Like running a marathon. Only, not the running part.

When we were freshmen, Dana and I had movie nights every week (we didn't have social lives, ok? Obviously that's changed...for at least one of us). Most of these nights started with us discussing what we'd watch and ended with us watching her Clean Flix copy of Zoolander (it was a lot shorter than the normal Zoolander. About an hour shorter). We also planned a lot of marathons. We'd get it into our heads that we'd watch all of the Disney movies we possessed between the two of us, or all of the Will Ferrell movies. We planned a lot of these marathons.

In all the planning we did, and the big talks we had, our marathons usually went downhill. Sure, we'd start our marathon. We'd watch Elf, but then deviate from good ol' Will and pop in Back to the Future.

Except for one glorious night.

The only marathon we ever actually finished.

The one with our good friend

ZAC EFRON

(No, Zacky Zac was not attending, I agree, that would have made the marathon infinitely better.)

Although, taking in the time frame, this picture would probably better depict the night:

For 8 hours, Dana and I basked in his glory. We watched The Derby Stallion, Hairspray, High School Musical, and High School Musical 2 (This was actually quite a feat. It wasn't out on DVD yet, so we had to find it on Tudou. That's how dedicated we were).

So why am I telling you this, nearly 4 years after the fact?

Because, tonight I got the sudden urge to have another night with Zac. Granted, there would be several more movies to add to the mix. High School Musical 3, Me and Orson Welles, 17 Again, and Charlie St. Cloud.

Zac has been slightly busy.

Maybe I'll just go watch HSM and be slightly sated.

AND, speaking of my good friend Zachary, you should all watch this video, because it may be the best piece of cinematography a Disney Channel Original Movie ever achieved. Thank you Kenny Ortega.
