I liked the braless hippie chick who wanted to be Thumbelina.

Haven't gotten any non-shorts from Rifftrax since back when you had to have some stupid special DRM-y DivX thing. What does the VoD option give you these days? Just an avi, or do I still have to install special software?

Watched Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny last night. I just totally lost it when the ice cream bunny finally showed up like 10 minutes before the movie ended.

To which the answer is, thankfully, no. I'm really glad, because the mpg for this is over two gigabytes!

And then I almost made a sign of the cross in honor of Mike, Bill, and Kevin, who probably had to watch this more than once and didn't always have the luxury of a pause button. I came to this thread to tell you specifically that you are not overdoing it. This was the craziest loving thing I've ever watched. I don't think I can even put into words how insane it is.

I think a lot of people are going to have that reaction. This is the strangest thing ever captured on celluloid. Yes, even stranger than Manos. The climax of the film (if you can call it that) when the titular Ice Cream Bunny makes his grand entrance is perhaps the most WTF and hilarious sequence in film history. Two quotes from the Rifftrax itself sum it up perfectly: "Is this like The Ring, where if I watch this, in 24 hours, I'm dead?" "No, much more potent. 38 seconds, tops." And perhaps more to-the-point: "Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in 150-plus movies, Rifftrax has nothing to say. Just this: enjoy." ETA: Although they poke fun at it a little, I just realized the ridiculous number of framing devices/narrators this film-within-a-film (I'm using the term "film" loosely here, of course) has. Basically, we have Truman Capote Lady telling us a story about Santa Claus, who's telling a story about a girl at Pirates World who is listening to a PA system mole tell the story of Thumbelina. It's just like Inception, only more confusing! mobo85 fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Dec 21, 2010 |

I have a friend totally hooked on Rifftrax now. She's seen the last two live shows in theater with me. So she wanted me to stop by to watch the 1986 Jim Henson movie Christmas Toy. I took with me last year's Rifftrax Live Christmas Shorts, and I forgot just how good that was. That's to say, I literally almost died tonight because I pulled a dumbass move and tried to drink some water while watching it. I'm just glad that I managed to surpress the urge to vomit to try to clear the water out of my windpipe. Might have killed the mood.

I think my favorite part of Ice Cream Bunny were all Bill's New York jokes about Mr. Digger. It's funny when you know that Bill's a native New Yorker and everyone involved in MST3K noted how he gave Crow that sort of "East Coast" attitude.

Is it wrong that I laughed hysterically every time they cut over to the lone, static shot of the PA speaker and repeated the same shot of the hippie chick looking in on the diorama with total disinterest every one of the 78 times it happened?

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as when the ice cream bunny winks involuntarily. Just this slow, excruciatingly awkward wink, right into the camera.

what's the difference between video on demand and download to burn? also, is it difficult to transfer rifftrax where the movie is already available (i.e. ice cream bunny or the shorts) to an ipod? The 19th Person fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 22, 2010 |

All of the shorts have iPod MP4 as an option. Also, just now watching Rifftrax Live Christmas (saw it in theaters last year) and I've forgotten how insane these shorts are. It's really some of their best work.

Just watched Santa. What. The. gently caress. Bloody Inception levels of layered storytelling with the random-rear end movie-within-a-movie. One of the funniest ones they've done in a while, but man. That is some crazy shiiit.

Jesus Christ, I just watched Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny, and I am honestly hurting from laughing so much. It wasn't so much from the individual riffs, more from the inexorable rising tide of "What the gently caress am I looking at?" incompetence and insanity that they accompany. By the time the Ice Cream Bunny himself finally showed up, to the mournful wails of his siren of horror, and Bill started doing his Krankor laugh whenever this awful, retarded, stroke-afflicted rabbit-thing got a closeup, I'd completely lost it and was literally crying with laughter. I don't think even the best MST3K episodes left me that helpless. The movie itself... what can be said? Even Manos at least had a narrative of sorts, and Hal Warren must have seen a movie before.

I think I remember the guy (girl?) in the rabbit suit literally pulling down on the thing that made the eye wink. And the girl staring at the diorama for an hour clearly had just downed a fistful of shrooms.

The girl looking at the diorama part was certainly one of the oddest choices of the movie. It was completely unnecessary to anything. I mean, were those dioramas supposed to be a loving draw? Ooh, I don't like roller coasters, I like looking at dioramas about Tumbalina!

All the framing devices were completely unnecessary, but SCatICB and Thumbelina are obviously two different movies from Pirates World's film division (???) that had been mashed together for some godforsaken reason. I don't imagine this monstrosity saw much action outside of Pirates World itself. If I had to guess, the whole Ice Cream Bunny thing was probably tacked on to make the film more appropriate for some holiday-themed event where I'm guessing -- god help us -- the Ice Cream Bunny actually showed up in person.

They could removed the blown out speaker and the whole Pirates World scenes, and just kept the actual story and had Santa be the narrator. It would have still been a horrific totally hosed up mess, but it least it would have been under slightly... very slightly... better context and framing. But that would have cost time and money. Really, they just didn't care...

I watched something on youtube from Slate that claimed that Tom and Huck were in there because the director really wanted to make a movie about them and never got the chance to. So, yeah, it seems like they pieces of like three movies and mashed them together and hoped for...???

I have no idea what I just watched. That left me in tears quite a bit, it was just so bad. I'm curious about a few of the explanations for a few of the plot devices like sticking an entire movie in there, but really the entire thing was such a mess that it would've taken away from the awfulness.

marioinblack posted:I have no idea what I just watched. I've shown it to two people now, so I've seen it three times (although with the second person I showed it to, I just skipped to the end of the 'Thumbelina Insert' since it gets so goddamn boring). I can tell you, it doesn't get any less weird or baffling no matter how much you watch it or read about it (much like "Manos" or "Monster A Go Go"). Being able to look at people staring at the screen in abject terror when the Ice Cream Bunny appears is a real pleasure. The bits that people love the most though; "You know guys, if you close your eyes these scenes take on a whole new meaning." and Bill reprising his Krankor laugh.

On top of being sleazy, sweaty and somewhat incontinent, Santa was so lazy and inept that I wanted to punch him. Ten whole minutes must have been taken up with a repeating cycle of "Oh, I'm soooo hot!" [Wipes away sweat, random animal fails to shift the sleigh] Hey, moron! Maybe if you moved your fat arse out of the sleigh, you might be able to free it from the light coating of sand holding it in place. It's always annoying when movie characters act like imbeciles because the plot demands it, but in this case there was no plot, just a fat man in a fake beard whining a lot, soiling himself and narrating a recursive series of other stories. It defies belief how anyone could have thought making this was in any way a good idea, even if it was intended to shill Pirates World (not a possessive, just a world with a lot of pirates).

Oh, and a metric gently caress-ton of booze. Can't wait. marioinblack posted:I have no idea what I just watched. I think the best is there's a credit sequence inside the movie.
