Comments on: Schlock & Awe: The Vendetta 24 Hour Movie Marathon http://lumiere.net.nz/index.php/schlock-and-awe-24-hour-movie-marathon/ New Zealand's only online journal dedicated to film criticism and the arts review Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:45:25 +0000 hourly 1 By: Amanda http://lumiere.net.nz/index.php/schlock-and-awe-24-hour-movie-marathon/comment-page-1/#comment-441 Amanda Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:30:30 +0000 http://lumiere.net.nz/?p=474#comment-441 I love the 'vintage trash' (as you called it) since it gives us a real insight into the rate at which this genre has been able to change with the introduction of new technology giving low cost entry points for producers/directors to explore their ideas. The thought of watching back to back movies over a 24 hour period is a difficult one - the most that I have managed in the last couple of years is three movies back to back with obligatory comfort breaks in between. I find that eventually my brain starts to enter some sort of sensory overload zone where it struggles to follow the action. Anyway, you have reminded me a few titles that are worth re-visiting.
