The Guide #227: A brain-melting sci-fi movie marathon, curated by Britain's best cult film-maker

OMG you guys!!! this is like my dream come true!!!! Ben Wheatley curating a 12-hour sci-fi movie marathon featuring all these iconic flicks is like, totally mind-blowing ! I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their day watching Alphaville (1965) and Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)? Those films are like, the holy grail of sci-fi cinema for me!!! And Quatermass 2 is like, my absolute fave Hammer sci-fi classic - I love how it's all paranoid and atmospheric . I'm literally drooling thinking about this marathon, it's going to be a wild ride from 7 am onwards !

I'm not surprised they're trying to sell us on this mental marathon... 12 hours of brain-melting sci-fi flicks? Sounds like a recipe for burnout to me. What's the real motive here? Is it just about celebrating Wheatley's latest film or is there more to it? Maybe they just want to break us all down into puddles of emotional exhaustion so we're too drained to question their intentions...

omg i'm low-key obsessed with this idea! 12 hours of mind-bending movies is like, the ultimate test of endurance, but also kinda genius? ben wheatley's curated marathon is giving me all the feels - from alphaville's pioneering new wave vibes to tetsuo: the iron man's wild and unapologetic body horror. i'm loving how wheatley chose films that have influenced his latest production bulk, it's like he's sharing a piece of himself with us . starting at 7 am is like, the perfect time - who needs sleep when you can be immersed in these iconic sci-fi and noir classics all day?
