Busman's Holiday

Holy crap. Kirk already posted how we have less than three months before the Boston Marathon.

I have two days until the Frozen Half Marathon, which for me, is the opener to my racing season.

I am not exactly overly-prepared for both. In my defense, it's been absurdly cold. Like many Minnesotans I have been relegated to the treadmill during this cold snap. Emily joined Lifetime Fitness a few weeks ago, and last I joined her. So I haven't been running outside in over a week.

But tonight I am going to see this movie. So if I can't train for the marathon properly, maybe I can just perfect the art of watching a movie about a marathon.

Dude, Where's My Platoon?

I wonder if between Sunday night and Tuesday night, I set Netflix history. Specifically, I think I may have had two movies, side by side in my queue, that are unrivaled in terms of how different they are from one another.

On Sunday night, Emily and I watched this movie.

Then on Tuesday night, I watched the next movie in our queue, which was this gem.

So the question is, can anyone match this pair of movies in terms of their polar opposites? The only stipulations are that no more than 72 hours separated the viewing of the two movies, and that you didn't watch any other movie(s) between the two movies.

If you can top my movie pair, I'll send you my own copy ofthe hard-to-find DVD, Gandhi: The Animal House Years.
