(heavy sigh) Norman Krasner, the original short (Not the first one riffed but I think the Norman short). A short film about a man who needs to poop but can't afford it, finds out the guy in the next stall is DTF after feeling him up, wipes his rear end with the Mona Lisa, and is forever imprisoned. I don't know if it is anywhere close to the funniest riff but this is certainly a strange short. And why is it black and white in 1974?!

Guy Axlerod posted:People being surprised with Rifftrax is the premise of their intro, and it makes no sense. To anyone else who is as dumb as me, I clicked the kickstarter backer link in the email from this week and finally it sunk in what it said on that page. You need to use the link from backerkit to unlock the content. Of course I just bought the Summer Shorts VOD earlier this week which was part of the bundle. Have they had any more details about the Rifftrax Prime? I'm mostly curious if the videos will have DRM or if I can download them like purchases are now. I've just passed 200 items purchased since Aug 17, 2007 so it is clear that I should just be paying them a subscription but I'd hate to pay for a few years then lose access if I unsubscribe. Or is Riff-prime more for people who don't already own 80% of their catalog?

Oh nice, they also have The Sword and the Dragon MST3K for sale, which is the only episode from the Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXIV DVD that I do not have and I love this movie. I understand about as much of what is happening in Sword and Dragon as I do in Last Slumber Party. I watched a bunch of Rifftrax with hurricane Irma refugees staying in my house because my house is at twelve feet of elevation /proud. Between the all of us we're not quite sure what the gently caress anyone but Shelley Hack is doing in that movie.* * [/spoiler]Shelley Hack does not actually make an appearance in the movie.[/spoiler]

muscles like this! posted:When a Stranger Calls Back got added to Amazon Prime and its such a weird movie. Like how the movie is a little over an hour and a half long but almost 30 minutes is taken up by this interminable opening scene where a young woman pretends to make phone calls multiple times. EDIT: I just watched the last 10 minutes of that movie again. What the hell! CapnBry fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Oct 13, 2017 |

A Big Dark Yak posted:A friend and I split a bottle of brandy to try to get through this movie, and it was so impossibly bad, still. The riff for it could be amazing or terrifying. I also bought "A Talking Pony!?!" on DVD because I never saw it come across on Prime and I wanted to riff it with my pony-loving friend. I was sad because after it went through post-production it got renamed to "A Pony Tale" (to distance itself the cat picture?) which is not nearly as fun a name. Spoiler alert though, it is still about a talking horse. The rules aren't as complicated as the talking cat rules though so I recommend it to anyone who is confused by the "A Talking Cat!?!" canon but still loves establishing shots.

Wow they really have a ton of Rifftrax on Prime now. I'm not sure how long some of these have been on their list but here's some I'd recommend if you haven't seen them:

The power went out at the mall where we were, 20 minutes prior to the show. It was only out for a couple seconds but it took like 15 minutes for the computers to reboot and go through some sort of file checking procedure before we could stare at a single preshow card for another 15 minutes while the theater found someone who knew how to get the live feed up. While they were working on it on their Windows XP machine or something we saw a youtube video on an ostrich eating popcorn, a window with some Regal Cinema preshow video running, audio from like 8 different things playing at once, then a window with the Rifftrax preshow playing from the beginning again, then finally Rifftrax LIVE 20 minutes into the show. Luckily after rewinding and replaying the same 10 seconds about 50 times, someone figured out how to skip back to the beginning. Then a minute later we got the audio. Classic Rifftrax gag! This was a great show after that though, which was funny in its own way, and I laughed until I cried with a roughly half full larger theater. The theater I usually go to only had 60 seats for their showing and 52 of them were taken when I checked yesterday morning. Not bad crowds and seeing this movie on the big screen was a delight.

Am I the only person that didn't realize that the girl coming over for tutoring was not the caterer's daughter? I had a real Morty's Mind Blowers when the two of them appeared on the screen at the same time near the end. drat white girls all look the same to me. I would have said she had an unnatural affinity for swimming pools, but everyone seemed to have a hardon for swimming pools. I guess they are pretty rare in Cali-maui-eattle.

I'm still confused though, who was Krull? I didn't think they could make a slower-paced Lord of the Rings but Krull proved me wrong. Long shots of a flying mountain, scene after scene of horse riding, and who can forget two separate acts dedicated to guys walking alone to places? Each to his fate! Well poo poo, I do kind of want that tshirt. Thanks a lot, Google.

That's pretty awesome, especially considering Laser Mission is one of my favorite all-time Rifftrax. It just got another star in my book!

Mr. Fowl posted:Honestly, this is only a half-joke. Roughly half the director's filmography is "people running around a nice house half-naked". TIL that Shelley Hack is a real person on Charlie's Angels for a season, among other things. Tell that to Shelley Hack!

IUG posted:In Kodi I just use the TV thing for the shorts, and put the feature length Rifftrax in my regular movie library. I use a smart playlist to look for "Rifftrax" in the file path, and a second smart playlist that is every movie besides that. I need to make another one that is stuff where I have the mp3s to go with the movies, rather than the baked-in ones.

InsertPotPun posted:the entire thing exploded on the runway. mike couldn't hear anyone so he just started singing to himself and then trying to think of "stranger things" jokes. he had something about throwing "stranger rings" into mount doom. It was pretty funny that the riff finally started to go OK then Mike just kept singing and telling jokes over the riff because he could not hear.

AvesPKS posted:The first time I watched it, I must've rewound the opening van sequence like 5 times. There are so many good jokes in that one part. It ends very weak in my opinion but the first half of the movie is one of my favorites. I didn't want Rifftrax to change to VOD because I really liked the riffs of movies I would not have otherwise seen, like Twilight being a movie I tried to watch but couldn't and now have seen 3 or 4 times with the riff. I had never seen a Harry Potter movie until it was riffed as well, and the first couple were really funny. I've seen them all now but the first ones were the best because: WHIMSY! Now I only like the VODs, just the jokes are a just enough of a pain to watch or merge my rip with that I only get a handful of them.

BaronVonVaderham posted:We recently watched Last Woman on Earth (the movie itself was just bizarre), and the difference between those guys and Bridget & Mary Jo really stands out. I can see why people like them, but they aren't for me  I also just watched this last night and was confused by the movie. I wasn't sure if it was trying to say the husband was a jerk because I thought every guy back then was a jerk who expected the wife to just cook and clean, even after an apocalypse? Meanwhile the lawyer is just a nihilist or something because he gives no fucks.
