I marathoned the Lord of the Rings trilogy ~15 years ago on cable.
It was awful. Commercials were bad enough, but I’d only seen the extended editions, and getting through all three movies in like 7 hours felt like absolute blasphemy. It would cut to a commercial break and when it came back it’s like they skipped 30 minutes every time.
A flu was how I saw the original Star Wars trilogy – I think I also timed a flu with a James Bond marathon.
Wonder if they still have those kind of marathons for sick kids to trip across - been eons since I’ve watched cable.
