The
Record:
Angry Midget:
Day: One Report: Haven't seen it in a while, still interested in it. No problems on viewing or boredom, no eye
problems yet. Starting to get a feel for the lines, but nothing memorized yet. Still forgetting minor plot points, can't recall
all events from the movie. Some things still catch me off guard, still forget pieces of the ending.
Day: Two Report:
Still interesting, nothing catches me offguard anymore. I rememeber everything, starting to learn the words, but not very
well, all minor plot points and deaths are fresh in my mind. Still no viewing probles, no boredom, no sore eyes.
Day:
Three Report: Learning the words surprisingly slowly, usually I'd have more memorized by now. Barely interested in the
plot anymore, at least the violence is pretty good, and the invisibility effects are fun to watch. The sheer stupidity of
characters means nothing anymore, but the plot holes continue to bother me, like his super strength, tranquilizer guns that
shoot pipes in half, etc. I'm sure that I'll finish the Manathon though.
Day: Four Report: Really picking up on
the words now, I can only speak some lines along with the movie. Really starting to get bored, realizing that it was a horrible
idea to select Hollow Man. Continuity errors and plot holes now stick out like sore thumbs, so horribly obvious, I wonder
how the filmmakers could miss them. The violence is the only thing keeping me going. I am now starting to think what I would
do with that sort of freedom.
Day: Five Report: I can speak about a third of the movie lines along with it, starting
to get pissed off at the sub-par acting and numerous errors. If it weren't for the violence, I would be going insane by now.
Really starting to fantasize about what I could do with that sort of freedom and power, but then those thoughts are gotten
rid of and replaced with anger at the stupid people in the movie.
Day: Six Report: Christ, I can speak entire
scenes in advance, and it's pissing me right the FUCK off! The movie has crappy acting, which is rare for Kevin Bacon. Elizabeth
Shue is horrible, none of the people are likable, hatable, or anything inbetween, they just suck. I don't even think about
what I would do with that power beyond kicking everyone involved in this movie square in the balls . . . even the women .
. . that's right, you heard me right . . . or, rather saw what I typed. . .
Day: Seven Report: I hate this movie
now. I can speak almost every line with it, it's starting to invade into my personal life. I'm starting to quote it at random
moments (appropriate moments, but still) and I feel like I'm going to smash my disc. I WILL make it to the end of the Manathon,
but I will never watch the movie again after that. I hate it, I hate it. At least I'm doing better than Mr. Spiffy.
Day:
Eight Report: I can speak every line with the movie, and it's infuriating. The acting sucks, the plot sucks, the entire
thing's basically one big plot hole! I'm quoting random pieces of it, and it pisses me off! The only thing good about the
movie is the fact that the visuals are nice, and even they're getting old! Not even the violence is interesting anymore! It's
just horrible! My eyes are still fine, but I'm going a tad insane.
Day: Nine Report: Oh god . . . it hurts. The
movie is so painfully boring, the plot is hollow, the lines are repetitive, the characters suck, it all SUCKS! The entire
movie is filled with the same filler, it takes over an hour for it to get even midly interesting! GAH!
Day:
Ten Report: I hate this movie. I hate every minute of it. It's horrible. It's invading my life. It's pissing me off. Going
insane. Vision . . . fine.
Day: Eleven Report: Mr. Spiffy is out, but I still have to take it to day fifteen for
it to be an official power watch marathon. After day fifteen, I am never watching this movie ever again. EVER! I hate it!
It's so . . . horrible. . . can't . . . make . . . sentances . . . blinded . . . by . . . hatred! GUH BUH!
Day: Twelve
Report: Oh my god this movie sucks. It's getting into my dreams now, which isn't so bad, because a lot of the time it
ends in a bazooka appearing in my hands, and me kerploding (I don't quite know what a kerplosion is, but you can bet your
balls it's really badass) Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Shue, and everyone else in the movie.
Day: Thirteen Report: Killed
Kevin Bacon in my dreams again. It just won't stop. It's wasting my time, invading my dreans, invading my personal life, it's
horrible! I am never watching this movie again. Ever. If someone asks if I've seen Hollow Man, or if I want to watch Hollow
Man, I'm going to punch them.
Day: Fourteen Report: Kept my promise. A friend of mine asked if I had seen Hollow
Man (he didn't know anything about the Manathon) so I punched him in the chest and sent him into a wall. Got two hours of
sleep last night. And the night before that. It's the movie. I blame the movie.
Day: Fifteen Report: Last day,
I'm going insane, I'm not just mouthing the words, I'm saying them, with perfect timing, every time. I'm pointing out every
plot hole and goof to myself. I swear, if anyone talks about Hollow Man in the next month, I'm going to kick them in the face.
Mr. Spiffy:
Day: One Report: Well I can't for the life of me remember their names but the movie's not too bad. I think I
could last for a while yet. The movie isn't too bad, The invisiblity effects are always fun. Man, I wonder what I would do
with that kind of power.
Day: Two Report: Man, this movie is boring. I refuse to back out. Besides it's at least
still fun to watch the invisible man get torched, then electrocuted, and then torched again. Man, the fun I could have with
that kind of power...
Day: Three Report: Well the movie is getting fairly repetitive, But it has some fun visual
effects so at least I can still enjoy those. I really want to know where the fuck they got those dart guns! C'mon it has enough
seditave to drop a gorilla and all it does is put that dumb bitch to sleep. THEN he shoots a damn metal pipe IN HALF! Christ.
Ever notice Sebastion is superhuman?
Day: Four Report: Well so far the movie is wearing quite thin. I'm really
getting sick and tired of the overly powerful dart gun. Seriously, what the fuck? Well in any case the movie is still interesting
enough to kill some time. I would SO rather be gaming.
Day: Five Report: Still can't name any of the characters.
Only one I know the name of is Sebastion. Don't know why. I'm going to have to pay closer attention. In any case the people
in this movie are retarted. Why the fuck would you EVER take off your thermals? Honestly. But in any case this movie is getting
real old REAL fast. Definately not a good choice for a marathon. Next time I think I'm going to go with Final Destination.
Day: Six Report: This movie sucks. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. After this marathon I'm going to go to the
nearest movie store, buy every copy of this movie and have a fucking bonfire. Crappy movie, crappy concept, crappy acting,
crappy bad guy. Only thing good about this movie is the visuals, and even those are getting old. God damn.
Day: Seven
Report: Man this movie just sucks pure ass. Nothing else can really be said. I really doubt I'll make it to day 15.
Day:
Eight Report: I swear to god. If people dont stop quoting that damn Superman Wonderwoman joke im going to just start ripping
out peoples throats. This is getting bad. Im actually finding myself screaming at the movie. Shit like "DONT DO THAT YOU FUCK
HEAD!" or "JUST SHOOT THE FUCKER!" Thankfully the random quotes haven't stared. yet....
Day: Nine Report: Ok now
it's invading my dreams. The ONE time I'm having a decent dream that isn't a nightmare. Im sitting there hanging out with
some of my friends playing some awesome laser quest WHEN KEVIN BACON COMES IN AND STARTS CAMPING ME! I woke up so pissed off
I started just ranting. I'm starting to go insane. But at least im not quoting like Angry Midget. I still have that....
Day:
Ten Report: Didn't get to watch it.
Day: Eleven Report: Officially out.
The winner, by taking
it for the longest, is, of course, Matt the Angry Midget. Though Dennis Spiffy fought valiantly, he couldn't take the Manathon
for long enough.
Boldly Going Nowhere.
