a dilemma. I really wanted to watch one of the Star Trek movies and thankfully, they all allowed me to get my way. We had all seen every movie in the marathon previously but it was still fun to watch them again.
Since its creation, the internet has allowed us to get pleasure from so many things. Among the thing s we’re now able to do are sending electronic mails, shopping searching for answers and searching for information – and a whole lot more besides. Probably the greatest things we’re able to do though is free movies online.
