Plavski posted:I think it's more to do with the fact that there's basically no plot and they had to get a 90 minute runtime somehow. Yeah I'm honestly a little puzzled as to what the point of that movie was. If I've got it right, it was basically: Edward: I love you bella whoops I'm a vampire and that's suddenly a problem now, bye Jacob: I love you bella whoops I'm a werewolf gotta go Edward: I'm back for some reason but I think you're dead because you jumped off a cliff for some reason and I want to die Edward: Oh ok you're not dead but now I have to turn you into a vampire because of old gay men, also marry me *credits* edit: Remembered another favorite line: "Kissing is kind of like wifi, you just have to be in the general vicinity and it counts" Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 07:48 on May 10, 2010 |

^^^ Somewhere in the middle there's Bella going "Hey Jacob my vampire boyfriend dumped me so I totally love you now, oh no wait he's back I never loved you sorry", otherwise yeah that's it.Plavski posted:Looking forward to the Goblet though, especially considering it's the first big Twilight/Harry Potter crossover with old Foot-Face an' all. Have they actually referred to his face as looking like a foot at any point? Because they do make an awful lot of jokes based on internet memes or SA references.

New Moon riff had a good point - in Italy where they were leading all the people (including children) to their deaths from vampires. What kind of crazy bitch is Bella?

Oh yeah, that was another great riff; "again, the local police must encourage all tourists not to go on tours in that castle, where tour groups have been getting mysteriously murdered on a regular basis" Or something like that.

They didn't mention this during the Quidditch match in the first HP, and it's something that always bugged me: WHY do the rest of the team even bother playing when the win all hinges on catching the snitch anyway, rendering all that effort meaningless? They could all just sit on the ground and play poker and let the seekers do their thing for half an hour. I was disappointed, kept waiting for them to bring it up and they didn't. I hope they do in the later ones.  CommanderApaul posted:Kevin:: So, you supervillain types really go for childish word games, huh? I don't get it

Watching the trailer for Robin Hood leads me to believe it will be excellent riffing fodder if only for the line, "I declare him to be an outLAWWWWWW!".

In the very first novel it's pretty much played as a joke, introducing this whole complicated game with all this different terminology and such and then rendering it all meaningless with the arbitrary winning conditions. It's just that it subsequently lost the humor once people started actually taking Quidditch seriously in the movies/sequels.

Then they (Rowling, fans, media) tried to turn that adorable silly world into something more serious and realistic and it just failed on so many levels. Still wished they'd mention how retarded Quidditch scoring is though. But anyway. I've decided that my favourite Rifftrax, not including shorts, are the older classics from the 50s and earlier, the B&W ones like House On Haunted Hill and Night Of The Living Dead. Have they done any other ones like these?

I rather like the "Little House of Horrors" Rifftrax when I rented it from Netflix. Had some really good riffs there.

Since all those films are public domain they sell pre-synced video versions for about $10. Out of those Voodoo Man is probably the best as it has Bela Lugosi, John Carradine and "voodoo" that has no ethnic people at all.

Basically just a joke on the accents of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. Whenever the names Magneto or Cerebro popped up, they'd shoot back with the opposite. No real joke except a callback to the X-Men riffs. Kevin tried to join in and Mike and Bill shot him down in a later riff. "No! Our joke! Not for Kevin!"

The sample for GoF is online now........and it looks like this will be the best Potter riff yet. "The Durmstrang Champion is...Viktor Krum!" Bill: "His father Salacious Crumb will be soooo proud!!"

Favorite lines: From The Sixth Sense, after the "twist" there's a long period of silence. "We'll give you a minute to explain to the girl you're only dating for her body what just happened."

Yes, but it also has a Chuck Norris joke. Despite that, it's very funny. But I've always liked the Harry Potter riffs.
