My main concern was that I thought they might have done another Christmas one or something. I dunno really, I mean, they announced the House on Haunted Hill event at the Reefer Madness one. I thought they were considering to do them more regularly or something.

Was it six months? Geez, seemed a lot shorter. That also aided my confusion.
Just Googled to confirm the dates. It was actually eight months.

The Ice Cream Bunny movie was supposed to be a "live" event in that it would be live streaming over the internet. Although they seemed to have learned their lesson that their web server just isn't powerful enough to handle that kind of traffic.

Given how stupid the premise is, I'd imagine they had a lot to work with. I haven't seen it before though, so I don't know how well I'd follow the storyline while listening to the riffs. Opinion?

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
I usually try to watch the riffed movies beforehand so I don't get distracted from the riffing by trying to follow the movie.

If you haven't seen Avatar, then both the new Star Trek and Iron Man are excellent riffs.

This is a good idea. I basically had the Cloverfeild rift entirely wasted on me, as I found myself paying more attention to the plot in that than the jokes. Man, was I ever so happy that the main character died in that film.

Yeah when I watched the HP movies (without reading the books) for the first time and with the rifftrax, it was hard to follow the huge amounts of exposition and pay attention to the jokes at the same time. Also agreed to see the movie first before you watch the riff.

There are exceptions to this rule. I can't imagine watching The Room unriffed...unless it was at one of those big party-style showings. But never alone by myself. I don't hate myself that much.

The Room is one of my favorite movies, real talk. I've watched it at midnight shows, with small groups of friends and even alone just once. With the Rifftrax is still the worst way to watch it. It's hilarious and absurd enough that it doesn't need three guys making fun of it.

The Rifftrax Twitter account mentioned that they're "screening" a movie right now, and posted this image:

I don't recognize what it is however. Not sure if it's a hint to what their next movie they're riffing is. They are having a contest on Twitter right now that if you guess the right movie, you get the Riff free though.

Birdemic

Seems like it could be a good riff, but Birdemic is barely a movie, even when compared to something absolutely terrible like The Room... if you could imagine such a thing. I'd say that at least 20% of the dialogue is unintelligible just due to the sheer incompetence of the director. And most of the actors make Tommy Wiseau look like William H. Macy.

They put up a new short comedy video and mentioned that their upcoming riffs are Highlander, Karate Kid pt 3 and the aforementioned Birdemic.

Old Town Road to EGOT

Having seen The Room over 10 times, a few of those being in theaters (in fact, I saw it in a theater earlier tonight), I can say that the RiffTrax, while amusing, is not at all comparable to seeing it in a theater with a bunch of other people who have seen the movie before.

Tonight wasn't the best time I've seen it in theaters, but it was still hilarious. The best time was the first time I saw it in theaters, which was over the Summer. The things people yelled out were absolutely hilarious and seemed to be perfectly timed, and it was one person yelling stuff out at a time instead of a whole theater full of people yelling out different things like tonight.

One of the best things about The Room is that no matter which way you watch it (by yourself, with RiffTrax, with a small group of friends, with a theater full of fans, etc.), it's always a laugh riot and just a great experience. Some ways are more fun than others, but it's never disappointing.

The problem with this is that the really, really bad version with the infamous 'the immortals are really aliens banished to Earth' plot is only on VHS. All subsequent versions have cut out the whole alien thing and fix quite a few of the hilariously low-rent special effects and whiplash-inducing editing.

Also, they won't be able to make fun of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ASrXm-PQFU

I'm watching The Last Airbender and everything you've heard about it is true. Bad acting, bad script, and unpleasant to look at. I sincerely hope that Shyamalan's career is over.

Decent riffing, though.

I'm about halfway through the Inception riff and it's pretty great so far. There are a lot of pauses in the riff, though, probably so you can understand what the hell is going on.
