Personally, I wish Rifftrax would do more crappy horror movies. It would be awesome if they did the ring. Unfortunately it appears that one unfunny guy is handling them, the one who did the house of wax and others.

The Dark Knight was good. Some gaps in the funny, but then some really great lines. The running "in this scene the part of Rachel Dawes will be played by..." joke was great. And the Batvoice jokes never got old. Brick Hardmeat fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jan 2, 2009 |

Well I got the iRiff "Friday 13th" because it seemed to be getting nothing but praise on Rifftrax.com and just some thoughts for anyone who is thinking of picking it up. First, from a riffing standpoint, it's pretty solid. There were several laugh out loud moments and many of the jokes were ok. The riffers have kind of a cool gimmick and they don't rely on it too much. However, from a technical standpoint, it's an abomination. Their track is so quite that I had to digitally manipulate them to make them louder, but also the movie track to make it softer. And their own track loses sync, I have no idea (aside from sloppiness) how they managed to do that but it made reauthoring annoying and even so my end result sounded de-synced at some points which sucks. Overall, the fact that this riff has a higher score than Incognito Cinema Warriors and riffRaff theaters, both of which have awesome iRiffs, smells like shenanigans to me.

I have a question for those of you who author their own DVDs to sync up their Rifftrax. What programs do you use to split up a movie to its source audio and video files when ripping the DVD? I've been using DVD Decrypter for a while and its been working pretty well except for some newer movies where it can't read though its encryption method. I'm also curious to what is a good reauthoring program. I currently use IFO edit and even that doesn't seem to work all the time. My current best method is DVD Decrypter, BeLight/Besweet, Audacity, IFO edit, DVD shrink, then finally Nero. I'm curious to see what other programs any of you may be using to see if I can improve upon this system a little better.

The process is such a huge pain. If there was some way of getting Rifftrax integrated with Netflix instant streaming (for a fee of course), I would be in heaven.

If IFO edit has a problem then I switch it over to a lighter program known as muxman. However, muxman doesn't handle subtitles very well, but IFO edit also doesn't really do that great of a job either so :/ (subtitle ripping still seems more of an art than a science).

New short is up - Shy Guy. Features a very young and socially awkward Dick York (the first Darrin on Bewitched). Soon to be followed by the Self-Conscious Guy.

The new short is really, really great. I couldn't stop laughing at "Oh no, Dad drugged me!" and the callback later on "Bob drugged my malt!" Although the funniest part came from the short itself. The main character and his father had moved to a new town and the teenager can't make any friends because he's an outsider. Father: I had quite the time making friends in a new office where everyone knew each other. Son: What'd you do Dad? Father: Well, that's beside the point, son.

I watched The Star Wars Holiday Special and I loved it. Up there amongst my favorites. I usually hate when the Riffers have conversations amongst themselves ("You know Mike, something similar happened to me once..."), but the Holiday Special was so bad that I welcomed their dialogue, as though it assured me, "Yes, this is god awful, come on, we can get through it..." The riffing on the special was good on its own, but it was eclipsed by the riffs on the interspersed commercials. Nearly each break left me gasping for air from laughing so much. Old commercials are weird.

"Operation Gratitude will begin with the annexation of Peru."

Not even Rifftrax could make the Star Wars Holiday Special good for me. I had to watch it in two separate sittings, and even then it was hard to resist just turning it off because it's that loving bad. I guess it would've helped if I knew the SWHS was two hours long though, and it was funny to see commercials from my local CBS affiliate from 30 years ago.

So, this is as good a place as any to ask. As a first time viewer of the Star Wars Holiday Special, I have question that was pointedly brought up in a riff the second it came to my mind: WHAT DID BOBA FETT OR THE EMPIRE GAIN FROM THAT LITTLE ANIMATED ADVENTURE, WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY CANON?! Two of the Empire's greatest foes incapacitated with nothing to stop you from killing the Wookiee and capturing them and... You give them an antidote for their illness and fly off. Friend.

Pay close attention around 20:26 (at least, in the on demand version). There are 2 frames spliced into the movie. The first reads '4' and the second '20.' Nice. edit: They make a joke about the smoking Kramer-esque guy being the 5th Marx brother, which struck me as a little odd. There already are 5 Marx brothers. Groucho, Chico, Zeppo, Harpo, and Gummo. I don't think I've ever heard them get a reference wrong before.

fenix down posted:That's not really wrong in respect to the Marx Bros. films though. The exception would be if footage of Gummo at a vaudeville show exists... (highly unlikely?) Well, sure, Gummo wasn't in any of the movies, but that doesn't really make him any less of a Marx brother. I mean, he was still alive and well during that time, he just didn't star with the others. I would have called him the 6th Marx

It was pretty cool. They had problems though, the first attempt the stream crapped out a couple minutes into the short and they had to get things working again and start over. They appear to still be having some problems, their entire website isn't working.

gently caress, I'm sorry RiffTrax, I didn't mean to jinx your site in the other thread about the live show when I jokingly said "I hope they're back up by tomorrow". Please come back up soon so I can give you some money and make amends.
