Matt Raub record breaking movie marathon: Day 1
Other web sites think their movie reviewers are tough, but let’s see them try and watch movies for five days straight while not being distracted by Times Square. That’s what our own Matt Raub (second from right) is doing right this minute, as he tries to break the world record for watching movies. No fast forwarding through the slow parts. No skipping the credits. And no popcorn throwing at the other contestants. All this for a $10,000 cash prize, a lifetime subscription to Netflix, the first-ever Popcorn Bowl trophy, and the glory of a Guiness World Record.
Go Matt!

UPDATE: Sad to say, Matt nodded off at 12 noon today after making it past the 24 hour mark. We’re all very curious as to what film put him to sleep…
I do believe Matt's out already, but still, way to go Matt!
The photo was from this afternoon, when they announced they were down to seven– and the original photo showed seven people looking on. So unless he just got knocked out, I think he's still in.
Nope, Sal's right, sad to say. Matt Raub nodded off at 12 noon today after making it past the 24 hour mark.
Don't sweat it, good sir. I'm sure Jack Bauer would've passed out sooner. It takes some real guts to hang in there for a full 24 hours without somebody shooting at you. Kudos!
