Yeah I don't know where I would rank it in the pantheon of VOD Rifftrax but the movie was a bizzare mix of ok....? production with an absolutely incomprehensble story/script which is rendered FURTHER incomprehensible by the parts there whey're like "hey, bored yet? have THIS loving weird, completely unrelated, unexplained scene *cue lionhead bat, human sacrifice and ogre marriage*" So in that sense it was quite amusing cause it takes effort to make a movie so muddled. The riffing was pretty on-par, though keeping in theme, the funniest parts were when they expressed how utterly baffled they were by the whole thing (which, coincidentally, where always my favorite parts of MST3K).

Huh, the bad guy in Wizards of the Lost Kingdom was the same actor from Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell, and I'm like 90% sure I just heard some of the same music, too.

Nope. Too realistic. Not nearly enough like a lovely puppet. And there's a complete absence of Dante from Clerks.

Oh "Pheobe". I get that you're trying to tell a meaningful story that relates to the kids but...no. I don't even feel mad at the director or the cast or the writers. Just a combination of sadness, resignation, and pity. Edit: It feels like this movie could have been very good if they only made marginal improvements to everything. When Paul plays the piano like he's rusty at least have him play an enjoyable song on it. And when he gets up from the piano make it more relaxed and natural. It's not like he's Batman and he just saw the bat signal. Have the Pheobe be the one making the cowboy comments on the way to the beach. That would show that she has moods other than angst, would show that she could relax around Paul and have fun around him, etc. No closeup shots of peoples nostrils for half a minute. You know what, just ignore that. I'm treating the movie as if it was being told in a roughly linear fashion and it's definitely not.

From stuff I've heard on the topic of bad movies, Italian cinema at the time was driven by a large push of "see what was just successful elsewhere, make something like it as soon as possible and for as cheap as possible".

It's funny how the "Supersonic Man" theme kept on almost infringing on the Superman theme but would turn away at the last second.

I've been watching the stuff they have on Hulu and Tourist Trap sure is a stupid movie. It should have been a supernatural thriller or a serial killer movie, both just seemed kind of overblown.

So if I understand what you said and what a plot summary says, the guy turns people into mannequins who are dead, but uses his psychic powers to make them move again even though they're dead? Or does he briefly bring them back entirely to life? Edit: I just realized that I could check clips from rifftrax to see what it was like and wow...the wikipedia article makes it sound like a much more interesting movie than it looks. Which is saying something. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Mar 20, 2016 |

I think it was more along the lines of Slawson was bonkers and a good craftsman. Anything 'supernatural' could be seen through the eyes of people in pure terror not noticing what was really causing poo poo to fly around. I mean, our main character, such as she was, had to have been a little unhinged herself. The whole series of events drove her completely around the bend, but she's sort of an unreliable narrator for much of the movie.

I think the nonsensical ending happened because it was a lovely, incoherent movie made by an incompetent creep who had issues with women.

That reminds me of the movie The Orphanage where maybe there's a rational explanation, maybe there isn't! There actually are four things without rational explanations, but they probably aren't the ones you think. Getting people to accept someone could get away with mass murder counted on people handwaving mass murder away because orphans. Why did the mass murderer wait until after the house was sold to try and remove the remains of the orphans? Why would she meet with the new residents in the first place? If she wanted to remove the bones she could have found ways to do it without making her presence known and raising their suspicions. Finally, how could a pensioner get the paperwork about someone else's adopted child in the year 2006? Record keepers actually cared a whole lot about personal privacy at that point.

Another interesting milestone: They just passed their previous record for most money raised in one of their kickstarters (their second kickstarter for Godzilla and Anaconda was their previous best at $265,911). They also have more than two weeks left on their current campaign. Guess there really are a lot of Time Chasers fans out there.

Much as I like to go the Live Shows, I have nobody to see them with, so I wait until the VoD version instead. At least this time they have the VoD for all the shows, unlike the last few kickstarters.
