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 #22 - The Italian Job (1969)

Andy: “Oscar introduced me a week or so ago to CEX, a British chain of used DVD, CD, and electronics store. I realized that, while I have seen the part of the new Italian Job that takes place in my old dorm, I have yet to see either one. Ergo, I decided to start with the good one.”

Andy: The name’s Job. Italian Job. (0:00)

Oscar: Woah. Music by Quincy Jones. (0:02)

Andy: Man, roads are better in Europe.
Stacey: Yeah, if you drift here you fall right down a cliff.
Andy: Yeah… I like it. (0:03)

Jackie: What?
Oscar: I guess that guy wasn’t our hero. (0:04)

Andy: Woah. Michael Caine is so young… (0:05)

Oscar: Tonight has just been full of fantastic hats. (0:07)

Andy: Woah, Caine has been in 134 movies and shows. He had already done nearly 50 before doing this.
Oscar: Yeah, my dad once called him the Christopher Lloyd of his time. (0:10)

Andy: It’s like the room in 99 34/100% Dead! (0:12)

Oscar: I’m pretty sure this movie is a big part of the reason why he was cast as Austin Powers’ dad. (0:14)

Oscar: Man, Michael Caine is annoying to watch movies with. (0:16)

Jackie: Looks like the…
Andy: The One Hour Photo room. (0:24)

Oscar: I want Michael Caine’s apartment. (0:25)

Andy: You can tell they’re the law. They’ve got white ascots. (0:26)

Andy: Man, I so want to be on Michael Caine’s team. (0:33)

Andy: Wait, is Mr. Bridger a prisoner?
Oscar: I think he’s the warden? Or maybe he is…
Andy: He is. He’s a mafia boss. (0:36)

Andy: Man, I want to be on the ship “Free Enterprise 1” with Michael Caine. (0:43)

Oscar: They’re just waiting for Bonnie & Clyde. (0:44)

Andy: I bet this was more intimidating in the script.
Oscar: He’s going to sell it to Franz now! (0:47)

Jackie: zzz… (0:50)

Oscar: Now that bike is a pipe bomb. (0:50)

Andy: Man, you could do this all on a flash drive now. (0:52)

Oscar: This movie’s pretty intensely British.
Andy: Yeah, what with the Rule Britannia and such. (0:57)

Andy: I think I would have fired Arthur. I don’t think he would have made the team. (1:09)

Andy: Stacey, awake?
Silence.
Andy: Jackie, awake?
Silence.
Andy: Guess it’s just you and me now, Oscar.
Oscar: Alright. (1:14)

Andy: I really don’t understand how Cooper doesn’t use this for every one of their car commercials. Also, I like how they’re red, white, and blue. (1:17)

Oscar: Well, they all seem pretty non-chalant about it.
Andy: They’re Italians! Ciao! (1:19)

Andy: There have been, like, no guns fired. In this whole movie. (1:20)

Andy: I think Michael Caine needs to listen to more of the “Self Preservation Society.” (1:37)

Andy: Really? The movie ends like that?
Stacey: Yup.


 

Stacey: Mini Coopers look like fun. Everyone should try one. 1 Shitload of Gold.

Oscar: I’d really like to spend a day hanging out with Michael Caine, provided we don’t take the bus. 2 Obese Prostitutes.

Andy: I can’t say for sure, but I’m almost certain the British treat this movie the same way we treat Top Gun. 3 Mini Coopers - Red, White, and Blue.

Jackie: zzzzzzzzzzz… 1 Nap.
