Marc over at Go, See, Talk had a wonderful idea for a blogathon, which kicked off last weekend. I am a little late to this party, but after seeing everyone’s brilliant posts I had to join in. The idea is simple — you are in charge of a movie theater, and it is your duty to come up with a double feature for every day of the week. The only exception is on Sunday, which is a triple feature. I had a blast brainstorming for this blogathon, and I feel pretty good about some of these selections. Let’s get this started!
– Manic Pixie Dream Girl Monday –
Garden State / (500) Days of Summer
Make it a date night.
– Throwback Tuesday –
They Live / RoboCop
Late 80s bliss.
– Workweek Wednesday –
Office Space / Secretary
Why the hell not?
– Trippin’ Balls Thursday –
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas / Enter the Void
Hallucinogens not provided.
– Feel Good Friday –
Almost Famous / Taking Woodstock
Coming of age in the world of music. Livin’ the dream.
– Shitstorm Saturday –
Troll 2 / The Room
Special BYOB night. Drinking encouraged!
– Sacrilegious Sunday –
Religulous / Jesus Camp / Dogma
Go to church then hit the cinema!
Honorable Mention: American Psycho / Thank You For Smoking (just seems like a fun combo, no?)
Again, thanks to Marc at Go, See, Talk for organizing this. To see a list of everyone else’s features, follow this link.
Have to say I really like the Office theme; pretty smart:) But your Fear and Loathing/Enter the Void is too much psychedelic cinema for me:) Still haven’t seen Troll 2 or The Room but somehow I think I’m better for it…but I highly agree with your encouraged drinking:P
Haha, I can’t exactly say Troll 2 and The Room are required viewing, but they are highly entertaining — especially when drinks are consumed.
They Live and RoboCop would make an amazing double feature!
Agreed. Probably my two favorite movies from that time period.
it’s funny, your tagline for wednesday “why the hell not?” is kinda what you think when you see that artwork for secretary!
cool list, i saw enter the void mentioned somewhere else recently. i think i may have to see it at some point but a double feature?! small doses only for this viewer.
Haha yeah, Thursday is probably my most challenging night. Both movies are acquired tastes, especially Enter the Void.
OK, get me tickets to Throwback Tuesday and Workweek Wednesday!! I don’t think I could handle many of the other days, especially Shitstorm Saturday!!
Great list matey!! (gutted I missed the boat tbh)
Have a great weekend
Thanks, man! I can’t say I blame ya for skipping out on Saturday, but I think it would be a lot of fun. Nothing like seeing terrible movies with a full crowd.
Interesting list…I have never heard some of them, I know some of them but I have only seen Robocop.
Thanks! I highly recommend checking out They Live, even if you don’t pair it with RoboCop. It is an absolute B-movie classic.
