Film School Rejects: Netflix Wants to Test Your Movie Watching Endurance

  • Breton · 1 year ago
    It's limited to 56 movies? That doesn't sound like it's going to be all that record holding-ish worthy. They'll probably tie.

    As well, Guinness is supporting this? It's essentially sleep deprivation, which they stopped recording some time ago along with other things that can cause health problems. =/

    i think i could win if i didn,t eat or drink anything before hand and the worst movie
    that they could show for me would be 10,000 BC, van helsing or vantage point.

    Um...what? 56 movies is pretty severe. A 24-hour marathon usually only has 11 or 12. We're talking over 4 days of movie watching. When's the last time you stayed up 4 days in a row for anything, let alone sitting idle?

    I'm guessing the people that have done BNAT have an edge here, but even that's only 24 hours of film.

    This whole thing is disturbing. I'm in.

    What I was trying to say is, having a LIMIT on a record is just silly. If no one were to make it that far, then sure, I guess it's fine. But what if they do? It would hardly be the "record"(Yes, I realize it WOULD be the record, I'm at a loss of words here), but rather netflix was a bitch and decided to turn the TV off.

    LOTR Trilogy, every single documentary ever made, Das Boot uncut, Titanic, Pearl
    Harbor - I swear I'd probably kill myself by then lol

    I say they slip in the old black and white political films. No one would survive!

    Anyone from FSR gonna try for it?

    I know I have no chance for it even if I tried... haven't been able to break the 72
    hour mark yet without sleep, and thats with the aid of coffee and not sitting idle for
    the whole time...

    I think if I did try I would petition for certain awesome upbeat films... maybe some
    Miyazaki... and some action/adventure Speilberg

    It would suck if they said, okay, how about we start off with a Friedberg and Seltzer marathon!
