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.

Andy: Here we go. (0:00)

Oscar: It’s Bart Simpson! (0:00)

Aaron: this takes place at my orthodontist’s office. (0:00)

Oscar: There’s probably a joke to be made somewhere with “Power Screw.” (0:01)

Jackie: It’s Mike O’Malley and Michael Cera! (0:02)

Aaron: I hope they keep this in the plural first tense.
Oscar: Are we going to watch the whole haircut? (0:03)

Jackie: Did that just happen?
Oscar: Somewhere you could market this as a fetish video. (0:04)

Andy: Clipper across column? Is that what they’re saying?
Jackie & Oscar: Comb.
Andy: Clipper across comb?! That sucks.
Oscar: Yeah, they could come up with a snappier title. (0:05)

Oscar: I’m just afraid this is going to turn into Un chien andalou. (0:06)

Andy: “We want to grow up to be a debaser, don’t we?” (0:06)

Andy: Oooh, that guy does not look good.
Aaron: That’s uneven! They totally missed a spot! (0:07)

Jackie: The flat top is one of the most popular cuts of our time!?
Bethany: If our time is 1992. (0:07)

Andy: Naw, keep the rat tail! That’ll be cool when you’re a scenester in a few years! (0:08)

We all cried out when they cut the rat tail.

Aaron: Kris Kross!
Oscar: It is 1992! (0:10)

Oscar: Andy Warhol’s Haircut. (0:16)

Aaron: This is called the “clippers across the fingers” technique.
Bethany: Too bad fixing the roots wasn’t part of this haircut. (0:17)

Aaron: Hey, remember pan flute? (0:17)
