Yeah, back in uni I used to do one with my friends at least once a year. We’d get about 10 people crammed into a room with a monitor, bring an unhealthy amount of snacks, plan to start at 9am, have tech issues till 11 or 12, and then watch until midnight or 1am with a break for pizza in the evening. It was great.
A marathon of the extended editions is exactly what they need. Phone locked away during viewing.
Did this with my 16yo a couple months back. She was sick last week and marathoned them again on her own.
I was so proud
You should be!
It’s honestly one of my favourite marathons to do on a cold winter weekend, excited for my annual viewing :)

That does sound great, may be time for a sleepover viewing with the friends methinks, with some pipe weed
The fact that we’ve gotten to the point where looking at little screen is bad so we need to lock it up to stare at big screen, is depressing.
And I love movies, but the thought of that as a society is depressing.
But, it’s all good FreeVee isn’t it?
I own exactly one Blu-ray set, and got my Xbox series X because it plays blu-rays.
For the extended edition directors cut of lotr. 12 hours of goodness.
Tied down, eyes fixed open like in Clockwork Orange? I named that setup the appreciation chair.
Yes! Lock the phone! Such a pet peeve
Part of why the only theatre I ever go to is Alamo.
It’s not cheap, but you don’t deal with people talking or phones out.
They’ll throw a fit and then sulk if you do that lol
