Rifftrax has been doing amazingly good work thus far, some of the best thus far being Transformers, Independence Day, Casino Royale, both Fantastic Fours, and Matrix Reloaded. The shorts are something I've yet to get around to, but I can't imagine them not being great as well.MajorB posted:How does a Rifftrax for Memento even work?

Plavski posted:Just watched ANH. It's easily my favourite rifftrax so far. Not a bum joke in the movie and most are genuinely laugh-your-rear end off type affairs. It really is hilarious and on the button. If you buy only one Rifftrax this year, buy this one. "So, did the lava burn off your... you know?" "Yeah, but there wasn't much there to begin with."

So, this is as good a place as any to ask. As a first time viewer of the Star Wars Holiday Special, I have question that was pointedly brought up in a riff the second it came to my mind: WHAT DID BOBA FETT OR THE EMPIRE GAIN FROM THAT LITTLE ANIMATED ADVENTURE, WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY CANON?! Two of the Empire's greatest foes incapacitated with nothing to stop you from killing the Wookiee and capturing them and... You give them an antidote for their illness and fly off. Friend.

What the gently caress is with the lack of new Rifftrax lately? Is it so much to ask for a movie every once in a while?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me, beaten by 30 seconds on the first person getting home? Awesome, absolutely sublime. I imagine this's what MST3K:TM in theaters might've been like. I'll be goddamned if the 2nd Lt. carelessly flinging around the handgun so ridiculously, literally aiming it at his own head and everyone else's complete with pew-pew sounds didn't crack everyone up at the broadcasting site and at my theater. MST3K and Rifftrax are the sort of thing that cause a resonating effect with the humor, though. Everyone laughing makes you laugh that much harder. People brought their whole families there, the theater was at least 85% sold out, even the lovely ground-floor seats up front were in use. Such an amazing experience.

Plavski posted:Glad it went well. Any technical hiccups like the last live broadcast? How did it work functionally, did it seem pre-recorded or what? Tiniest of streaming errors JUST as the Coulton songs were ending. Nothing of any relevance during the good parts, thankfully. It was just as he was hopping off of stage, actually.

CoolZidane posted:I hope they do something like this again soon because I really enjoyed it. At $12.50 each time, I'd do it as much as they would try. God drat, it was the best MST3K-style experience I've had since those first times seeing the show 15 years ago.

Mastiff posted:As a big MST3K fan, I'm really excited I got to see this show tonight. Loved Lowtax's shorts, too. They got big laughs in my theater. EVERYONE loved 'em and got the humor, my theater was packed with laughs at them as well. And, again, the Nashville originating show seems to have loved it, too.

MY FANTASYS.zip posted:Wow, a sold out crowd at the show I went to. Saw a few number of neckbeards, but also some families there too. Loved everything in the show. And like the others, there were hiccups during the short, but other then that it went fine. Also, the Rifftrax site is getting HAMMER right. drat straight. Everyone wants their downloadable CAR.

Overwined posted:Good for them. I hope the song they write for the next one is entitled "gently caress You Jim Mallon We're Making Money Now". It's funny, even though they probably had to pay a shitload of licensing to whoever that group was (I can't remember it now, but it was all over the screens before the live show picked up) they contracted to for the theater distribution, they HAD to be getting SOMETHING back in the form of ticket share. Which, on a $10~$15, depending on the area, for 430?-something theaters, most of which were loving FULL, is something you just don't get compared to tens of thousands of people buying a short a week at $0.99. edit: We need ACTUAL MIKE NELSON to post with a tiny bit of information on how awesome this went over, financially, for he, Kevin, and Bill. Lowtax, can you pull strings?

Fearsome Critter posted:New Lenox, IL. Awesome showing, funny as hell. Probably the most unexpected line because you just never know when they'll rip out a swear. They'll drop an F-bomb during an R-rated movie, yet the obligatory Samuel L. lines during Episodes 1/2/3 get bleeped.  Which, by the way, the 'thank you for keeping this flight snake-free' line during Flying Stewardesses line got retarded applause at the Nashville originating theater. I liked that.

