Just watched Wicker man with riffing, it was a decent enough commentary, but holy gently caress that movie sucked. And it sucked in the way that NOTHING HAPPENS.

It's almost as good as that time a guy almost looked in a bag

Dude, there is nothing between us. All we did was have tiramisu

I'ma talk to a plant. You're a plant, what's up with that? Say hello to your mother for me

also: I can also attest to the so bad it's goodness of The Room. I'm not too familiar with the cult following it received in LA since I saw it in Northern California on bootleg. But if I were to describe it, it would be like a Skinemax movie with the good parts taken out, the lovely parts prolonged and it's all directed by a film school dropout. The love interest is played by a chubby Britney Spears from Crossroad, and the "child" in the movie is played by a guy who looks like he's 30. And the main character played by Tommy Wiseau, is like Speak the Hungarian rapper with longer hair

Granted I haven't watched the Room rifftrax in its entirety but from the sample I saw on the website, I think the problem is something Mike Nelson himself brought up in an interview which was that it's easier to riff a bad Hollywood movie because at least it has a sense of pacing and measured dialogue, whereas bad movies tend to pad it with more bad dialogue so it's harder to get a word in edgewise. From what I saw in the sample it seemed they would sometimes have to cut off some of the dialogue as it trailed or vise versa. To really appreciate the badness of The Room I think the awkward silent pauses have to be taken in

When the public found out that he had shot the film on two cameras on the same trolley because he didn't know the difference between film and HD video, he began to write a book about how he had done it on purpose to compare and contrast them critically.

"With the film camera it will have the strip of film inside of it. But HD no such thing, is like magic."

I know these days it's a glorified entertainment magazine but Time has Rifftrax in its shortlist of stuff to watch for, thought that was kinda neat

Just finished the last of the original Star Wars trilogy. Unfortunately it's been a while since my last viewing, and had to agree with the crew: a lot of it didn't hold up too well. ESPECIALLY the digital additions, good gently caress what was Lucas thinking? Also, I remember thinking "what was so bad about the Ewoks?" and then remembered that I liked them...as a child

I was surprised they snuck in the Avatar reference during RotJ, there's no way they are letting that one off the hook

I haven't followed Rifftrax for a while, everytime I go back to the site it seems like it's the offbrand stuff on the front, which to me is kinda bad for branding, regardless of how good the 3rd party stuff is. Is this mostly unfounded or....

it doesn't help that it seems they don't do as much of their own stuff as much
