LURKER / KWON, I agree with ya about that 1904 Marathon story and as soon as I read Lurker's input I sent it to a good friend who writes movie scripts for major Hollywood productions whom I been working with in an attempt to develope new ideas for possible production consideration instead of these repeats we have been hearing about or seeing lately.

And then I continued reading and realized that some more  GetBiggers have submitted other great material that may be of interest in La-La Land.

I'll do my best to keep you submitters advised if anything developes such as a professionally written scipt or any possible motion picture interest.






Btw, why is it called La-La Land?

Due to a lot of singing and dancing back in the day?

When we get our starring roles because of this thread, I'll handle the shirtless action scenes and bedding the leading lady.... you do what you can with the singing, twirling,  and show tunes part....

The longest piano piece of any kind is Vexations by Erik Satie.

It consists of a 180-note composition which, on the composer's orders, must be repeated 840 times so that the whole performance is 18 hours 40 minutes. Its first reported public performance in September 1963, in the Pocket Theater, New York City, required a relay team of 10 pianists.

The New York Times critic fell asleep at 4 a.m. and the audience dwindled to 6 masochists. At the conclusion, one sadomasochist shouted: "'Encore!"
