LBT Marathon

[UnionRags123]

So...after someone on discord mentioned doing a Land Before Time movie marathon...I decided to do one too. Or at least try 


Who all has tried?
How many movies did you make it through?
What did you think of attempting to marathon the LBT movies?
How did you feel after the attempt?
Has anyone attempted to marathon the TV series?
If so, how many episodes did you last through?


I’m currently (as of this post) approximately 10 minutes into LBT VI: The Secret of Saurus Rock. However, it’s almost midnight...so I don’t know how many more movies I’ll make it through 

[ImpracticalDino]

In my current situation, I would most likely never be able to watch all of the movies in a LBT marathon just due to the sheer fact that I get so much homework everyday and I rarely get a break. Oh, and read my signature.

Come on, UnionRags123! Utilize your inner midnight brain power and watch all the movies!

Depends. Does it count as a Marathon when I have to take work/sleep-breaks? (curse lively needs like money and sleep XD)

I mean...I’d count it as a marathon even if you take sleep/work breaks...but depending on how many breaks and for how long...
Like if it takes a week to watch all the movies I would be less likely to count it as a marathon than if it took 3 days...


I’m currently just over 1/3 of the way through VII  (it’s 1:50 am for me at the time of this post)

I made it 22 minutes into IX before I got too tired to keep going

It’s 4:32 am in my time zone

I kinda did one over a period of a couple of days. I made through the end of VIII before I partially lost hearing in my right ear due to wearing headphones all day long, so I resumed a few days later once my hearing was back to normal and made it all the way to the end of XIV.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to watch all 14 movies in one sitting, though ...

As a couple of the others have said above, I guess it depends on how you'd define a marathon. I typically won't watch more than two movies a day, and even that is quite rare for me. Or else if I'm watching a TV series, I usually don't do more than two-to-four episodes a day. There have been times when I've watched, say, all the Harry Potter or Hobbit movies in short succession, but it's usually no more than one film a day or every other day.

When I was watching all the LBT films for the first time as an adult, I just did an average of one film every few or several days. Watching a whole bunch of them in a single day does sound kinda fun, but I think I'd also find it exhausting.

YAY FINALLY FINISHED!!!

As for why I thought this was a good idea...I have no idea   

Anyways...I’ve finished my LBT movie marathon...took roughly 26 hours from the start of the original to the end of XIV


Now I feel really weird 

[ImpracticalDino]

Congratulations!

I bet it was one of your Midnight Ideas.

You feel really weird because your eyes are starting to readjust to your surroundings after staring at a bright screen for 26 hours emitting blue ultraviolet light. It really does a number on ya, does it?

LBT TV series marathon next? With 26 episodes and 23 minutes per episode, it should only take...598 minutes, or roughly ~10 hours of watching. No biggie, right?

[UnionRags123]

It was actually a 5 pm idea 

It wasn’t 26 hours of movie watching - the total movie watch time was about 17 1/2 hours I think (I didn’t watch the end credits)

And over winter break I’m planning on marathoning the movies again - but all in a row instead of 8 movies—>sleep—>2 movies—>Cards Against Humanity—>4 movies

Winter Break Movie Marathon will be followed by a LBT TV series marathon...perhaps the next day?

@UnionRags123: Successfully completed your Winter Marathon yet?

I actually completely forgot about this thread, I just happen to encounter it again by chance.

This is devotion! How many can say “I suffered hearing loss for TLBT marathon.” You deserve an award and recognition.

Unhealthy devotion (surprising coming from me) if you physically detriment your health for mental pleasure.

But other than that, I agree with the other things 110%.

Real devotion comes from watching this entire video though.

Seems that I’m not devoted enough, as I haven’t attempted the challenge yet.

Such challeneges require A precious commodity.. time and a virtue, patience.

^Unfortunately, Time is something that I waste on a daily basis, and patience I have none of. So this level of dedication is something I’m not up to the task for.

Oh wait a minute...

So if I watch 14 fillms in one setting do I get a banner or badge? And how do I prove I watched all fourteen in a row?

Um...you get an LBT alcoholic badge?

Livestream it I suppose, that is if you really want authentic confirmation, because I’m pretty sure most, if not all would just take your word for it.

And hey, I thought Power Rangers is your biggest devotion now.
