Dinner time at work (I'm the only one who works that late in my small company) means I watch a lot of Shorts. I've gone through all my Shorts lately, and I've been getting a little bored with what I had. The Guy From Harlem also sounds awesome. Therefore:quote:Order Date: Oct 7 2012 - 10:11am

That's a $22.90 very well spent.

I have this friend who, I believe, finds Rifftrax to be an affront to movies. It's like he's personally offended when they do a movie he likes (like the Harry Potter series). I've tried to explain that the movies Rifftrax does aren't necessarily bad, but have some element that can be made fun of (all comic book movies, for example). I used to borrow DVDs from him, but now I just Netflix them. They've done plenty of movies that I really like, but I certainly don't mind if they're riffed. I would love to see Mike and the guys do Blade Runner. It's my favorite movie, but I can see the possibilities of a great riff. Anybody else run into this?

It's kinda like Weird Al parodying a song I guess. Some artists get really offended, some thinks it means they "made it," and Kurt Cobain just said, "Sure as long as it's not about food."

I watch the 5th Element one like once a year, and that's probably my favorite film. Dude's just oversensitive.

Besides, I can separate the movie from the riffing as I watch it. As for the Potter movies, I can say they're well done and have great SFX, but they just aren't my kind of movie. They do make great riffs, though.

I actually find 1-3 of HP unwatchable without the riffs. Mostly because they put special effects and magical wonder over the plot of the books.

When they riff good movies (Jaws, JP, Casablanca, Red Dawn) it's good. When they riff crap it's great. But my favorites are completely ridiculous movies (fantasy/Sci-Fi, comic book). Harry Potter movies are heinously bad and chock full of stupid whimsy, and I can't wait for the rest of them. Each one has at least 20 solid laugh out loud lines.

I still think Buffalo Rider is the funnier of the two, but The Guy from Harlem really is the Birdemic of blaxploitation films (just like Deadpool said). Just a runaway train of flubbed lines and awful fight choreography.

New VOD! I'm posting from my phone, but I'll give you a hint: it's a sequel to a previous VOD starring someone who's name rhymes with Bavid Barradine.

Okay, here we go! When we last left him, things were looking up for John Tucker. He had landed a babe way out of his league. That nerdy kid who was always bothering him had been gunned down. He owned the world’s most powerful glove, which he occasionally admired as it sat in a box in the back of his dirty Jeep. But Tucker’s world is about to come crashing down when a mysterious visitor shows up at COP headquarters. (Unable to decide whether the acronym was COPI or COPS, the creative team* behind Future Zone just dropped the fourth letter altogether. Also, they may have moved from LA to Mobile, Alabama. The movie is very unclear about this. Oh, and the main bad guys in this one were in Future Force, but we’re pretty sure they are playing different characters here. Lest these changes scare off the potential sequel viewer, do not fear: Carradine’s beer belly remains very much intact.) Anyways, the mysterious visitor shows up. He’s wearing a mesh shirt and seems to know a little too much about John Tucker. Who is this mystery man and where did he come from? This is a question you will ponder for exactly four milliseconds before you, like every other non-brain damaged person, quickly realize “That is obviously his son from the future.” How did he travel back in time? “My friends built a time portal,” he casually mentions, never to address it again. Yeah. It’s that kind of movie. But the family affair doesn’t just stop there! In a delightful twist, Carradine’s real life wife plays his onscreen wife. The chemistry between Carradine and the woman who sold him out to the media after his death with quotes like “He had his kinky moments” and “He would go to a hardware store and buy the stuff” really is the emotional heart of Future Zone. Mike, Kevin and Bill splashed a fresh coat of mud onto their Chevy Blazer and make sure any and all gloves are firmly secured in an out of the way box as they hop on the highway to the Future Zone! *hahahahahahahahahahaha

Hang on, in Future Zone's riff they comment "we agreed not to riff Battleship". Seriously, if there was one movie this year that needed, nay, loving had it coming, it's goddamn Battleship. edit: Oh Charles Napier, did you need coke money that week when you filmed this piece of poo poo?

Or did Rifftrax have to pay severe royalties to use it in next week's live riff?

I think you're over exaggerating the severity of the royalties. If I were him, I'd ask for a little upfront and allow them to distribute the DVDs and get a percentage of that back. I'd be mostly stoked that people want to see my movie
