Deadpool posted:I think the biggest laugh in my theater was "Gloryhole... OF THE GODS!" of whatever it was exactly. Right words, wrong inflection. Whoever delivered it (I think it was Kevin, could've been Mike) let it rip in one booming statement: "GLORYHOLE OF THE GODS!" I actually loved the Godzilla movie when I was a kid. Eventually I realized how, uh, dumb I was, but watching this movie, every now and then I'd connect with a little flash of something. Like, there was always something kinda badass and charming (at least to me) about the way Matthew Broderick goes "I always wanted to join the French Foreign Legion!" Or that scene with Godzilla chasing the helicopters through the city -- which made it all the funnier when Bill completely broke it with "IF ONLY THERE WERE A WAY TO MAKE THESE THINGS GO UP!"

I'm actually kind of surprised they didn't comment on Godzilla's constant teleporting.

Here's the slides I got. My count was 46, but I could have missed some. http://imgur.com/a/uJCpM EDIT: I think there's a couple dupes, so maybe more like 44. X-O fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Aug 15, 2014 |

Robert Denby posted:My showing had sound problems; there were quite a few riffs that were inaudible because the movie audio was burying the riffs. Also why is that movie 135 minutes. My favorite line was something like "Come and get it you giant bastard!" "The new Golden Corral slogan." Somewhere out there, Echo 3 is still waiting to land.

I think one of the biggest laugh lines in the Oxnard showing was "game over, man. Game over."

One of the biggest reactions in my theater was for the audience members wearing the Pirates jerseys. Go Bucs!

I was surprised there weren't any jokes about how Cody represented something like 1/10th of the US Army.

God that intro cartoon was hideous. Why is Jonathan Coulton still allowed near a microphone? The rest of the show was awesome though, except my theater was having sound issues too throughout the film. It was like they mic'ed up the audience and the movie but not Mike & Co.

This may have been my favorite live riff but that might be because Mayor Ebert and Jean Reno's character cause me to laugh uncontrollably without any riffing.

So can anyone who went to the show answer me these questions three? Did Godzilla tell off the looters and tell them to get a job? Was there a reference to Truck Cloacaz? Or did Godzilla say something in Japanese before chomping on one of the choppers? I watched the rehearsal video and they were talking about guest riffers getting back to them with revisions in the last week, and I'm like, "That never happened with me..." Edit 2: Sent email. Trying to minimise kerfuffle. Will mention nothing else here 'bout the lost riffs. Aside from that, I loved the rehearsal video. They pulled themselves up on being too vicious too soon, repeating jokes just a mite too many times...it was the insight into the riffing process I wanted. v: Well, poop.  Edit 3: Scroll down; I am a buttface. (But an entertaining one, apparently.) VivaLa Eeveelution fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Aug 15, 2014 |

^ I don't remember a single one of those lines. ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:God that intro cartoon was hideous. Why is Jonathan Coulton still allowed near a microphone? Though I liked him on John Hodgman's audio book. That's really Hodgman's fault though, I think. I swear the Godzilla audio problem was worse in the back than the front of the theater. They probably tried some dumb surround poo poo for the simulcast and wrecked the mix for everyone not sitting far enough forward. If you go to another one try sitting in front just in case.

This was my first time seeing this version of Godzilla. I guess I didn't think it was that terrible of a movie? It was too long and had some pointless scenes, but it didn't seem any worse than a typical Hollywood summer movie.

I agree, but I'm just complaining that this isn't the type of movie I like seeing them riff on. It's not goofy enough and the production values aren't terrible enough. I probably won't have watched it if it wasn't a live event. I think movies like Sharknado are more fun for them to riff on.

I probably won't have watched it if it wasn't a live event. I think movies like Sharknado are more fun for them to riff on. It had been years since I rented this movie, but last night I remembered how boring this movie is. Yes, Emmerich's movies have some nice production value (The destruction of MSG was very well done shot), but man the CGI looks really bad. I don't remember late 90's CGI looking that bad. Also, for a Godzilla movie, Godzilla is presumed dead for what, 30 minutes, maybe 45? I can't remember how long the search for the nest scene was, but it felt like an eternity. I've been to most of the live rifftrax showings (I missed House on Haunted Hill and Birdemic), and this one was the least enjoyable. I think it is because the movie is so badly paced, and my theater had the sound issues. I loved the Sharknado one, but part of that was the 90 minute run time and the more competent pacing. I have not seen Anaconda in years, but it was not as bad as this movie, was it? Also, that animation is kind of meh. What was wrong with their logo with their heads in cartoon form? It was like 5 seconds and then on to the show. I do not need a minute long intro.

I probably won't have watched it if it wasn't a live event. I think movies like Sharknado are more fun for them to riff on. I feel the reverse. The riffs for Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, and Jaws were great, so a film doesn't need to be goofy and cheap to be good for riffing. On the other hand, I skipped the Sharknado event, because riffing a film that was intentionally made to be goofy and cheap seems too easy to me.

Yeah, the length and pacing really hurt this show. I still enjoyed it (and the sound wasn't bad in my theater), but after a certain point I was still checking my watch thinking "how much longer is this drat thing?"

It's one of the reasons I have not listened to the Transformers Riffs (even though I have heard they were great). Anaconda is at least only 89 minutes, so I'm thinking that will be a better show.

ringu0 posted:I think they yelled "Itadakimasu!" ("Let's eat!", or, literally, "I humbly receive", according to Wikipedia) Sweet! That's the thing. I didn't get any feedback, which A) worried me, and B) was kind of what I was after. I just liked the juxtaposition of 'I humbly receive' with an explosion. Crap, now to craft another email, preferably while sober this is one of many reasons why I don't like confrontation jeez.

Okay people, after talking to the RiffTrax guys, I was told to go to TellFathom.com and fill out the survey so they can try and find where the problem was. I was told the audio was fine in the truck, but inconsistent in the theaters.

That said they're just showing Sharknado 2 in the theater outright next week, presumably just as it was on TV... oof

I love how completely unsubtle Emmerichs bashing of Siskel and Ebert is. How retarded do you have to be to think that was clever parody? Also, am I the only one slightly reminded of Rick Moranis when I see Broderick? PrinceRandom fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Aug 15, 2014 |

I never paid any attention to the movie when it came out, so when watching I was expecting there to be a scene where they get stepped on or crushed by the tail or their helicopter knocked out of the sky, or SOMETHING. And there never was. They bickered a little and ate some candy. There was no point at all. Then after, I looked up Siskel and Eberts old review of the film to see their reaction and Ebert said the exact same thing, including chastising Emmerich for not killing them.

muscles like this? posted:Yeah, it was such a toothless caricature. Ebert was fat and kind of blustery but didn't do anything too horrible. In fact he seemed to be right most of the time. How was it supposed to be a bad thing when he started yelling that the idiot military people were doing more damage than the drat monster they were hunting? It was absolutely true, for poo poo's sake! And why was there an ordinary sergeant apparently in command of the forces in Manhattan instead of an actual officer? Why were there like four submarines chasing the monster, only two of which did anything? Why was Matthew Broderick playing an insulting caricature of himself? Why was his utterly pointless love interest written to be borderline retarded? WHY WHY WHY?! I'd ask why Jean Reno was the only actor to put in a decent performance, but that's pretty obvious. I might be the only person in the world who actually liked his running gag about coffee, but that's probably because I spent seven years living in England, and the English are famous for being unable to make coffee to save their lives, so I can imagine a Frenchman having that same problem because the coffee in France is really drat good.
