Harry Knowles’ Butt-Numb-a-thon

NR Directed by Harry Knowles.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Dec. 7, 2000

Butt-Numb-A-Thon is an endurance event designed by Ain't It Cool head geek Harry Knowles for film phreaks citywide. In order to celebrate his birthday and raise funds for the free Saturday Morning Kids Film Club, Knowles has tackled the dual objectives head-on with this all-night event. It begins at noon on Saturday and continues with 24 hours of films until it concludes at noon on Sunday. The event is already sold out.
