Dammit, went to buy tickets for the encore but according to Cinemark's site it's sold out?

CrashCat posted:Weird, they never sell out here and there's only like two theaters in the area that even show Fathom events. I would just call the theater and ask, or show up if you got nothing better to do. Yeah I think I'll head down there anyway. Might be a website thing.

Apparently they're just not showing the encore. That's disappointing.

He'd just left a few years ago and apparently didn't get along with the current producer.

There's an awful lot of stuff in the script that they obviously couldn't realize properly. Obviously Sarah Jane was supposed to fall off a steep drop into a ditch, but well the stunt person isn't available and we couldn't find a ditch that looked right and you don't want Lis Sladen to hurt herself so, etc. Ditto the "come and see" bit where Susan spots something that's... been in front of them the whole time, I guess they were supposed to come around a bend. Even then I'm given to understand this was a relatively big production for them with all the location filming and the size of the cast.

Also the show was black and white and made on BBC production values, the movies were COLOUR and WIDESCREEN

The Christmas Circus one is interesting. I'm from Kansas City, and while Whizzo was probably retired by the time I was growing up, I do recall some local retrospectives mentioning him as the famous local clown show. So that was a fun surprise- and also, clearly a man trying desperately to fill time. The short film at the start is the best, though.

Yeah it actually loses steam when the bird attacks start, because the real draw is the awkward renderings of the basics of human interaction. And suhpals.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I watched Krull for the first time recently and it was... okay? It's definitely a bad movie, but it's one of the rare ones that's able to hold your attention. Should be decent riff material, especially the dodgy Cyclops mask. The only real problem- but it's kind of a big one- is that the film's entire second act is basically "the characters try to figure out where the bad guy's fortress will teleport to next." It really feels like the plot isn't moving at all because it's just them looking for directions.

Space Mutiny manages to somehow make less sense in an unedited format.

It now costs a lot of money to license SFX clips from old TV shows, so it's harder to pull that trick.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:Retro Puppet Master is just... an utterly ill-conceived movie on every level. Like, even aside from the acting blowing chunks, the whole idea of the movie is dumb as hell even by Full Moon/DeCoteau standards and it actively retcons one of the better movies in the franchise. I've got the Full Moon add-on to my Amazon Prime thing and they, as a studio, have gone HEAVY into A) jokey self-referential poo poo and B) just plain repackaging footage of older movies into "compilations" that are entirely pointless in the age of streaming.

The basic problem with Krull is how much time is devoted to figuring out exactly where the bad guy’s evil fortress is gonna be. Solo has the distinction of being the most visually ugly Star Wars movie. It’s so pointlessly murky.

Yeah I'm honestly surprised NatGeo went ahead and aired them because it's basically pointing out how total loving bullshit the show is.

muscles like this! posted:This post is the devil's son! A lot of low budget movies have this kind of community theater element where it’s like, “I know someone who’s in a band, we can have them play a song in our movie” and to Hell with pacing or a narrative you gotta give your pal this opportunity plus it’ll help fill time right?

muscles like this! posted:The goofiest thing about those movies is how bad the continuity is for something so simple. Poverty Row was something else- the studios in those days had such a hold on talent and resources that what few independents there were had to take whatever they could get.

The point of sequels back then was to strike while the iron was hot and amortize the costs by spreading them over a series as long as you could before diminishing returns made it unprofitable.

Blood Waters of Dr. Z is fascinating really. They went all-in on making the villain just this weird creepy guy.

Honestly I don't think I have any, because one of the joys of Rifftrax is that even among the current groups of folks doing riffs, they have a knack for finding just the most goddamn baffling poo poo out there. It's always just such a wonderful surprise when they find something like Fun In Balloonland or To Catch A Yeti and you sit there in slack-jawed awe trying to parse out why such a thing even exists.
