muscles like this? posted:On the bright side, The Last Airbender comes out on DVD next week and you just know they're going to riff that. They've been making references to how lovely is in other stuff so you know they've got to be planning it. And yet they never did Ransom or Air Force One despite constantly referencing them

Locutus Of Bored posted:According to Wikipedia, Inception will be released on February 1st and Order of the Phoenix will be the 15th of February. I can't wait for either of them, since The Dark Knight and the other four Harry Potters were solid gold. Did anyone else find the Dark Knight riff impossible to follow? The movie changes volume constantly. Loud scene, quiet scene VERY LOUD SCENE, quiet scene, EVEN LOUDER THAN EVER BEFORE SCENE, even quieter scene. So the riffs would either be inaudible, or completely overwhelming the movie.

broken formica posted:Did anyone else catch their public service announcement on Facebook? People almost never donate for things like this. It's a joke that people won't just buy the riffs. It is so easy to buy it once and then download it anytime I want in the future. If I'm at a friend's place and want to listen to a riff, all I have to do is sign in and download it.

weekly font posted:Yeah it's abysmally made on less than a shoestring budget. After it came out the director/some fans tried to turn it into the next Room but there's not enough legitimate heart behind it to latch on to with any kind of love. It's just a really big turd. I think Birdemic has a lot of heart. It's really stupid heart, but it has it. A guy in line to see the midnight showing described it as "barely a movie" and that is the most accurate description of Birdemic. It has pictures that appear to be moving, but it has nothing else in it vaguely like a real movie. You only hate this movie because the main character is played by Roderick Strong.

The other movie on the dollar DVD double feature: VIRUS was not. It is seriously worth watching unriffed and I imagine it will be even better riffed. Joe's shirt is a cinematic marvel.

muscles like this? posted:The weirdest thing about Galaxy Invader definitely has to be Joe's shirt. What the hell was up with that? Constantly wandering around with that big hole in the chest and the bottom of the front ripped off. The art of cinema is creating memorable, lasting images that stay with the viewer. Watching movies shouldn't be a passive experience, films should challenge the audience.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:That's almost impossible. I find Joel's voice really annoying so I try to avoid those as much as possible, they really aren't my thing. At one point I thought I had seen this movie but then I realized I was confusing Torgo and Tor Johnson. I still expected a large bald monster to be involved in this movie until basically the end. Animal-Mother posted:Saw (and smelled) some real goonish loving people in that theater tonight. This one guy behind us kept commenting on my friend's cleavage and how giant it was. She has really normal sized breasts, but thanks giant fat man with unkempt facial hair, you made our night creepier, and somehow more hilarious. I didn't really look around the theater but that guy seemed to sum the audience up.

FlamingLiberal posted:You hit the nail on the head. The reason people love the originals is because they have a kind of amateurish charm. None of these deliberately bad films will have that feeling. I have always maintained that the irony that people enjoy these movies through is dramatic irony. The movie doesn't know it's bad, but we do and that is the fun.

Deadpool posted:I don't think it was quite that similar. There were definitely enough new riffs, or variations that it didn't really feel like a retread at all. Yeah it felt like a lot of the same kind of material, but maybe 10% of the exact same material and that was fine with me. I still think everything before the Birdemic is way funnier than the Birdemic itself. The awkward romance is just out of this world bizarre.

Gavok posted:One of my favorite "this movie is so dumb" moments is sadly ignored by the riffers. During the basketball scene, there's a line about how they're in the middle of a heatwave in the winter. That's over the line, but whatever. Then about 20 minutes later, there's a scene of Rod going to a pumpkin carnival that's blatantly there to celebrate Halloween. I think the sign even says that it's early October. Well it did take them what, 10 months to film the thing? Looks like we know when basketball was filmed!

therealjon_ posted:It really killed me when they just loaded up into a van full of automatic weapons. Here's the weirdest thing about the movie: There seems to be a reason for the van to be loaded with automatic weapons. Ramsey is wearing camo as if he's some sort of survivalist/militia guy/whatever. In a movie where absolutely nothing is given a second thought, they actually had the guy with tons of weapons in his car wear something appropriate, like he may have had an actual character.

I usually skip the VODs of movies I already own, but I need to hear their reaction to the absolutely batshit insane line the movie ends on (or close to ends on.) A dollar bill is created to honor the events of the movie. What the gently caress?

Dissapointed Owl posted:I think the VODs are much more lucrative. They pretty much have to be. The movies in the VODs were often Dollar Store or $1 bin at Walmart fodder. You are talking about public domain stuff or things where the rights were so cheap they could be sold at a dollar a piece (often with two movies on the same disc!)

muscles like this? posted:I like the VODs more than the feature riffs because those movies are usually just more terrible. Regular blockbusters may have some parts that can be mocked but something like The Avengers doesn't even hold a candle to a movie like McBain. For me personally I like the VODs but I've found if I want to watch a Riff with someone else who likes MST3K and the idea of Rifftrax they can't stand the pacing of most of the VODs. I was dying during The Guy From Harlem, but my friend was just bored.

MisterBibs posted:Am I the only one who feels somewhat bad for Joel? If the real story is that logistical problems make CT difficult to do, there's no reason to feel sorry for him. He clearly has other projects he can make money on that are less problematic. If they are losing their rear end on these shows, then I guess I feel bad for him, but at the same time, CT didn't have to go down this path for their business plan, so it's hard to feel too bad.

I'd love to see them do Death Wish 3, 4 and 5. There is so much material in them, and I imagine the rights to 5 aren't too expensive. Charles Bronson gets older and older and his love interests get younger and younger.

bobservo posted:The only satirical elements seem to be the explicit parodies of propaganda, though. Everything else feels like it's played pretty straight, which is why ST is such a failure compared to something like Robocop. The only thing played straight at the performances, everything else is very over the top. It's one of my favorite movies so I'm sort of excited just to see it on the big screen. I imagine they'll find plenty to make fun of too. I wish they had gotten Mario Bros or something like that, but whatever.

I remember seeing Firehead on a terrible sci fi collection with Future Force and Future Zone, so I am hoping that might be a sign they made a deal with a distributor and we'll see The Cyberstalking and the other stuff on that collection soon. Amusingly enough, I think Space Mutiny was on that set as well.

I finally saw The Apple and I think I genuinely liked it once I understood what was going on. I admired how completely crazy it was, and how I think Lady Gaga may have stolen her entire career from the costumes in this movie. The movie brought on some delusional state that caused me to start blurting our nonsensical praise throughout it, so I feel compelled to rewatch it and collect my thoughts.

Sanguinary Novel posted:It has become one of my favorites, oddly enough. Though it's so goofy, the bible allegory so hamfisted and drops in and out on a whim, there is such an earnestness about it that's hard to hate. I enjoyed that the authoritarian music state wasn't really that evil, they seemed to hand out tickets for a lack of stickers and kick hippies out of a park, mostly. Granted their wild and crazy dance times led to some buildings burning down, but if the firefighters finished their jobs before mandated fun time that wouldn't happen.
