I figure Avengers and AoU will be worth it for a: punching bag scene; and b: log ripping.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

The closest one to us is 23 miles away and not feasible with ltc, but wow does a whole day hiding in a dark movie theater sound like heaven right about now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There are Things I like about AoU; I just have to ignore all the Things around them that I don't like. I need to edit for myself a new version of the movie. I want to erase everything that had to do with Barton's surprise family and everything that happened at their totally ultrasecret not-really-a-farm in rural Virginsylvania.

Some friends did that for Star Wars, which meant all six movies leading up to the new one and started at like 11 pm of the night before.

Zen is me. And Fury is suddenly all concerned and father-like about Tony? Huh? I need a Good Parts version, too. AoU was on when I was in Vegas, I'd watch up to the part of Tony going "Please be a secret door please be a secret door--yay!"

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I wasn't going to do the Captain America marathon, because it's during our second-busiest time of the year, but I just had my performance review today, and it devolved into my boss and I talking about how much we love Cap, and then I said my neighbors were going to the marathon. So she said that I should go, and that she'd cover for me that day. So I am!
I will probably nap and/or cut out for food and circulation breaks during Avengers and AoU.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo, amyth!
I guess if your wig is big enough, it doesn't matter?
True in so many situations.

I had such a good time at the LOTR marathon, but I think 14 hours might be too much for me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I did the Marvel Movie Marathon before the first Avengers movie. It was a lot of fun, and awesome to be able to see the through-lines of the stories. But after 14 hours, I was so punchy when we left, I couldn't find my truck in the parking structure and had to have my friend find it for me (turns out I went down the correct ramp, but turned the wrong direction at the bottom of it). Plus, sore. Plus, 2 vacation days, 'cuz no way I was going to make it into work that Friday.
So I'm tempted to do it again, but leery.

I don't think I could do a movie marathon in a theater. I need to be able to stand up and move around more easily than that.
