Well crap. I tried to order my Birdemic tickets and they are already sold out. I'm going to have to drive 20+ miles to the theater now. I don't see why my local theater can't provide a second screen or at least one of the larger screens. They always stick us in the smallest screen.

Woah, really? I've been to a few of the RiffTrax Live events, and while all of them have been packed, they've never been sold out, even on the day of. That's pretty crazy.

I think it has to do with the location. It's easily the closest one to Pittsburgh. It's just a little south west of the city so its most of the city and the other major towns. The other cinema is north east of the city and much farther away.

The second book will make a great movie if handled right. The third book is terrible and there's no reason to split it into two parts.

Harry Potter and Twilight have set a horrible precedent - now it's going to be 'acceptable' for studios to take a popular book series and break it's last movie into two parts.

What makes me especially irate is they gave Twilight the two part treatment and NOTHING HAPPENS, but like 60% of Game of Thrones is cut to squeeze it into a 10 hour format.

New VOD! The Guy from Harlem is the first blaxploitation film we’ve ever riffed. Why? To quote the temperamental yet ultimately quite sensitive gangster Harry De Bauld, a character you will grow to love as much as we do - “well, it’s...it’s kinda personal.” Okay it’s not actually personal at all, it’s just that the movie is really, really funny. It trades most of the sleaze, grime, and, well, exploitation that you expect from the genre for dopiness, sexual situations that fail to lead to actual sex, a clumsy confused sweetness, and more botched lines per minute than anything we’ve ever seen. As you’d expect from the title, The Guy from Harlem is set entirely in Miami. The makers of Casablanca almost used the same approach, with early drafts titled The Dude from Somewhere Other Than Casablanca. It’s the story of private eye and titular Guy, Al Connors. Al’s a man with such a reputation that when it’s time to protect an African queen/princess/wife of a chief of state (her title changes pretty much every time it comes up) the CIA goes straight to his dingy shag-carpeted office and begs for help. Later, when gangster Harry De Bauld’s daughter is kidnapped by the sinister Big Daddy, and his own criminal organization is just “too upset!” about the whole thing to deal with the situation, where do you think he goes? That’s right. To the guy who’s the best at being from Harlem there is, baby. Join Mike (what you say?), Kevin (that cat’s a bad duuuude), and Bill (get on down!) for The Guy from Harlem!

Bought the instant I saw it. EDIT: I like how they have an intro with the guys, then 5 minutes of nothing, then the movie just starts. Caesarian Sectarian fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Oct 4, 2012 |

It's still on Netflix Instant (though you probably would've looked there first if you had it). It is a Good Riff and I recommend it if you're willing to buy/rent the DVD.

The commercial riffs are possibly better than modern medicine. I wish there was a way for a riff to be composed of nothing but old commercials.

That air hump will give you air herpes. The other one features Rod unable to pronounce the phrase "solar panels", and is probably one of the most famous scenes in the movie.
