Just saw Planet of the Dinosaurs based on the comments in here; it's brilliant. Probably one of the best ones they have done, to be honest. Invokes MST3K pretty strongly. If you haven't seen it - do so!

Here's a pro tip to all you film makers out there: If your cast, writing, directing, and everything else stinks out loud, don't kill the hot girl with the big norks first.

So in the past week two more shorts came out, "The Mysterious Message" which is set up like a cheesy horror story but is actually about the perils bad handwriting, and "Being a Good Sport", which may have the nerdiest references Rifftrax has ever done.

I'm willing to bet they make a running gag along the lines of, "Oh! A new character! I wonder if he'll pay off in any way."

Can't wait for the Last Stand riff. It's going to be amazing. Hopefully it gets here after my Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny DVD arrives.

Just saw The Green Lantern, thought it was decent enough but seemed like it would make an awesome Riff. So many moments just seemed ripe for a riff.

I always enjoy riffs more for movies that I actually enjoy watching, it turns into more of a good-natured ribbing that's much more hilarious than outright hate-fests of nigh unwatchable drek. This is why the Harry Potter riffs are awesome and why I couldn't force myself to sit through Crossroads or High School Musical.

I've been thinking up riffs as I watch things. What's really weird is that I hear different flavors of riff in the different riffers' voices. Like a joke would sound better coming from Kevin rather than from Bill or Mike.

How has no one responded to another live show? Anyways, one thing I've noticed is that on Facebook it's listed the even as taking place "worldwide". Has it shown outside the states before?

The only tickets on sale now seem to be for the theater in Nashville that is broadcasting it. Not the theaters yet (please be close to me in CT  ).

I'm in Cedar Rapids (similar size to Savannah, slightly smaller) but have to go to Iowa City, with a population about half CR's, to see Rifftrax Live, because that's where the University of Iowa is, so they get more entertainment in general.

The X3 riff was pretty good, I think. I did start it at 3 AM and don't recall much, but I do remember thinking that The Last Stand is a whole lot worse than I had previously thought. 5 years ago was a very different time in my life, I guess. Also, Netflix finally sent me the House on Haunted Hill DVD, which I will be watching immediately. I can't wait!

I remember enjoying it at the time because A) I was relieved that it didn't suck entirely, and B) I thought "well, there's gonna be another movie so they'll probably give Magneto his powers back and Cyclops will be revived" blah blah. But apparently they really meant this to be the end of the trilogy, which is just pathetic.

When I went to the first one, my local theater had maybe about 10 - 15 people there. The last one had close to 50 or so, and I expect at least 75 for this next one what with word of mouth and all.

Same. No one was at the first one, we had about 80 for the Christmas shorts, and from what I hear, around 200 for House. Hopefully word of mouth gets stronger. I'd like to miss one because it sold out, not because of inconvenient scheduling.
