And you thought I was a geek...

Many of you know that I enjoy having movie-marathon sessions every now and then. I've already had 3 or 4 Lord of the Rings Ridiculathons - watching all three extended edition movies in the same day. Some of you have even been a part of them.

With the release of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith on DVD, it's time to start thinking about a Star Wars Ridiculathon - all six Star Wars movies in one day. This will be considerably more arduous than Lord of the Rings. To watch all three extended edition Lord of the Rings movies takes 11 hours and 21 minutes. That doesn't include breaks. However, to watch all six Star Wars movies takes 13 hours and 14 minutes, not including breaks. I can't wait.

As geeky as that may sound to you, let's put things into perspective here. I stumbled across a website of a fellow Star Wars fan who did something similar - he watched all six Star Wars films simultaneously. Stop for a second and think about that. I didn't say 'consecutively'. I said 'simultaneously'. That's right, he managed to load all six DVDs into a file on his computer and separated them into six different windows and proceeded to watch all six films at the same time.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

There's hope for me yet.

So, who's with me for the Star Wars Ridiculathon?
