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 #11 - King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Andy: “I got this online a week or so ago. I really wanted to see this when it came out but was other preoccupied. This is going to be how I describe at least four movie in the stack.”

Stacey: “It sounds like King Kong is going to do his laundry. I wonder how accurate that is.”

Oscar: “Not very.”

Stacey: This is pretty amazing. (0:02)

Jackie: It’s the arcade game pack from Windows 95! (0:03)

Andy: He’s a hot sauce maker?
Oscar: Yeah.
Jackie: Awesome. (0:08)

Andy: There’s something extra-awesome about using The Cure in the soundtrack. (0:11)

Andy: This is just neat. (0:16)

It’s pretty quiet here. We’re really enjoying this.

Andy: I’m sure he gave himself the nickname “Mr. Awesome.”
Oscar: Oh, you have no idea about Mr. Awesome. (0:25)

Andy: I think I know Miss Winnipesaukee.
Oscar: Probably
Jackie: Where is Funspot?
Oscar: Weirs Beach I think.
Andy: South shore i think?
Jackie: We should go. Just to watch. (0:34)
Editors note: Funspot is in Weirs Beach, but The town is on the northwest shore, just north of Laconia.

Jackie: I really hope he gets it so they shut the fuck up. They’re so pretentious. Bill Mitchell and his cronies? Dickheads. (0:37)

Andy: I captured your rant there, by the way.
Jackie: Haha, awesome
Andy: We’ve been really quiet this time. I made an editors note about it.
Oscar: It’s a catch. The better the movie, the worse the post. (0:42)

Jackie: He’s just trying to be The Dude here. (0:42)

All: Ahhh! (0:47)

The tapes fell over!

(I can’t capture this in a direct quote, but Jackie is yelling whenever Billy appears or is mentioned) (0:49)

(Now we All are yelling at Billy) (0:56)

Andy: Yeeeeeaaaahhhh! (0:59)

Jackie: They’re doing this in Billy’s hometown? Did Billy do this?
Andy: Probably not. It’s not clear if Billy’s going to show up.
Jackie: Why here then?
Andy: Have you ever been to Winnipesaukee in April? (1:03)

Andy: This is an awesome movie! I think this is the best thing we’ve seen since High School Confidential. (1:06)

Andy: You know, when this started I kinda liked Billy. He was a geek and all that. But Billy’s an asshole. (1:07)

Jackie: Billy needs to grow. a. pair. (1:08)

Andy: Awww, now he’s talking in the third person! (1:10)

Andy: I love it! The camera crew did such a good job with this shot. (1:11)

Stacey: You know, he probably doesn’t need many quarters. (1:15)

Jackie: Ah-ha!
Andy: Yes! yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! (1:21)


 

Stacey: This is what every seventh-grader aspires to be. But it should be what you aspire to be. 1 Quarter. 2 and a Half Hours.

Andy: I will strive to live the rest of life in manner akin to Steve Wiebe. 1,049,100 Points.

Oscar: It’s a well done documentary, that makes the phrase, “there’s a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up,” sound ominous and significant. U. S. A.

Jackie: Epic. Just epic. Can My Rating Be “Bill Mitchell Is A Tool?”
