Slasherfan posted:I decided to edit one of the scenes in Birdemic to see if I could make it better. I'm not sure if I succeeded. This took me 20 minutes to do using Windows Movie Maker. This looks like an amateur movie where they had to use the 'pause' button on the side of the camcorder and then 'cut' to the next scene. I like to imagine the director running from car to car in the parking lot filming these two. Bobulus posted:People saying Manos was the worst MST3K clearly didn't watch The Wild World of Batwoman, which nigh-unwatchable, even with riffing. The completely incoherent plot, the bad sound levels, the mexican-wrestler villain, the racism played for comedy, footage borrowed from The Mole People, etc, etc. I'd say the worst movies featured on MST3K would be a toss-up between Batwoman for the reasons described above (that awful fake Chinese bit is nearly as repugnant as the animal cruelty in Catching Trouble); The Castle of Fu Manchu for it's meandering, Tarkovsky-paced nonsense of people running around caves, the film suddenly losing all light for 30 seconds at a time, and tinted stock footage; and finally Attack of the The Eye Creatures for it's beyond-loathsome disgusting characters, painful attempts at humor, and nothing goddamn happening. I have not been able to sit through those episodes a second time. Robert Denby fucked around with this message at Mar 1, 2011 around 01:13 |

I'm watching the Birdemic Rifftrax right now and the movie itself is so painfully bad that I can't even believe it. This movie needs to get shot into space. The Rifftrax is pretty fantastic though.

Finally getting around to watching Birdemic, my god, the part with the coat hangers. I think I hurt something. "I EGRET NOTHING!" edit: how can you hate this movie, sure the first half hour or so is utterly creepy, but then the hilarity train starts and just won't stop! It's a birdemic, let's have lunch out at the picnic tables in the wide open field! Brilliant! This movie is amazing. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at Mar 8, 2011 around 04:04 |

For me it was Rod's presentation on 'solrpnls' and how he keeps mispronouncing two simple words in increasingly insane ways. I was laughing until I was reduced to wheezing. I really hope they do callbacks to 'due to the shortage of food, such as seals.'

I think Rod's actor just had a for real speech impediment. I guess that's what you get when you hire models instead of actors.

When we watched it there were mostly people who had never seen it before and were wondering where the Birds were. After the fully-clothed sex scene how it just cuts to DIVE BOMBING EAGLES we had to stop the movie for a good ten minutes to stop laughing/clean up spilled drinks.

In the Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 commentary track the director says they had a choice between and actor that looked good or a decent actor and they went with the one that looked good. Slightly depressing in a way.

In preparation for the shitiness that will be Transformers 3, I'm watching Transformers 2, and I'm really missing the subtlety and brilliant acting of Birdemic right now. This would be loving unwatchable without Rifftrax. Nonononononononononono runrunrunrunrunrunrun PEW PEW EXPLOSION!!!!

So now Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny is available on physical DVD for purchase. I haven't even watched the ISO I downloaded from them yet. However, I still want it on DVD officially from them, but wish there was a 50% off code or something if you got the digital download. Even 30% off would be nice.

 quote:According to legend, the screenplay for cult favorite Highlander appeared when a basement-dwelling metalhead kicked over his bong in a futile attempt to stand after consuming two “share size” bags of Combos and a tube of raw cookie dough. The bong water within, which was ancient and, indeed, nearly solid, spewed forth across the shag carpeting, musty since times of old. The mystic fluid soaked all in its path, including a half-completed “Society for Creative Anachronism” application, one WWF comic book, a cassette containing Queen’s greatest hits, and two or three Dragonlance novels. From the resultant mist, which did reek mightily of Mountain Dew, the film was born. And yea, the world spoke as one: “We won’t see this in theaters but we might check it out on VHS later, maybe.” gently caress I can't wait!!

Yeah, I JUST bought Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny a few days ago, 10 dollars, and as much as I love Rifftrax, I don't want to shell out an extra 10 for the physical copy after buying the online one.  I agree that a discount code for previous buyers would be a good idea. weekly font posted:When we watched it there were mostly people who had never seen it before and were wondering where the Birds were.

LITERALLY dive bombing eagles, no less. Eagles, packed with explosives. I guess they got bitten by the Cloverfield Monster.

Find it amusing that their twitter for each guy is them talking about their post rifftrax beer and then taking a picture of the other two. So you have both Mike, Kevin, and Bill each posting the same thing, but at different angles.

I once corrected Bill (he said he was "balding") and I never got any hateful replies  He did block me for like, 20 minutes. I was honestly trying to be funny. And how can you call those guys old? Mike, Bill and Kevin pretty much look exactly like they did back in MST3K. Joel and Trace, though, those guys got hit by the aging truck.

 quote:If you’re a normal, reasonable person, your knowledge of the Karate Kid franchise likely begins and ends with the following items: the phrase “Sweep the leg,” that awesome “You’re the best around” song, and the ironic Cobra Kai t-shirt you purchased online. But, lucky for you, we at RiffTrax are neither normal nor reasonable, and so we know that the richest, fattiest, saltiest meat of the series lies within Karate Kid III. Please, ignore everything you know about diminishing sequel quality, box office success, and critical acclaim, and just trust us on this one!

Lambert sounds like a cross between Wiseau and Mel Brooks if he smoked two packs a day. EDIT: In other words, vaguely like Peter Lorre. Robert Denby fucked around with this message at Mar 18, 2011 around 16:35 |

I was re-reading the thread, trying to find some good recommendations for shorts I don't already own, and, well....Ensign_Ricky in 2008 posted:It occurred to me that the one film that practically begs for a good hard riffing is Highlander. Highlander 2 not so much, because, well, kicking a cripple is not exactly sporting, now is it?

I just went and bought the 6 Shorts DVDs I don't own yet, and that rounds up the collection. They're particularly good for my iPhone, so I have something to watch while on my dinner break. I also emailed them two days ago asking them if they could give some kind of discount for the Santa & The Ice Cream Bunny DVD since I already purchased it as a digital copy, but never got a reply.  Here's hoping the last two live shows come out soon. I might pick up those and Plan 9 Live, even though I didn't make it to that show.

Man, its been so long since I've seen Highlander I'd forgotten just how weird and goofy it was. Like how there's absolutely NO explanation for any of the "immortal" crap like the Quickening or the Gathering. It just happens, okay?
