FILM-A-THON

[PTAhole]

CriterionMaster, BlackMoses, and I, will be having a week long film marathon the second or third week of the summer. The scheadule is almost final, but there are some adjustments. For those not participating, why not make some suggestions?

Sincerely,

Tim "Master of Paper Plates" May

Watch Nashville or Wall Street.

Now my thing is we need to take off a long film, and I have decided on Spartacus because that is really long, and is way to expensive for me to get it when I have much more important things to buy. It will be missed but we will just watch it some other time. Any other comments?

[PTAhole]

You haven't seen Nashville, bum. It's better than a lot of the films on there. Oh, well, I like that list...

[criterionmaster]

Oh I didn't even know he said that, my bad. And we forgot to mention that I will be filming the thing and then afterwards we plan on editing it and turning it into alittle documentary type thing so we can see how tired we get over the course of the thing. Since we are only getting a couple hours of sleep a night and 15 min. breaks in between the films.

[PTAhole]

That will be fun. By the way, I was thinking we could shoot a little documentary in the near future. I will discuss this more with you privately...

[captainofbeef]

Before you get caught up in your docs, we must finish the film we already started. When will we be finishing? Plus if you are taking out Spartacus, put in Nashville. Trust me its Altman and I think you and Joel would really like it.

[PTAhole]

I believe the date is still the 13th.

[captainofbeef]

ok.

[criterionmaster]

Yeah at the same time. I think I need to make out a contract for my parents and this Film-a-Thon even though the already said yes I don't want my grades/behavior to interfere. Tim you will have to help and while we are at it we might as well make them for Joel and you to. No Nashville this time. If I have left over time (doubt it!) after I make the schedule with times and breaks added I will post it.

[blackmoses]

Their is way to many films but thats alright.

[criterionmaster]

Yeah thats fine with me also. I am wondering how much you guys will spend on this. I am guessing (not counting buying the films we are going to buy) it will come to around 70$ for the whole week + whatever time it goes over. Is that fine with both you because you are gonna have to put money into this?

[PTAhole]

That's fine.

[blackmoses]

Will see.

[criterionmaster]

I am working on the schedule now. I think I am going to do little booklets with the films, poster art, small summary, and running times and a spot for comments. Since we can't go on the computer you might forget what your first reactions were to the film unless you write them down during the break. I may need PTAhole to help me on this if he is willing to. What do you think of the idea?

[blackmoses]

Fine

[PTAhole]

I dig it.

[criterionmaster]

How many hours are we sleeping each night, 5?

[PTAhole]

4-5

[captainofbeef]

Your list is completely deviod of Clint. You must add a Clint film now!!

[PTAhole]

Oh, pooh.

^That was SO hard! AAAHHHH!

[PTAhole]

Never. Actually, we decided to split it into a couple chunks. It's more managable that way. PRobably do a couple of the days over a three day weekend or something.

[captainofbeef]

You should seriously do this sometime.

[criterionmaster]

We will, we will.
