At the end of The Devils Hand wouldn't the lead characters burn to death since they left their dolls in the fire? Do I need to spoil rifftrax movies?
I wish they could do more of these VODs, they are very handy. It would be awesome if you could download a commentary track to your blu ray player using BD live. I'm sure you'd need the companys permission to do that but would be decent idea.
Does any company own Ax'Em? I'd love to see them do that one just to see if they can make it in any way watchable.

My friends and I assumed that after the evil doll seller died, the spell he had over the dolls was broken. Either way, I'm gonna try not to lose any sleep wondering things about that lousy movie.

I agree about the VOD movies, they're super convenient and I really enjoyed Voodoo Man and Planet of the Dinosaurs, and Crater Lake Monster was pretty good, too, in addition to Devil's Hand. The riffs tend to seem inherently funnier when it's a movie basically no one has seen and it's just a pack of nobodies on the screen- feels a lot more like MST3K.

I'm just waiting for the first DVD/Bluray release that comes out with Rifftrax on it as a special feature. If Rifftrax keep going on for a long enough time I think it'll eventually happen.

Another weird thing about The Devil's Hands is how it makes all the "Devil God of Evil Gamba" stuff look like its supposed to be a big fake cult but then Commissioner Gordon and Devil Lady have magic powers.

Planet of the Dinosaurs. Its a really goofy 70s science fiction movie with a cast that's just awful enough to get good jokes in but not so bad that their acting makes it unwatchable. Which is a problem with some of the other VOD movies like Maniac or Voodoo Man.

An odd thing about Planet of the Dinosaurs is that one of the characters is designated as the "sexy" one but early in the movie they have another, better looking character who is unceremoniously killed off in the first 5 minutes.

They did that twice in the film. First with the blonde who deployed her flotation devices, then with the rear end in a top hat executive dude's brunette secretary who got her belly dance on.

Both of the legitimately hot ladies get killed by dinosaurs, yet the love child of Andrea Martin and Gene Shalit survives as the romantic interest for Slab Bulkhead.

For those who haven't seen the movie, you know how corny and stupid that laser gun looks on the cover? It actually looks worse in the movie. Also, I'm fairly certain there are no knockoff X-Wings in the film as there's about 30 seconds of spaceship footage before the whole thing explodes.

Wasn't Planet of the Dinosaur one of their failed attempts at live streaming their Rifftrax through the internet (the other being that Bird Short from last November)?

I think the effect was enhanced by the fact I've driven up the Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Cruz and San Francisco so drat many times. There's something hilarious about seeing horrible gifs attacking fat people outside that restaurant with the British bus outside.

It really is. I'm honestly in awe of Shyamalan. He made some great movies and has just become a joke, even more so than George Lucas because at least his movies made assloads of cash.

Watched Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny. Who the hell thought that movie was a good idea? Let's have Santa stuck in the hot sun for about 20 minutes then he'll tell the kids a story in which we'll cut to another awful movie we made. I like the way Santa tells a story of someone else telling a story.

Wasn't it even more recursive than that? I'm sure at one point there were at least three layers of narration, like some horrible nightmare version of Inception.

The Last Airbender made assloads of cash. It grossed over 300 million dollars worldwide and outgrossed the first Xmen movie, Ghostbusters, Superman and every Austin Powers movie. There will almost definitely be a sequel.

It was Santa telling the story of some girl going to an amusement park and examining a diorama of Thumbelina. :psyduck:

If there was anything more to it than that, time has mercifully obliterated it from my memory.

Santa was telling the story of a girl who went to Pirate World who was looking at a diorama of Thumbelina while the voice of the mole woman narrated the tale of Thumbelina (and subsequently her own) over a set of lovely speakers.

And somewhere there was a horrible bunny-thing that reminds us we are all trapped in a hellish nightmare in which there is no waking.

To be honest that's not a lot of money, considering it probably cost around 200 million dollars to produce and promote.(To compare the first Transformers movie also cost around 200 and brought in 700 million) It was also very poorly received by critics and audience.

The Last Airbender is not exactly a hot property, and a sequel would most likely tank. With Shyamalan or not. Then again stranger things have happened.

I think the "Holiday Special" is second only to the "Transformers" movies as the worst things they've ever done as Rifftrax. It actually makes you long for the prequels.

Mister Kingdom posted:

"Manos" on it's own is a lot more painful than "Birdemic" on it's own, mostly because the latter has so many unintentionally hilarious scenes. "Manos" has nothing except for the occasional chuckle, and it's a miracle they turned that into one of the best MST3K episodes.

Also, this showed up about a week ago...

That movie was on the e-mail they sent out last year, which polled people on what movies they should riff for the next live show.

Don't forget the parts that were actually told to the mole woman by Mr. Bird after the event!

And there was a Narrator for the Santa segments implying the whole film was being told by somebody else to us! :lsd:
