muscles like this? posted:Got done watching this one and its just a plain bizarre short. 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. So does anyone know why Cathy doesn't eat breakfast? I've been absolutely baffled by that one ever since I saw it.

Not even Rifftrax could make the Star Wars Holiday Special good for me. I had to watch it in two separate sittings, and even then it was hard to resist just turning it off because it's that loving bad. I guess it would've helped if I knew the SWHS was two hours long though, and it was funny to see commercials from my local CBS affiliate from 30 years ago.

Pooned posted:I just watched The room with the riffs on, and oh my god what a piece of poo poo movie. The riffing was alright, but my god. I think 50% of the movie was old camera footage of San Francisco, 40% awkward HORRIBLE sex scenes and 10% people greeting each other. I read on Wikipedia that he meant it as a black comedy, but i can't imagine Tommy Wiseau be intelligent enough to even know what a black comedy is. It did provide what I think is the best riff to date though. And yeah, there's no loving way that movie was supposed to be a "black comedy," there was clearly nothing intentionally comedic about it. I had no idea this movie was so huge in bad-movie-cult circles though, I didn't even know it existed until the riff came out. BTW, what was the Arrested Development reference? I remember them saying something about the Bluths around the "chicken cheep-cheep-cheep" scene, but I didn't get it. raditts fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Jun 28, 2009 |

fenix down posted:I've been meaning to watch that - what's your prognosis? Maybe it was because they cut some really important parts out of the TV edit or something, but there were just several WTF parts that seem to have absolutely no bearing on the movie, and the ending is probably the WTFest of all. Also, lots and lots of blue filter.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:I watched "the best" Dr. Who (Christopher Eccleston) and it was like a high school theater production of Star Trek: The Original Series. Doctor Who is hardly a work of art in general, but whoever told you Christopher Eccleston was the best was a loving liar. Deadpool posted:Of course, but having never really paid any attention to Dr. Who outside of hearing people profess their love for it I'd always assumed it was some kind of respectable Scifi show and not a goofy low budget mess. If I remember correctly it was conceived as a semi-educational kids' program, so while it's probably skewed more adult-oriented over the last 50 years, that should still tell you where to set your expectations. It's a bit of an acquired taste.

Also, seriously, how is I Know Who Killed Me not on that list? I would give so much money to a kickstarter toward riffing that movie, it's the right mix of absurdity and incompetence that's practically made for it. Everyone should see it exactly once.

IUG posted:It's the same thing thing with some of the Rifftrax Shorts. One of the DVDs came with two guest commentators, and their voice work just doesn't work at all. They just don't know how to act out the lines they're saying somehow I can't quite put my finger on. That's why pretty much none of the non-MKB Rifftrax stuff is worth listening to. I don't think a lot of people get that even with stuff that sounds like it's off the cuff like Riffrax / MST3K that there's still a lot of timing involved. I didn't like WPDR for pretty much the same reasons as you.

Gozinbulx posted:Rollergator is unwatchable. I'm not sure it can be called their worst movie because I think it's unfair to call this a movie. It's a demented home movie that someone lay INCESSANT guitar over. I can barely stay focused on this. And the guitar... Yeah, I got 45 minutes in and I probably would have slit my wrists if I had to suffer a minute more. It really puts things in perspective, because as much of a disaster as The Room is, at least you can look at it and say "this is a movie, a bad movie but a movie none the less." I cannot say the same thing about Rollergator, it sets a new standard for "poo poo that not even Rifftrax can save."

There were some hilarious things added to the live version of The Room that weren't in the original riff, namely "hip dick".

I caught the encore last night too, it was fantastic. I couldn't figure out why they even bothered with the opening with ninjas crashing a coke deal, because that had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie aside from a guy associated with the ninjas getting in petty squabbles with some lovely college band, then getting his and his friends' asses kicked over and over. Also, Measuring Man belongs on some kind of watch list. Toady posted:Maurice Smith went on to become a UFC heavyweight champion. I'm surprised he's not standing off to the side with his back turned to everyone while he mumbles and cries about this moment.
