I won't be there so my opinion counts for squat, but here's what I think.
Sleep should be avoided, this will weed out the weak by the end.
Viewing order I would leave up to the attendees at start time to decide, or do the tradition coin flip to pick a starter.
I wouldn't bother with pauses during movies, unless its like a single short intermission in the middle or such. If you pause everytime someone needs to take a tinkle you'll probably take 2 full days to finish.
The one major factor I think we had up in the air was the order of the S.W. saga, production order or chronological order? And I don't think there was ever a consensus.
And as for evaluation, if it can be called that after a day without sleep, then I would say just go right at it, head-to-head comparison.
I look forward to hearing about the results, and will raise a toast to you when I'm camping out at Potrero War miles and miles from a tv.
Sleep deprivation. We can walk over anyone who passes out :) Alternatively, I can bring my aerobed and we can set it up in the office, so anyone who needs a nap can take one. However, we will make fun of them.
I noted my idea about order previously.
We have to compare? There is work involved? I thought this was just for giggles?
An intermission for the long movies makes sense, but yeah, if we pause every time we need to pee, we'll never finish. Besides, everyone has seen these already anyway.
What food options are there? I bought a 12 pack each of diet coke and mt dew, and there is that aforementioned gift as well. Should food be brought? Will food be made? Will we order pizza? Should we put someone in charge of snacks?
I think anyone brave enough to follow through with organizing and attending one of these things certainly gets to set "house rules" by virtue of actually being there! That said, I would favor a 10-15 min intermission between films--because it gives people time to process, rant and rave, and create nuanced reactions to these things. It is *science* after all, so I'd be factoring in time to take notes/finish the touches on one epic poem before starting the next/run around and do an interpretive dance in reaction to the film before starting the next.
Coin toss seems smart. Sleeping breaks are bad, of course! This should be an exquisite torture. Pee breaks--I'd say don't pause the films for those, even if it does skew the results a little.
Finally got to the library last night--will post recepies on wookie cookies when I get back from work. Yay!
