Press Release: Netflix Movie Watching World Championship


8 CONTESTANTS, 56 MOVIES, 121 HOURS,

THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDÒ ON THE LINE


Netflix Movie Watching World Championship to

 Take Place in Times Square from October 2-7

‘The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl’

LOS GATOS, Calif., September 15, 2008 – Their eyes may be glued to the screen, but all eyes will be on the eight competitors who will participate in the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship: The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl.  Hosted by Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX), the world’s largest online movie rental service, the grueling movie watching marathon will begin on October 2nd in New York’s Times Square and is expected to last until a new Guinness World Record®, for most consecutive hours spent watching movies, is set five days later on October 7th.

 

At stake is the undeniable notoriety associated with holding the title of world champion, a $10,000 cash prize, a lifetime subscription to Netflix and the first-ever Popcorn Bowl trophy.

 

Featuring some of the world’s most accomplished endurance enthusiasts, the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship challenges contestants to watch a continuous run of movies in an effort to eclipse the existing world record of 120 hours and 23 minutes held by Ashish Sharma of Mathura, India.  Mr. Sharma will be on hand to defend his title.  Netflix will also give everyday people a chance to participate by inviting the submission of video auditions at www.facebook.com (keyword search: Netflix Movie Watching World Championship).  Additional information, including contest rules and other mesmerizing tidbits, can also be found there.

 

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time with competitors assuming their positions in the Netflix Movie Watching Arena, a plexi-glass living room in the center of New York’s Times Square.  Gawkers and passersby will have ample opportunity to cheer on or watch in wonderment as each competitor creatively and, towards the finale, desperately attempts to stave off sleep.

 

“The Netflix Movie Watching World Championship is a showcase for die-hard movie buffs who possess incredible focus and discipline,” said Leslie Kilgore, chief marketing officer for Netflix.  “It combines the love of movies with the thrill of competition at the crossroads of the world.”

 

 

Said Mr. Sharma, the brash, current Guinness World Record holder: “I am the one who is going to win and India will retain this world record.  I will put the fire in the heart of my competitors.”

 

The field of movie watchers includes record holders, as well as rookies to marathon movie watching.  The competitors include:

      Mr. Sharma, who watched movies for 120 hours and 23 minutes in June in Mathura, India, and is traveling to New York for the event.

       Former three-time movie marathon record holder Claudia Wavra of Germany who will attempt to reclaim the title she lost to Mr. Sharma in June.

             Suresh Joachim, a Canadian of Sri Lankan descent, who holds 32 Guinness World Records.  Mr. Joachim is an endurance champion whose records include television viewing (69 hours, 48 minutes), dancing (100 hours), radio dj-ing (120 hours), and ironing (55 hours, 5 minutes), among other disciplines.

              Cheryl Jones of Portland, Ore. who was a part of the team of Netflix members who broke the Guinness World Record for continuous movie watching in 2003.

          Dallas movie buff Jeff Jones who won $250,000 on the movie edition of the popular game show series “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” in 2007.

     

          New York-based competitive eating champion, Crazy Legs Conti, who also happens to be a cinephile with a penchant for ‘80s films, will join the ranks of endurance enthusiasts for a shot at the title. 


    Guinness World Records rules require the contestants to watch films non-stop without averting their eyes from the screen.  Competitors will be given 10 minutes between each movie, or approximately every two hours, to refresh themselves.  Eating, drinking, standing and stretching are allowed as long as eyes are on the screen.  Gourmet, chef crafted popcorn will be provided by Dale and Thomas Popcorn (www.daleandthomas.com) throughout the event.  Medical professionals will monitor the contestants’ conditions throughout the event and assess if contestants are truly “watching” or are simply staring blankly at the screen.

    Fart Football

    An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man
    passes gas and says, “Seven Points.”


    His wife rolls over and says, “What in the world was that?” The old
    man replied, “It’s fart football.”


    A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says “Touchdown, tie score.”


    After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says,
    “Aha. I’m ahead 14 to 7.”


    Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says,
    “Touchdown, tie score.”

    Five seconds go by and shelets out a little squeaker and says,
    “Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.”

    Now the pressure is on the old man.  He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard. Since
    defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he’s got, and
    accidentally poops in the bed.


    The wife says, “What the hell was that?” The old man says, “Half
    time, switch sides.”

    A few thoughts on Life…

    1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do
    not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
    Do not walk beside me either.
    Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

    2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a
    broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

    9. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a

    11. If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

    13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it
    was probably worth it.


    14. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.

    15. Some days you’re the bug; some days you’re the windshield.

    16. Don’t worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

    17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and
    a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

    18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half
    and put it back in your pocket.

    19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

    20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark
    side, and it holds the universe together.

    21. There are two theories to arguing with women.
    Neither one works.

    22. Generally speaking, you! aren’t learning much
    when your lips are moving.

    23. Experience is something you don’t get until
    just after you need it.

    24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

    25. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get
    slapped on our ass. Then things get worse.

    people to make a big deal about your birthday…around age 11.
