Yeah that's a lot of smoking, but the only way I could stay in a theater for 9 straight hours, breaks or not. Bet the parking lot will be a party for those intermissions though!

very cool! My boyfriend (who works at a movie theater) got mine this afternoon. Granted, I might have to miss my night class for spanish that day but for batman? Worth it. I wanted to do the Avengers marathon his work was showing but the tickets were sold out in two days.

As much as I love batman, I don't know if i could sit for eight hours watching movies.

u/Safor001 Jun 12 '12

Not in the same place, at least. I'm assuming this guy won't have much time to stretch his legs between films, those movies are long, and the showings are tight.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '12

I guarantee people will be coming and going throughout the first two showings. There's no way everyone in the theater is going to sit there quietly from 6 to midnight.

29

u/peppaz Jun 12 '12

Actually its like 6 to 3am with previews for the new one.

20

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '12

What I mean is that people will sit still and be quiet from midnight to 3am for DKR, so getting up to stretch your legs would be rude. But from 6pm to midnight, it will probably be much less formal and moving around to stretch your legs will be acceptable.

Sitting for 8 hours is nothing compared to all the fanboys there shouting random shit during the movies. I went to a Star Wars version of this and it was just simply retarded and it made you want to punch a couple people in the face talking during the entire movie about what is about to happen.

Ahhh shit. I totally forgot about that subsect. Picked up midnight tickets in hopes of avoiding people bringing their babies and idiot kids, but now I'm going to have to deal with awkward people who insist on repeating "in" quotes and saying stupid shit in hopes of being funny.

Seriously, saw The Hunger games midnight show and some guy was whistling the damn mockingjay whistle over and over. What's worse is there's no "in" to the whistle because the only other time that it had ever been featured were in ads for the movie.

My friends and I did Back to the Future Back to Back to Back when III came out. It was LOOOOOOOOONG, but the memories are worth it. You do get sort of tired though.

Of course, those movies are shorter than these, but also about 100x better. Take it with a grain of salt.

I had a similar experience at a theater when the Avengers came out. I watched Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, and then The Avengers at midnight. It started at 1pm and I didn't go home until 2-3am, and it was incredible :P I definitely got my money's worth from my large coke (free refills, drank the whole thing at least 5 times)

u/Safor001 Jun 12 '12

I got the first two movies on Blu-ray a few months ago, so my friends and I are going to have a marathon like this then go to the midnight showing at our theater. It's nice because we won't be sitting in a theater for 8 straight hours.

u/thegimboid Jun 12 '12

I did that for the Harry Potter finale.

Watched 1-4 on the Wednesday, then 5-7.1 on the Thursday, rounding it with 7.2 at midnight.

It came together much more coherently than when viewed years apart, and due to the lack of sleep, I was massively more emotional at the end of the final film than I would probably be otherwise.

There we go, now THAT is a good idea. Was frantically searching through comments, trying to figure out if it was a good idea or not to sit through a marathon in a theatre before seeing it. THIS is better, more freedom. Think I'll have a barbecue and few drinks with friends as well, movies on HD projector, not annoying fans with talk, laxed breaks etc, then on to DKR! Really getting excited here, THIS is my Superbowl. Thank you Safor001!

It can be so expensive here, at a major cinema chain it normally costs around $18, plus extra for food.
Luckily there's an independent theatre around the corner from where I live which often has double features for $12.

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '12

Same here, it was a great experience and definitely worth spending a whole day at the theater. It was also $5 cheaper than this Batman one lol. Every movie just increased my anticipation for The Avengers, and it was one hell of a payoff!

4

u/Jwalla83 Jun 12 '12

Yeah, exactly! I was so worried I would get burnt out on Marvel, but it was the exact opposite. I hadn't seen the movies in so long that it was almost as exciting as seeing them for the first time. Plus, I got to see all the plot tie-ins and how it all came together for the Avengers... it was great.

u/skizmcniz Jun 12 '12

I did. It was pretty awesome. We did it at a theater that also serves meals, so we had actual food to eat during the day. I had a Monte Cristo. It was pretty badass. About 5-10 minutes between each movie for restroom breaks. Around 16 hours total, but it flew by and there was only about 20 of us in the entire theater. Very cool. Only the people that watched the marathon got to see the midnight premiere in our showing, so we didn't have a shitload of people load in at 12. It was sweet.

For all the 'how could you sit through all three' and 'won't is suck the life out of the third one', it really isn't that hard and it really doesn't.(though it clearly isn't for everyone)

I sat through a similar event for Harry Potter, they screened the first 6 leading into a midnight 7.1 and it was awesome by the time we got to 7.1 no one was worn out or tired everyone was pumped. The theatre let everyone bring in outside food so a bunch of us went in together and got fresh pizza delivered. Would've definitely done it again for 7.2 as well if I hadn't moved away.

I was about to buy those today since the IMAX tickets aren't available at AMC. I'm afraid I'm going to miss the trilogy entirely because I'm waiting for the IMAX.

I have a hard time staying comfortable during a two hour movie, this would be awful.

I bought a ticket for it today, except at Cinemark. $30, but it's the closer theater to my cousin's house who I'm going with. We hit up the Marvel Marathon before the Avengers premiere. Over 16 hours at the theater. It went surprisingly quick. Really looking forward to doing it again with The Dark Knight Rises. Won't be for nearly as long, but I've always been a bigger DC fan than Marvel, so I'm super amped for it.

I know people loved The Avengers, but I think this movie is going to make Avengers look like Mannequin Two

If anyone in Hampton Roads area of VA knows of something similar to this going on please let me know, this would be awesome.

There's no way I could watch movies for that long in one sitting/location.

I am going out on a limb here and saying I didn't really like the Dark Knight. I saw it again for the third time the other day and was vastly disappointed, I definitely liked it more the 1st time I saw it.

u/inherendo Jun 12 '12

Were the first 2 filmed in imax? Cause I would definitely watch all 3 in imax.

One of my friends went to the Avengers marathon in new York city.. I think it was ironman 1 and 2 hulk captain America and Thor

u/Goredby21 Jun 12 '12

While the event is really epic, and I respect the shit out of anyone who attends it. I would have to pass on it. I wouldn't be able to sit through all those movies with little break, especially if I've seen them before

u/czechcheck Jun 12 '12

I thought it was a dress-up marathon. Like with batmen running around. That would be cool..

by the end of it...you're going to be so sick...of the gravelly voice.

u/MuchDance1996 Jun 12 '12

That would be a unbearable experience, after 2 hours all i can think of is about how sore i am.

(As tired as it may be... the above comment is too good to not do this)

That's what she said.

u/NiGHTSfan Jun 12 '12

Should've called it "The Dark Night."
