Mein Eyes! posted:I'd also suggest starting with a pretty short movie, like an episode of X-Files or some equally banal-yet-serious show. I'm agreeing with this as a suggestion to those considering it. It's very easy to overestimate your ability to offer consistently funny material for hours straight. I've tried to do some things like this in the past and, while everyone can be funny sometimes, being funny for a long period of time with frequency is hideously draining. I'm also seconding the recommendation of the Casino Royale Rifftrax. For those of you who remember MST3K, there was almost always at least one joke for each movie where the commentators (Mike, Kevin, and Bill in most of the ones I watch regularly) would have a nice long tangent joke that carried itself. The riff right after (Casino Royale spoiler if you haven't seen it) Bond goes all-in the first time and loses is of that type, and had me laughing my goddamn head off. Actually, I haven't listened to a Riff yet that wasn't great. The least awesome was the Batman & Robin Riff, and that's only because the joke density started falling off toward the end, which was a bit irritating. Otherwise, if you're interested, just grab one for a movie you already own and use the Rifftrax Player, because for most people it works well enough to provide you the experience without the complication of manual syncing. I can't really think of a better use for four bucks than buying one of these Riffs.
