They currently have a poll going to see what fans would like them to riff at this summer's live event: http://polldaddy.com/poll/3266003/ Our choices are: 1962's Jack the Giant Killer or the cult classic, Reefer Madness.

On a whim I grabbed the Stooges collections, and, well the first one was ok, even if it was a little Shemp-heavy. The second one, not so great seeing as all the footage was cobbled from intros to the old Stooges cartoon. So, the first one: Worth it. The Second one: Take a pass.

Then I saw there were like 6 shorts DVDs. Is there overlap on these DVDs? Or can I buy them all and have 6 disks with all different shorts on each? Or do I dare dream for a "Complete Shorts Vol #" collection some point in the future?

Plavski posted:Why would people want to see Reefer Madness riffed again? They've already done it twice... Three times. The colorized non-Rifftrax DVD had a Mike commentary, then there was the (slightly different) Rifftrax Brand Mike-only DVD/Download, then there was the three-riffer Rifftrax version. This would make the fourth time Mike has written a commentary for Reefer Madness if it were to win.

Reefer madness isn't even half as terrible and bizarre as Maniac or Narcotic in any case.

fenix down posted:I've been meaning to watch that - what's your prognosis? Maybe it was because they cut some really important parts out of the TV edit or something, but there were just several WTF parts that seem to have absolutely no bearing on the movie, and the ending is probably the WTFest of all. Also, lots and lots of blue filter.

I would guess they're trying to riff movies that lots of people already have. People who aren't rifftrax nuts probably make their shopping decision based on what movies they already have, not on what riff looks the funniest.

My method to buying DVDs is only if it's 9 dollars or less, so thanks to Rifftrax, I also own a few Harry Potters as well as The Happening. No way in hell I'm going to own a copy of Twilight, though.

CrumFUNist! posted:I don't think a lot of people owned The Room or Troll 2. But they're also massive cult hits with bad movie nerds. You know, their target demographic. Those are easy sellers for hardcore fans. And I really want to see some numbers on how they sell individually. I assume the Star Trek, Star Wars and Harry Potter movies were huge sellers because they crank those things out. Also, the Shorts come out pretty quickly. They must make a mint off of those if they put them out so fast.

Netflix was used for the Twilight movies. I like to think that I seriously upset some Twitard because I scored New Moon on like the day after release and they had to wait for the copy I had out.

From they way they've been releasing these things, it's clear that they go for their audience's maximum ease of obtaining or the maximum chance of owning a particular movie. So the list goes -New releases (because they are easy to buy or rent) -Genre classics (because most people will already own it) -Only then whatever obscure movie they think would be funniest. And they have to anticipate lower sales for the last one.

I would love for them to tackle more of the 70s/80s shorts like Shake Hands with Danger or Seatbelts or Drugs Are Like That. Drugs Are Like That has to be the funniest short they've done. "Original music by Charles Manson."

Thankfully, Hollywood Video went out of business and real proof that I rented it is gone forever. I had to buy Troll 2 and Over the Top.

Got around to watching D-War. Holy crap that was bad. I think they blew all their money on CGI and forgot to pay the guy who makes the plot make sense. Awesome riffs though - Bruce will be fine, Bruce is always fine.

I watched that movie and the rifftrax with two friends of mine and about a week later we got into a heated argument if they had actually been awake the whole time or if they had fallen asleep. Their position was, nothing made sense, all the editing was random, and they couldn't recall the plot. I argued that was the movie.
