The Thread of Gaming Randomness

[Ikariniku]

I visited my mother today and she was watching a Christmas movie from 1996 called A Different Kind of Christmas starring Shelley Long and Barry Bostwick.  I didn't pay much attention, but all of a sudden I heard the familiar sound of DK Island Swing.  I look, and Barry Bostwick and the child lead are playing Donkey Kong Country on an SNES. 

Barry and the kid talk about the game nonspecifically ("Is your mom any good at this game?"  "She stinks!"), and, amazingly, Barry's use of the controller looked natural and appropriate, not flailing and obviously fake as is often the case.  Just a weird gaming moment injected into my day.
