Just finished Star Wars. Overall, I give it 8/10. Some harsh bits by Bill against the movie in general, but lots of funny stuff. It's always funny to me when the riffers make each other laugh during the riff.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Personally, I wish Rifftrax would do more crappy horror movies. It would be awesome if they did the ring. Unfortunately it appears that one unfunny guy is handling them, the one who did the house of wax and others. They did The Grudge. I liked Michael Elliot's Riffs.

New short is up - Shy Guy. Features a very young and socially awkward Dick York (the first Darrin on Bewitched). Soon to be followed by the Self-Conscious Guy.

Watching the restored/colorized version of The Little Shop of Horrors. The movie is filled with horrible stereotypes and the acting is way over the top. Sample exchange: Seymour: "But I gotta keep a little blood for myself or I'll be in worse shape than Mom." Mike: "You'd have to die and partially rot to be worse than Mom." Edit: After a scene in a detective's office: Kevin: "It's like Dragnet with gay actors." Mike: "So, Fagnet, then?" Kevin/Bill: "MIKE!"

Gaseous Snake posted:gently caress yes I'm glad they're done doing three riffer versions of movies that Mike's already done. Agreed, but Missile to the Moon had Fred Willard as the guest riffer and he, well, left much to be desired. I've never found him funny.

Just finished Jaws. Good, but not great. I'd give it a 6.5/10. More quiet spots than usual for a Rifftrax.

muscles like this? posted:Do the feature length VOD stuff have DRM or not? I know the shorts don't but used to. Nope. I usually get the full video (if I don't already own the original movie) and burn it to a DVD. You buy it, it's all yours. Some of the shorts were DivX, but they've pretty much abandoned that.

Myrddin Emrys posted:Personally I prefer the big-budget releases over the shorts, and overall I prefer the newer movies. I know a lot of people disagree but hey. A lot of people want Rifftrax to be more like MST3K and do crappy low-budget stuff. The problem there is getting your hands on them. Let Cinematic Titanic handle those movies. Hell, I'd like to see them do Blade Runner or the Godfather series.

Ainsley McTree posted:I'm still holding out for Red Dawn. I mean they did Roadhouse and Point Break, how do they not do Red Dawn? Red Dawn has a scene which prominently features Patrick Swayze's snot bubbles, come on! There is some hope. From a December 2007 interview: Mike Nelson posted:Well, my favorites don’t necessarily tend to be other peoples’ favorites, that’s the way it kind of works. I really love all the movies from the 80s. I would love to do Red Dawn, and we did Road House, which is one of my favorites–I love those, but I’m from that era, so I don’t think people like them quite as much as I do.

Captain Charisma posted:Is there any easy way to add a Rifftrax MP3 to a DVD I ripped into an AVI? I'd really like to show my friends Road House but all I have is the file I ripped. If you still have the DVD, try the handy-dandy Rifftrax DVD making guide: http://forum.rifftrax.com/index.php/topic,413.0.html I've done every Rifftrax with this guide and it's amazingly simple. The only real work is syncing up the audio track with the Rifftrax in Audacity (and that might take 5-10 minutes). For about 95% of the ones I've done, once you line up the first sync line, the rest fall into place with rarely more than a quarter of a second difference. There are a few that require Muxman over IfoEdit for various reasons.

Just a few minutes into Empire and Chad Vader gets off a couple of good ones: When Luke's tauntaun appears: "This was Jim Breur's screen debut." In the base when C-3PO and R2-D2 are walking down a tunnel: "Here come the longtime companion bots."

Yay, we got a mention! When R2-D2 is trying to open the door on Cloud City, Kevin is making jokes that he's surfing the internet: "Just gotta swing by Something Awful here."

Ten minutes in and I have come to the conclusion that this is one of the stupidest moves ever made. E: are the books anywhere as bad as this movie? Extra edit: Just finished and this movie is just as bad as The Happening. Excellent riff. Mister Kingdom fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Apr 26, 2009 |

Pompous Rhombus posted:Can you tell me the joke/riff when they're sitting at the piano (sorta near the end of the movie)? I remember it absolutely flooring me with laughter, but I can't remember what they said. Starting when the guy starts playing the song and Britney is "singing": Mike: "I suppose it's naive to hope Ben has kicked has kicked out his stool and set the piano on fire at the end of this jam, huh?" "I think he ripped out a page of Helen Keller's diary accidentally." "Yeah, if you could stop moaning like a Philipino hooker, that would help the song a little."
