business hammocks posted:Experimental psychology suggests that you would not see the gorilla in that situation, though. Do they at least make a joke about that? The shtick was "I know you're excited for the legendary Starship Troopers shower scene, but I just want to say that we've been doing Rifftrax for seven years now, so I got something to celebrate it. A GORILLA-GRAM!" *cut away from movie to the theater camera*

Dixville posted:Lol I forgot about that sketch and I wasn't sure why but then crow started that screeching noise and I remembered that it freaks my dog out and makes him bark so I can't watch that one. This time it was on my phone so he just growled at it. My cat would completely ignore the TV except for one scene in a PBS vignette about a wildcat rescue center. At the end of the vignette they do a close-up on a lynx who does a "get that thing out of my face" hiss and every time it sent my cat into full alert mode.

remusclaw posted:Season 11 has hits and misses, like any other season, and I honestly think it hit more often. On top of that, I will also say that the interstitial segments are top tier, ranking alongside any other seasons best, even in they do fail to hit a high quite as stratospheric as the one they hit with Ingmar Bergman's "A Joke" The rest of the first episode was okay, but the kaiju rap from Reptilicus is when I had to pause the video and run downstairs to show my brother that they'd nailed it, this was MST again.

If they end the interstitials with something other than a constant "AAAA ITS MOVIE SIGN AGAIN!" it will be a perfect season.

Manos does that for me. It's infamous, and I get why, but it is not a fun watch. It just sucks all the energy from the room. Carnival Magic was borderline that bad for me, it took me three tries to make it all the way through that episode.

And then there's Svengoolie and Elvira and a bunch of other random horror host-esque folks. MST didn't steal a shtick, they tapped into the zeitgeist (I think that's the right word) of dead airtime cheap cable shows and, like everyone else, made it their own. Some adaptations stuck, some didn't. MST in particular, with the running commentary, became an integral part of their show that the more typical hosts who just did interstitials didn't. And so while some hosts may stick around in the memory for iconic looks (Elvira's got a couple of big reasons people remember her) I don't think there any where the episodes themselves really stuck around in the same way.

He even does the audiophile thing of the green marker through the middle of CD. Mike never even smiles, just sort of lightly nods his head. It just goes on forever and I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THbKEXBk8X0

Only through Mac & Me so far, the first half of that movie was just  , but hilariously bad once it got rolling at the McD. I too want to see the movie that audio guy thought he was scoring.

I know this is like trying to untangle a hairball, but I'm trying to figure out Killer Fish's plot. Not sure if bits were cut or just talked over. --Steal jewels, toss in dam, wait 60 days for heat to die down. Fish deployed to ensure that. --Flunkies try a double-cross, get fished. --Flunkies try again, get fished. --Everybody sits around for 60 days showering and such. --Baddie and Wife get jewels. Protagonist sabotages boat (out of spite for the dead flunkies? Just plain orneryness? He did not yet know Baddie was a baddie.) --Storm hits. --Lots of folks get fished, Protagonist realizes Baddie is a baddie. --Baddie dies, folks rescued, entire tourist industry for the lake ruined due to piranha. --Wife gets jewelbox. --(apparently) Wife opens jewelbox, takes half the jewels, and pretends she can't open it even when on the plane home scott free. --(at some point afterward) Model swaps jewelbox.

luxury handset posted:personally i blame the subdivision developer who thought to provide open, unrestricted access to a slope, adjacent to a home, that was overlooking a giant precipice The house I grew up in had one of those. Maybe 40 feet out the back gate was an 800-foot cliff overlooking the Rio Grande. A bit less of a slope leading up to it, though.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Baddie and Wife got the jewels early so they wouldn't have to split it with the surviving flunkies. They threw a big chunk of meat into the lake to get past the piranhas. However, the original idea behind stocking them in the lake was that the piranha would naturally die out from eating the available food sources after 60 days. Ah, which explains why Protagonist sabotaged the boat and why the model shoot was still there. I thought "bait them with some meat" had always been the plan.

And even there, at a show known for random assholes yelling and throwing stuff at the screen, the jokes are largely rehearsed. My first encounter with RH was in college, and it was neat to see a couple of friends from the Bay area introduce their hometown riffs to the Portland crowd.

For Twitch ads also note that they're constantly trying to get them past uBlock and uBlock is constantly trying to undo it. So you could be watching fine, then reload your browser and get ads, then next time uBlock updates they're gone again. My biggest gripe about streaming ads is that they just pop in wherever/whenever, it's so jarring. Also because on Youtube (I use the phone app so can't block ads) it'll just show at the start of a video, and then suddenly decide on a random video to show one every three minutes.

My brother and I sat there chortling while he complained that they were leaving out the good parts.

Another Bill posted:I've been watching too many bad movies. I was just watching Hobgoblins and found myself thinking, some of these actors aren't bad. Decent production values too, except for the puppet monsters. I had a similar reaction watching Gymkata. It's a terrible movie, but if you go in *knowing* it's a terrible movie there's some neat stuff in there. For example I believe the main character was one of only a handful of people who at the time could do a 180 back-flip, so they have a scene of him doing it multiple times in a row just to be catty to the love interest. And the creepy village setpiece, while out of nowhere with a convenient pommel horse in the main square for a fight scene, is legitimately creepy with some good shots and use of tone.

Watched Track of the Moon Beast last night and it was funny but mostly made me homesick. Reminded me of a movie my scout troop made back in high school (with about the same quality, though I'm pretty sure ours never showed outside of a VCR in an assembly hall). I need to find a chance to get back to NM for a visit.

Dawgstar posted:I re-watched the scene on Track of the Moon Beast where the Bots reenact the Halloween season rushing bit and found it more funny than I ever had before, simply by virtue of focusing on Mike. The man has a gift for doing something mundane and barely acknowledging the world around him and making it seem hilarious. (See also the 'Mike the audiophile' bit from The Creeping Terror.') People underestimate what a good straightman brings to the table.

Yeah, I've had to turn my system up to max to hear the movie. and just hope no commentator suddenly blows my ears out. "That's not a way to treat a phone, friend." "I bought him a drink, what more should I do?" was a great line though and I'm glad I turned things up enough to hear it.
