Sounds like it. They'll probably cover the nudity like Joel did in the opening credits of City Limits.

IIRC they only say 'gently caress' once in "Starship Troopers" and its at the very end. The nudity will be a problem if they want to keep it 'clean' (in quotes because the movie has a ton of people getting decapitated, ripped limb-from-limb, impaled, and shot in gory fashion).

It's really not a big deal, there are like three total seconds of boobs in the entire movie (I just rewatched it a couple days ago).

Though I can't really figure out how they're going to make it any funnier, because it's already one of the funniest movies I've ever seen (and also one of the best).

They might do something like MST3K where they pull out an umbrella or something to cover the naughty bits.

Some of you have asked (and many we're sure are just understandably curious) if we're doing an edited version of Starship Troopers. We are not.

Later on in the same post posted:

We believe the three of us up there adding our commentary undercuts the impact of the material quite a bit. But we will also take special care to comedically mute those few moments that earns it its R, and creatively make it as PG-13 as possible.
Comedically mute. Meaning (IMO) they'll be trying to make jokes that draw attention away from the boobies and gore and vagina monster. Sounds to me like you can still stroke one out during the show if that's how you choose to roll.

It's not like they didn't make it super clear that they might not get Twilight in the first place. It's a shame they didn't, but also not a surprise.

I'm really bummed about Super Mario Bros.

Every other movie they could do as a regular mp3 riff no problem because the DVD's and blurays are readily available.

SMB could only be done as a live show or VOD because the DVD is long out of print and there's no way enough people would hunt it down on eBay to watch it.

In short, drat you Disney.

What's confusing to me is that didn't they say that if they didn't get Twilight, they'd start working their way down their list of Worst Movies of All Time?

Because Starship Troopers isn't even on that list.

What I assumed was "comedically mute" meant they'd talk over it like they did for The Room. If they take away Dina Meyer's naked I will rage!

Back to something less desperate, I just watched the SF Sketchfest Shorts and it was great even for someone who had seen some of the shorts. What I will say is don't splurge for the HD version because there's nothing HD about this. It's all low light high ISO footage mixed with 1960s shorts so don't waste the $2 you could spend buying Buffalo Rider.

Also, seriously, how is I Know Who Killed Me not on that list? I would give so much money to a kickstarter toward riffing that movie, it's the right mix of absurdity and incompetence that's practically made for it. Everyone should see it exactly once.

As evidence for my case, I present this episode of How Did This Get Made that a goon pointed me toward a few weeks back.

I gave up long ago on trying to explain to people why Starship Troopers is almost literally a perfect film (for what it set out to accomplish). There seems to just be this big divide between people who "get it" and people who insist there was nothing to "get".

Looking at that list, I can't believe I haven't gotten the Wicker Man riff (because I didn't know it existed), and I'm really surprised they haven't done Catwoman yet.

I was lucky enough to see a presentation recently by Phil Tippett, who did the arachnids in "Starship Troopers" (as well as ED-209 in "Robocop", and the stop motion effects in the original "Star Wars" trilogy). He showed the prerequisite reel of his work, and when it got to "Starship Troopers 2", which he directed, he went on a very funny shpiel about how the movie came to be. "Starship Troopers" was not nearly the hit Sony wanted it to be theatrically, but it became one of their biggest titles on DVD. Someone at Sony greenlit the super-low budget (IIRC about $3 million) straight-to-DVD "Starship Troopers 2" and since Tippett didn't have major projects lined up, and had some name recognition since he worked on the original, Sony offered him the director's chair. Needless to say, he's not proud of the results, and even though the scattered visuals he picked from the movie looked good enough on their own, he said something very telling, "Notice that there's just music on these clips and no dialogue."

The little I've seen of the third movie looks as if its trying and failing to replicate the original's satire.

It's not on there probably because StarShip Troopers is an absolutely loving excellent film what the hell is wrong with you?

StarShip Troopers 2 was terrible and StarShip Troopers 3 has maybe two good laughs but ultimately fails at delivering the same fantastic satirical comedy the first does so drat well.

I first saw Starship Troopers in the theater as a random "me and my buddy are high, it's noon, there's gently caress-all to do so let's go see a movie". It was fantastic.

Days like those are also what resulted in me seeing Batman and Robin and Good Will Hunting, probably the two worst films I've seen in the theater. I think Independence Day happened because of that too, but that movie was alright.

If they were to do Catwoman I'd hope Mary Jo comes in for it like she did for Glitter.

The F&F movies have nothing to do with each other except Michelle Rodriguez died in either 2 or 3 and came back in 5 or 6, because she was "undercover" for some crime thing, when in actuality she had other movie scripts at the time.

Other than that they have no common plot thread at all.

It's more the possibly not getting jokes that assume some small knowledge of the previous movies, as is often the case in many of there other riffs of late number movies in a series. (usually they did also riff the earlier ones with those though).

It's a 1991 bit of sci-fi garbage known as Firehead.

Rifftrax posted:

You know you’re in for a treat when we were considering starting this description, “When an Estonian cyborg defects to America...”

This Estonian cyborg, as you’ve come to expect from Estonian cyborgs by this point in time, is the ultimate killing machine. Played by The Actor You Get When Reb Brown is Making Something Even Crappier, he possesses the devastating ability to shoot lasers out of his eyes! For this reason he is called LaserEyes. Er, The Blinkinator. Maybe Cyclops from X-Men. No, it was Firehead! He’s called Firehead, since he can shoot fire lasers from his head eyes.

Who’s the most suitable man to track down Firehead and ensure that he doesn’t go on a rampage? Did you say Chris Lemmon, son of screen legend Jack? Of course you didn't. Did you know he existed? Well, have you ever seen someone really commit themselves to a terrible Jack Lemmon impression? Right, of course you haven’t. But take our word for it, Chris makes a strong case that the true villain of this movie is Hollywood Nepotism.

Actually, the real villain is a shadowy organization known as The Upper Order, which plots the beginning of World War III from a rented conference room at the airport Ramada. They are led by another legend, Oscar winner Christopher Plummer, who was having so much fun that he brought along fellow Oscar winner Martin Landau. Rumor has it they almost convinced Orson Welles to come along too, but he wanted to spend his twilight years pursuing dignified, artistHAHA! We almost made it through that sentence!

Join Mike, Kevin and Bill, all Estonian defectors themselves, as they riff LaserEy Firehead!

I remember seeing Firehead on a terrible sci fi collection with Future Force and Future Zone, so I am hoping that might be a sign they made a deal with a distributor and we'll see The Cyberstalking and the other stuff on that collection soon. Amusingly enough, I think Space Mutiny was on that set as well.
