Contest over, but a further clue to our next big Rifftrax (to be announced next week): one riff is "Eat ghost, bitches!"

I'd say it's probably Return of the King.

That'd be a good riff actually, along the same lines as Casablanca.

It's a wonderful film, but takes itself really seriously. The only problem I can forsee is its talkiness; not much space to riff in.

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAH

edit: this is the best movie poster they've done, especially Sauron with googly eyes



and the description is just loving perfect

quote:

One of the hardest things to do with a popular series is to give it the conclusion it deserves. Some of the greatest entertainment phenomenons of our time, be it The Sopranos, Lost or Hi Honey, I'm Home! have failed to give fans the closure that they, as uninvolved spectators watching at home for free, feel they are entitled to. The Lord of The Rings series, on the other hand has mastered the art of delivering a satisfying conclusion. And The Return of The King does it so well, in fact, that it decides to end seven or eight times.

The final chapter of one of the most beloved trilogies of all time finds our characters picking up where they left off. Frodo and Sam continue onwards towards Mt. Doom, despite Frodo increasingly appearing to Sam as a walking roast turkey. Aragorn faces down one of lifes toughest questions: whether to embrace his true destiny, or to combine three flavors of Combos into one bag and lay on the couch with his shirt off eating them. Gimli and Legolas have started an organic dog biscuit bakery in Vermont. And Mushmouth is futilely trying to convince the gang to make him the Buck Buck breaker instead of Fat Albert.

All the while, the fearsome Eye of Sauron is observing their movements in a style that can best be described as "pretty funny when you really think about it." There's also drunken table dancing, Elven poetry and a spider proboscis that you would best be served to never think about if you're ever considering venturing into the outdoors again.

The journey through Cirith Ungol is never an easy one, so it's best to join up with Mike, Kevin and Bill, who have their very own Light of Earendil*, tin of pipeweed**, and satchel of Lembas Bread***

*Can of Raid

**Big League Chew

***Bag of combos with three different flavors of Combos combined in it

If it's a bad blockbuster I'm down with it, like Twilight or Transformers, but if the movie is actually good then the riff does nothing for me, like Iron Man. Also, is there any reason there haven't been as many releases lately? By this time into last year we had 13 riffs, but in 2010 we've only had 7.

I've noticed they've been aligning riff releases with DVD releases, which makes me hope a Clash of the Titans riff is due at the end of July.

I'm surprised they haven't gotten to Wolverine. I've been hoping for 2012 myself, but something tells me they'll pass that off to Presents. That and Knowing. They don't give Nicolas Cage as much attention as I'd like.

I'm watching Armageddon now and it's a decent riff, but, gently caress, the movie sucks.

Best riff so far:

"He's brainier than Kurt Cobain's ceiling."


E: Seriously, gently caress Michael Bay. A lot. And hard. In the rear end. With a bent crowbar.

They are doing a lot more shorts it seems like. Also, they've done a lot of live shows, and many of the features were extra long movies.

They really seem to do one or the other, mostly shorts or mostly features.

Also, speaking of shorts, if you haven't bought the Seatbelts one you're doing yourself a massive disservice.

The ROTK rifftrax was pretty good, but I had completely forgotten about this until I saw that very homoerotic feeling end scene where Frodo wakes up after Mount Doom. Nothing can top that, even rifftrax couldn't.

Rewatching Crystal Skull for the hell of it. I lose it every time Gruff Old Indy and that British professor are talking in Indy's house about how the people from the previous movie didn't sign on so their characters died, real somber moment, and Bill chimes in with the "da da DA DA da da daaaa" theme song.

Followed immediately by a closeup of the photo of Connery and Kevin goes, of course, "You're the man now, dog!"

Yeah, it was kinda of somber because Marcus was actually dead.

Paranormal Activity was the most boring, irritating movie I've seen in the past 10 years and I can't believe it made as much money as it did. I could only sit through the rifftrax 15 mins at a time.

Then the movie goes on to decapitate him in statue form. Classy. Shia's poo poo-eating grin when that happens pretty much encapsulates his whole role in the movie.

This and the lyrics to the theme song (when poor Harrison Ford is carefully jumping from storage box to storage box) are the best part of the riff. "Here we go now, really slow, nearly limping, 'cause he's old, old, old!"