Overwined posted:Still, on general principle...gently caress Jim Mallon. I'd pay $20 for another show like that. Very much on that bandwagon considering how little he's ever done to further MST3K and, in fact, has tried to cripple Mike's works since, especially with The Film Crew. So, yes, gently caress Jim Mallon.

Oh, and for anyone who cares: WATCH ED WOOD. Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood absolutely fantastically, the film was done by pre-retarded 'I have to make overly-gothic pretentious crap' Tim Burton, and it has some really well-acted and interesting coverage on bits of the film, like one of the policemen being the sons of the film's churchie bankrollers, stuff between Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi, random friendships with Wood and his actors, especially noteworthy being Bunny Breckinridge, the hyper-homo alien commander who supposedly got himself a sex change later.

Yeah, even knowing who Coulton was and liking Still Alive, I hated the songs and felt like his presence really detracted from the experience.

Alright, I can almost understand The Room. It was basically an untalented douchey guy's attempt at making a Skinemax flick starring himself, only he sounds straight out of the people rejected from Werewolf for sounding TOO foreign. The Wicker Man, though, I can't figure out. It had an ending straight out of the MST3K era. Bad movie, no doubt, but that ending was just hilarious.

Tony Danza Claus posted:The Crappening is probably my favorite. Then Independence Day and Twilight. Bourne Identity is probably my favorite overall. If you aren't won over by the PERFECT Ali G reference, I don't know. Fantastic Four is still one of the best overall, too. Of the shorts, Shake Hands with Danger (I love Mike and the others cracking up and trying to, whilst laughing, mockingly do the guitar riff), Drugs are Like That, Good Eating Habits (DAH!!! THE BOMB!!!), THE TALE OF MOOSE BABY, and, of course, Bill of Rights.

The lisping Leguizamo talking to his daughter about the picture of Screech and Zach, take care of it because he might not be able to find the same site again, and the printer ran out of green ink and the thing is peeling on the corners.

So, hey, what's everyone's discouraged-from-getting thoughts? Any ideas on what's bad, or at least not good/great? I always thought that, of all of the Star Wars ones, Empire Strikes Back was actually rather terrible and weak and found it odd when I saw it was the highest-rated of them all on the official site. I Am Legend, considering that it was a great movie for about 50 minutes then atrocious trash that couldn't be saved at all no matter what because of terrible decisions in the filmmaking process, was a loving terrible riff in spite of it even being Mike, Kevin, and Bill. Just terrible riffs, horrible recurring theme of thinking Robert Neville's name is "Legend" and other silliness that didn't fit or seem funny at all. The Spider-Man titles, I thought, would've just been a fuckton better if they'd ended up keeping it Mike/Kevin/Bill instead of mixing it up with weird non-standard nerdy guest riffers like that loving weird-rear end, Lileks, on the third one who just wasn't funny at all and detracted from the thing horribly. I wish they'd just keep it to loving awesome random people who want to show up on the things like Doogie Howser and Joel McHale and Lowtax and Weird Al.

Western Backstroke posted:Oh, and avoid The Day After Tomorrow. Such wasted potential. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. GREAT Rifftrax. Kevin and Bill work great together. Great movie to riff on. Great riffs. It's one of my favorite ones to just pop on, up there with some of the best MST3Ks! Crystal Skull had two of the best riffs I can remember, though: When the Commie-Nazis were being flamed and were screaming because they were standing in the steady stream of flames, they chuckled up, "Well, move, then! Jeez!" It was such a great line. And then, after the infamous fridge escape, Harrison was in decontamination being scrubbed and they pan out and there's a window into the room where he's being scrubbed, and, first, "Hey, ma! I got a job in a movie! I'm holding a push-broom scrubbing Harrison Ford's wang!" Then Mike or Kevin is like, "Do they really need a WINDOW in the decontamination room?" and Bill laughs, "They DON'T!" and they're just laughing at the movie, it's so funny, it's contagious. I love it.

Ho ho ho, amazing. Here people were thinking that it was too late for them to announce it for release with the DVDs, but nope! And, yes, let's hope they tear it apart for being a terrible abortion that somehow made less sense than any previous Bay film. I LIKED Transformers 1, but this thing was just a loving travesty. I wasn't expecting fantastic high drama, but this thing was just crap.
