Welcome to my page about the Hollow Manathon! You're probably wondering "what is the Hollow Manathon", "what are the rules" and other such questions. Well:

The Hollow Manathon is all about endurance. Each applicant MUST watch Hollow Man, in its entirety (no fast forwarding) at least once per day. The only time one is allowed to miss a viewing is for a family vacation, in which case they must watch Hollow Man twice for each viewing missed.

Mr. Spiffy: "I am so fucked . . . "



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.
