Endless Feature

We love movies. We love them far too much. We love them so much sometimes we buy them and don’t even get around to watching them. This summer, we plan to remedy that. We grabbed all the movies we own and haven’t seen, randomly selected them through a complicated "lay them on the floor and throw a clothespin" technique. Now we will watch, liveblog, reflect, and record our experience.

4 kids. 97 movies.
1 summer in search of the perfect wave. And by "wave" we mean campy cult film.

Episode #7 - Detour

Oscar: “I found this movie for a dollar at 7 Eleven not long after we moved in here. Uuum…. yeah.”

Andy: I like how this is a detour from watching the other movie we were going to watch. (0:00)

Jackie: Wow, this is an awesome transfer. Did they do this with a handheld camera? (0:00)

Oscar: Aw, fuck.
Jackie: Is this going to be another movie that we can’t see what’s going on?
Oscar: Well, it is Film Noir.
Andy: Ugh.
Stacey: Oh wait, that’s a car! (0:02)

Jackie & Stacey: Change for a dime?! (0:03)

Oscar: Freak o’ Dawn! (0:07)

Andy: Man, Ray Liotta is sour grapes.
Jackie: They’re disembodied hands. Thing is playing.
Stacey: Notice you never see his hands?
Jackie: Why, no. I hadn’t noticed.
Stacey: What song is he playing?
Oscar: This is like one of those shred movies. (0:12)

Oscar: This is like Sin City narration.
Stacey:
All the cars are backwards!
Jackie: This was shot in Europe… now the driver’s on the left. What the hell?
Stacey: Now I don’t know where they are.
Oscar: Maybe they flipped the negative?
Jackie: They can do that?
Oscar: Yeah.
Jackie: Why would they do that?
Andy: Maybe they wanted to show him going west.
Stacey: That’s a pretty lousy way to do it.
Andy: Yeah… I would have them, you know, drive left. (0:16)

Jackie: 40s douchebag! (0:21)

Andy: This guy loves him some metaphors. (0:24)

Oscar: It’s my horse’s head! (0:29)

Oscar: If you ever see me fall silent for a while, it’s because I’m narrating internally like this. (0:31)

Andy: She answers questions the way you answer questions, Oscar.
Stacey: With more questions? (0:35)

Oscar: Aw, man.
Jackie: No way. (0:36)

Andy: I’m totally adopting Charlie Haskil as one of my pseudonyms. (0:38)

Stacey (at his computer): There’s a better transfer of this online!
Oscar: On archive.org! (0:43)

Stacey: Must… grip… glass… with all might!
Andy: Oh, nice liquor-bottle time lapse. (0:44)

Andy: Ooh, from the liquor bottle fade to the pack of cigarettes fade! (0:46)

Oscar: This is the second drive up diner we’ve seen in this thing.
Andy: I liked the Prom Night one better. (0:55)

Andy: Alright. This movie has 13 minutes to conclude itself. (0:55)

Oscar: People need to talk like this more.
Andy: I think this guy went on to go to Micro Machines commercials. (0:58)

Jackie: Unplug the phone! Unplug the phone dude! Just fuckin do it!  From the other end!
Stacey: He’s… strangling her? (1:03)

Andy: Is this one of those “don’t let this happen to you” endings? (1:03)

Andy: He thinks he’s much more impressionable than he actually is. (1:04)

Jackie: Um, wow.
Stacey: Fun! (1:07)
