I always rent the rifftrax movies from netflix and whenever they do the new ones I always have to wait weeks before they become available to me. And Iron Man, The Happening, and now this one are all on long wait from Netflix. Man its going to be forever before I get to watch a new Riff. \/\/\/Yeah I just checked it when I added Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to my queue. All my rifftrax movies are "long wait" or "very long wait" status. Savantegarde fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Oct 22, 2008 |

I'm 30 minutes into The Happening. Apparently Shyamalan didn't take "Creating Tension 101" or "Getting Emotions Out of Your Actors 101" at film school. The Rifftrax is hilarious so far. Was Mark Wahlberg given the instruction to anti-act? Hot dogs, everybody, hot dogs. Oh, yeah. Lemon Drink. Last edit: One of the funniest Rifftrax they've ever done.

Its another one of those "training manuals for aliens" shorts where they explain some really really basic information. Like, you need to eat food to have energy to do things. Also after eating you will eventually have to take a poo poo. You should try going to the bathroom at the same time every day but if you feel the need to at other times you should go then, too.

I caught that free sample of "The Incredible Hulk" last week, great stuff! It really helps when they pick media which is goofy/improbable on its own, and late 70's - early 80's television is probably rife with material. They riffed a few episodes of the web series "Star Trek: New Voyages," but I'd like to see them wrestle the rights from Paramount's greedy clutches, and start on some Next Generation and Voyager episodes, the latter especially. "Alien spaceships" with a table, two chairs, and a curtain hanging in the back. Once I get back on that ol' job train, I plan to watch the following, au riffe: "Beowulf" "Ironman" "The Matrix" What makes riffing so great and timeless is that there's this perception that schlocky, poorly produced films/TV don't get made anymore. If anything, it's increased...

They riffed Generations already if you want that Next Generation riff. It's a pretty good one, though I think it would get old if they did a few episodes.

They don't need anyone's permission to do riffs. That was the whole point of Rifftrax. So nothing's really stopping them from doing episodes of other shows they just wouldn't be presynced like the Hulk one was.

They have quite a library of riffed material, no surprise that I missed that one. Actually have that one on tape, I wonder if I could synch the riffing with it - have to check the version, etc.

I have a semi-Rifftrax related questions. I've been watching some old MST3k lately, and am I the only one who just cannot watch most of the episodes where Joel hosted? The guys a genius for coming up with the show, but the slow delievery, the invention exchanges that were never funny, and some other things just make it impossible for me to get into it. I also don't like the original Crow as much as I do the newer guy who is now on Riffrax with Mike. Maybe it's because the first MST3k thing I ever saw was the movie, and then went into the episodes with Mike in them and never saw anything with Joel till recently. I try to like him, I even watched some of the Cinematic Titanic stuff he did recently, and couldn't get into it at all either. Am I the only one? Is there just something wrong with me?

Repeat to yourself "It's just a show, I should really just relax." The Joel vs. Mike debate has been raging for over 10 years. Edit: I saw the Happening rifftrax earlier. 5/5 would watch again. fenix down fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Oct 27, 2008 |

The inventions exchanges hardly had me crack a smile. I don't know, like I said, I think I should like them, I just don't, and it makes me sad that I'm not able to enjoy 5 seasons worth of the show. Although the Manos one is still hillarious. That was actually the first one I saw with Joel, and the first time I was ever aware of anyone but Mike having hosted the show, and I really dug it, so I watched more and...

There was that whole "Mike was a temp, Joel was a Gizmonics janitor" in-show explanation during the Legacy run, though most of the exchanges came from Joel's stand-up routines. I like to think that the exchanges didn't really stop; please to reference "The Starfighters," where the Mads' cranial ports are beaten down by Cowboy Mike's Barbeque sauce. It's bold. People generally loved or loathed the host segments, which sort of gives Rifftrax an advantage over Titanic in capturing the "no host segment" audience.

As far as riffing, I can't imagine the Joel episodes working as well with anyone else and the same way with Mike episodes. As far as the host segments, I think their quality falls less along Joel/Mike lines and more along Comedy Central/Sc-Fi lines.

I started watching when it was on Sci-Fi Channel (Giant Spider Invasion was the first episode I saw and it was on my eleventh birthday or so). So Bill Crow is the Crow for me. Not that I don't like Trace's Crow, though. I think we can all agree that Josh's Servo was dull.

In other news, the Rifftones have won Masters of Song Fu 2. Their entry for the final round was "Love Theme from JAWS (When a Man Loves a Shark)." Indeed, I too am going to need a bigger heart after that song that I may contain the love I have for these guys.

Same; I'd caught a few of the syndicated Joel episodes, but I was mainly introduced to the show on Sci-Fi. I tend to think that while Trace's Crow defined the character, Bill's did a great job of development after his 500 years alone on the SOL. Few people stand up for Josh's Servo, especially since they were still tinkering with the puppet design during the first national season. On the other hand, they really admire his riffing. Gypsy had what, three different voice actors, none of them women?

Mister Kingdom posted:http://www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax/indiana-jones-and-kingdom-crystal-skull Yep, I peeped that preview! Wonder if the bleeped out portion near the end is left uncensored in the real commentary. Since a lot of folks didn't like Crystal Skull, this could be a great title for them. At the risk of going off topic - eh, I was happy to see Indy back. There are plenty of points where the riffers can skewer the plot (a-bomb v fridge, for example), but the series was always sort of done tongue in cheek, an homage to adventure movies of the 1930s-40s. So what if the plot went a little sci-fi? Spielberg always did like aliens, I dunno. More fuel for the mockery!

There were beeps in the Riff. They won't swear in a Rifftrax if they don't do it in the movie. I think they said they would scale the Riff to the movie's ratings, so if you're watching a PG movie, then it would be PG too.

They did mention something like that, but usually they are far more conservative that the actual rating. Not that they need to swear to be funny, but even for the movies with stricter ratings they will often do a very family friendly riff. I actually did a double take a couple nights ago when watching the Plan 9 From Outer Space (which definitely falls in the G to early PG category) riff and heard Kevin proclaim "Bullshit!"

Definently though, they try to keep their material at about PG-13, around the range of a TV-broadcast of an R rated film. I often wonder what a totally uncensored riff-fest would sound like - luckily for us, they'd be sure to keep out the "Beavis and Butthead" material ("poo poo poo poo FUCKER! etc.), but I'm sure they could work in some good stuff with the more risque words.
