I also liked the fact that Chloe from 24 is the PA to the vice-president of a bank, yet is apparently so badly paid that she has to live in a crack house and drives a lovely old car that barely runs. Oh, and the world's best wifi connection! And the villain who to teach Harrison Ford a lesson kills one of his own men! And death by blender!

Hooray! The PAL version of Crystal Skull finally went up, so I'm having a Harrison Ford double bill today; Crystal Skull this morning, and Star Wars tonight. I enjoyed the new Indy one, so hopefully Star Wars will be as good or better...

drat it, have they stopped doing the PAL Rifftrax? Titanic, Fast And Furious and soon Transformers 2 are just begging to be mocked. Is there an exact percentage I could speed up the NTSC riffs in Audicity or similar to PAL lengths?

The dolphins screaming "DEATH TO TITANIC!" every time they jumped out of the water had me in stitches, and the whole riff was great. Three hours just flew by. And they got "I'm gonna sink this bitch" in there too.

Tony Danza Claus posted:I don't have the editing software to test my theory, but I'm positive if you cut out all the completely superfluous poo poo like the parents, the roommate, megan "open-mouthed dull surprise" fox, the 486 fart jokes, and the minstrel-bots, you'd be left with 20 or so minutes of pure awesome robot destruction. It's 39 minutes long. Which means that over an hour and a half of a movie about transforming robots does not actually feature any transforming robots.

Mister Kingdom posted:This may be a nitpick, but it seemed that, in the second movie, the robots appeared to have way more parts in robot form than they could possibly have in their not-robot form. The idea of Shia and Megan being ground up by whirling robot parts when they get into the car is oddly appealing.

Jesus Christ, I just watched Santa And The Ice Cream Bunny, and I am honestly hurting from laughing so much. It wasn't so much from the individual riffs, more from the inexorable rising tide of "What the gently caress am I looking at?" incompetence and insanity that they accompany. By the time the Ice Cream Bunny himself finally showed up, to the mournful wails of his siren of horror, and Bill started doing his Krankor laugh whenever this awful, retarded, stroke-afflicted rabbit-thing got a closeup, I'd completely lost it and was literally crying with laughter. I don't think even the best MST3K episodes left me that helpless. The movie itself... what can be said? Even Manos at least had a narrative of sorts, and Hal Warren must have seen a movie before.

On top of being sleazy, sweaty and somewhat incontinent, Santa was so lazy and inept that I wanted to punch him. Ten whole minutes must have been taken up with a repeating cycle of "Oh, I'm soooo hot!" [Wipes away sweat, random animal fails to shift the sleigh] Hey, moron! Maybe if you moved your fat arse out of the sleigh, you might be able to free it from the light coating of sand holding it in place. It's always annoying when movie characters act like imbeciles because the plot demands it, but in this case there was no plot, just a fat man in a fake beard whining a lot, soiling himself and narrating a recursive series of other stories. It defies belief how anyone could have thought making this was in any way a good idea, even if it was intended to shill Pirates World (not a possessive, just a world with a lot of pirates).

Let's have Santa stuck in the hot sun for about 20 minutes then he'll tell the kids a story in which we'll cut to another awful movie we made. I like the way Santa tells a story of someone else telling a story.

Bought The Crater Lake Monster, and enjoyed it - it had that proper late-period MST3K feel, to the extent that if Mike had called Kevin or Bill "Tom" or "Crow" I wouldn't have registered anything wrong about it. And the monster was really rather sweet and endearing - much more so than any of the human characters. Seriously, filmmakers, you're really going to spend the majority of your time with a pair of ambiguously gay drunken redneck imbeciles who spend far too much time wrestling in the mud? EDIT: also, towards the end of the movie they suddenly reveal that six months or so have passed since the meteor landed. It would have been nice if this had been suggested in any way whatsoever. A fadeout? Shot of a calendar? Anything? Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jul 11, 2011 |

precision posted:Inception isn't a bad riff but the actual film is really good and there's a lot of time they seem to be really struggling to find a joke. I wouldn't say that any movie is unriffable, but some are clearly better targets than others. Mike said himself in the recent Q&A that movies with lots of action are bad for riffing; I guess they're caught in a bit of a Catch-22 as popular blockbusters are likely to have more people buying the riffs, but those self-same movies actually limit what can be done with the format because they usually feature long action sequences.

A technical question re: Blu-rays - should you use the NTSC riff whatever region you're in? I noticed that the UK Transformers 3 BR had a different (longer) running time than the DVD, which I'm guessing is down to BRs not being affected by the differences in frame rate between PAL and NTSC.

Universe Master posted:I'm honestly beginning to wonder if Bay makes his human characters so horribly, despicably unlikable on purpose to make the giant CGI robots seem noble and interesting in comparison. I'm pretty sure he just tells all his human actors to take his scenes full of inappropriate racial, sexual, and scatological "humor" and crank up the scenery chewing to 11 (or in Shia's case, 23) so that he can finally fulfill his dream of a talking robot Oscar winner for Best Actor. Bay needs to get actual goddamn writers to do his scripts rather than whatever twentysomething flavours of the moment with good agents are pushed in front of him. Nobody's going to hold up the first Bad Boys or The Rock as masterpieces of cinema (and I love The Rock), but they had solid plots and characters with personality and motivation, and had been developed over years rather than being thrown together in a couple of months to meet a pre-decided release date. The human characters being so horrible might, just maaaaybe, be because Michael Bay is also a horrible person and he thinks that's normal. Which makes the whiny, screaming, angry, entitled, arrogant, prickish Sam of TF3 even worse because he's possibly Bay's avatar.

Pooned posted:Getting reminded that the same guy that made The rock (best action movie ever made) and Crimson Tide also made Transformers 3 Actually, you know what's really worrying? Don Simpson may have been the factor that made Bay's first two movies infinitely better than his others. Don loving Simpson. He may have been a paranoid, drug-hoovering rear end in a top hat who called in focus groups of Teamsters to choose his female stars on the basis of their "fuckability", but at least he spent time developing scripts.

CapnBry posted:I fell asleep during Transformers 3 about the 45 minute mark. Who falls asleep during an action movie at 9pm? You're right, not even the Riff saved it. I think you can sum that movie up in one shot: where they pan across present-day The Moon and the Apollo 11 lunar lander is still on the surface. Not just the descent stage, the whole drat thing. It was like Micheal Bay said "No. People won't know it is the loving moon if we don't have the entire recognizable lunar module there [as if Aldrin and Armstrong had never left]".
