Tentatively planned for Thursday, March 19 as of now. The idea here is to just post whatever you want during the movie. If you want to go the MSTK3K route, that's cool. If you just want to point out really incredible scenes, also cool. Hopefully, it'll be fun. We'll see I guess. The only rule that I really feel like throwing out there is just be cool to everyone else who is participating. Some light razzing in the general spirit of the Swamp is fine.

I must have a copy on DVD somewhere here...
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.
Re: Inaugural Swamp Quarantine Movie Night! - Point Break (1991)
I thought so too, but I'm going to have to rent it. Considering I haven't spent money on anything in a week, think I can swing the $3. (BTW, it is NOT available for two-day delivery on Amazon Prime. I checked.)

Watched Ferris Bueller last night with the kids (12 & 9). They enjoyed it very much.
They’ve watched Ghostbusters, a couple of the Back to the Futures before.
Coming up Teen Wolf, the Rocky movies (perfect timing to unveil the catalog), The Natural, Field of Dreams.
Many more I’m sure. Our schools are currently closed for two weeks and it’s going to go longer than that - perhaps much longer.

Wish this was tonight. I got a hotel room to myself and a nearly full bottle of whiskey.

I was going to DVR Point Break on Thursday morning on the Syfy network, but I just saw that it is the inferior 2015 version. So, I'm going to pull it down on DirecTV OnDemand.

A couple things I'm gonna throw back out before this thing starts:
Due to an injury, Patrick Swayze could not surf in the movie "Point Break". In addition to having a surfing double, in all close-up scenes of Swayze surfing, he was actually riding a jet-ski.
Prior to casting Anthony Kiedis in "Point Break," Kathryn Bigelow offered the role to Henry Rollins.

I almost watched it earlier today so I could "be ready" to watch it tonight, but I've seen it enough I doubt it would matter.

I guess we should pick a spot in the intro to the film to sync up with each other?

Re: Inaugural Swamp Quarantine Movie Night! - Point Break (1991) 9 pm TONIGHT!
Adapted a couple of drinking games to make a mostly Busey-centric one.
Drink every time:
-The word "Utah" is said
-Johnny's football past is mentioned
-Johnny is called rookie/kid/young
-Gary Busey wears a new shirt
Current Events Bonus - a Corona is shown
Finish your drink when:
-Johnny fires his gun into the air in frustration
Finish your drink and immediately get a new one when:
-Busey says “TWO”

Has everyone participating seen it already?
I know Giff mentioned he hasn't, but anyone else?

I haven't seen it since then! (So, it'll be somewhat new again to me. I remember the basic plot, but that's about all.)

One of them said just have the youngest and oldest participants chug.

You could also drink anytime someone refers to Busey as being old in some way.

In my head, when I think about quitting everything just to write Point Break fan fiction, I envision that his actual given name is Jonathan James Utah II

Do you think he really went to law school or is that just fake for the undercover backstory? Could be either.

Oh, absolutely. Went to law school, but realizes he's just too bored doing it, so he turns to law enforcement.

Quality on this DVD is shit. If not for the widescreen this would feel pretty 90s.
