Anyone's else's download taking a ludicrous amount of time? 3+ hours?

It was a poo poo day at work I neeeeeeeed this Rifftrax tonight!

Molothecat posted:

Mine's still messed up. It took 4 hours to d/l (way longer than usual) and then the file I downloaded didn't work, instead just crashing VLC and WMP over and over again.

I wrote their support email.

Yeah, there's one relatively early in the McBain riff. Don't let that keep you from buying it though, it's some of their best work I'd say.

They're both the same movie, and, yes, Viva Kneival is wonderfully awful.

Great theme song though:

The year was 1980 and one trend was sweeping America! No, not that animated dancing cat from the Paula Abdul video. We admire you thinking outside the box, but jeez, you were off by like nine years. Reign it in a bit. We were talking about the nationwide fad of really crappy musicals!

Yes, 1980 brought us Xanadu, The Village People’s Can’t Stop the Music and of course the crown* jewel of them all: The Apple. Because what we needed at the start of Reagan’s America was the book of Genesis set to music.

The Apple tells the story of Alphie and Bibi, a pair of sweetheart musicians from Canada who make the Osmonds look like GG Allin. Alphie’s vaguely foreign-y accent and resemblance to sensei John Kreese do nothing to slow them down as they ascend the ladder to stardom. Of course, they have a little assistance from Mr. Boogalow of the sinister BIM Corporation, which is at times a record company, an oppressive totalitarian regime and the producer of a reality singing TV show (listed in order from least despicable to most.) Forgot the name BIM already? Do not worry, there is a solid ten minutes of the movie where people shout it at you while doing aerobics.

There is a new VoD up for Psycho 2, the unnecessary sequel to the classic. Can't view the preview because for the past week the videos on the site just don't play and give me a error.

Now that I think about it, TDKR not being riffed is almost as depressing as GI Joe not getting one.

God, they could do so much with Bane's bombasticness.

Rirse posted:

Oh nice, they made a VoD out of the recent Shortfest that had the Rifftrax team with several guests. This is a nice surprise, as I was wanting to see it.

This was also a Rifftrax Live short. I forget which one, but if you are going to get the live shows (and they're all good except the first Rifftrax Live), then you're going to get this short through that.

There's a new short out - You're the Judge. It's sponsored by Crisco (product placement anyone?).

For those older goons, you may recognize a young Bonnie Franklin.

Holy poo poo, Curse of Bigfoot is loving astounding. The whole movie is like some guy attempting to teach a class, then like 20 minutes of logging and then back to a classroom. Then it was about 10 hours of the class walking around in the woods picking up sticks and stacking bales of hay. And it finally finished with people throwing buckets of gasoline at bigfoot.

A few weeks ago, I asked about the most bizarre Rifftrax shorts so I could do a list article on them. I want to thank everyone, especially Deadpool and IUG, for their help as I'm finally done. Had a blast doing the research.

The 25 Most Insane Rifftrax Shorts.

Sadly, the be-hatted dog-faced spider from Bill's nightmares and that dinosaur pulling a bone out of his throat got cut from the list.

IUG posted:

I have all those shorts except for PERC! POP! SPRINKLE! because it just sounded so creepy and something I'd be embarrassed to be caught watching.

Although nothing is creepier than William's Doll. Holy poo poo.

2. Haven't heard of it but will check it out. "Gory" in the description is usually a bit of a red flag though, unless it's poorly done enough to make it goofy.

quote:

Yes, it’s an utterly baffling horror film about a mad doctor who believes death is simply an evolution and that every woman wants to sleep with him. Yes, he is laughed out of the academy and moves his decency-defying research to a swamp in Ecuador, as one does. Yes, he’s investigated by a sheriff who can only be described as a chunk of swarthy walking meat, and who also believes that every woman wants to sleep with him.

But MORE THAN ANY OF THIS, Swamp of the Ravens is a vehicle for an original song about being in love with a dead robot that will change the way you view songs, movies, songs in movies, robots, dead robots, living robots, and love itself. Seriously, we haven’t been so infatuated with a song since Damien Carter taught us all about “Hangin’ Out With [His] Family” in Birdemic, and we know you’ll love it just as much as we do. You poor souls.

Oh and also, there are no ravens in the titular raven swamp. Just buzzards. Really, it’s a heck of a movie.

So grab the dead robot you love most and join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Swamp of the Ravens! No ravens required!

I know what I'm doing this Friday night... ho poo poo wait, tonight is my Friday night! This movie also looks like it qualifies to be bought using the "money for porn" pile in my budget.

quote:

RABBIT! The very word strikes fear into the heart of anyone with a very strange definition of the word fear! Their very existence seems to bring terror, what with their gnawing on vegetables and hopping and...twitching their little tails… Starring in a surprisingly wide array of beloved books, cartoons, and other children’s entertainment, OK, look, rabbits aren’t scary, at all. But what if, through a combination of terrible editing and confusing camera angles, we pretended like they were very big? Hey, where are you going!

So it goes in Night of the Lepus (Latin for rabbit, as characters frequently remind each other and the audience.) When rabbits overrun a farmer’s land, he turns to a local scientist for a cure rather than poison them. Thus the true message of this movie: poison rules. When the scientist’s cure backfires, the rabbits grow to enormous size and the real conflict begins: that of the special effects team vs the movie producers who evidently budgeted next to nothing for the special effects team.

Using an innovative technique known as “replaying the same drat shot over and over again” the makers of Night of the Lepus manage to create the eerily convincing sensation that you are watching normal sized rabbits run towards a camera in slow motion. Occasionally they run across the screen right to left in slow motion. That Cadbury commercial where the rabbit clucks like a chicken is infinitely scarier. So is the mustache that DeForest Kelley sports in this movie.

Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for Night of the Lepus, the least scary thing involving rabbits since Bugs Bunny dressed up like a woman and seduced Elmer Fudd.

I think that would be a very tough one to riff. There's long periods with no dialogue, and IIRC there's only two speaking characters after the first 20 minutes or so. It is crazy though, and is the only feature directed by Saul Bass. Also, it was originally supposed to end with one of the most stunningly weird montages ever put to film:

This Is Hormel is a short in the grand tradition of David and Hazel and Setting Up A Room, where you look at the time remaining on your media player and think “Clearly that has to be a mistake.” But no! It’s a half hour long Hormel infomercial masquerading as an educational short that must be seen to be believed!

In theory, this short is about Brad and Greg, two boys who while apparently attempting to set a world record for boredom on summer vacation, write a letter to the Hormel factory asking if they can take a tour. To their surprise, they do not receive a letter back asking “What the hell is wrong with you, go play outside!” but instead an invitation to serve as a thinly veiled framing device for a solid half hour of meat footage.

And oh, the meat footage...You’ll witness the creation of a mysterious substance known as “ingredient meat.” You’ll visit the hide cellar, a place that makes Gary, Indiana look like Disneyland combined with the beaches of Maui. And you’ll witness the creation of Spam, a substance that evidently is at times purchased unironically.

It’s a meatfest of the highest order, and we feel like even Upton Sinclair himself would begrudgingly approve. Just don’t touch any machines operated by guys with less than four fingers. Join Mike, Kevin, and Bill for This Is Hormel!
