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?

Hey guys, remember when Mike and the guys did Raiders, and everyone thought they did an awesome job with a perfect movie? Holy gently caress.  Rifftrax posted:Just speak the word "jaws" to anyone and their pulse quickens, the hair on the back of their neck stands up as a dim memory rises to the surface of their consciousness - a memory of the first time they saw Murray Hamilton. Most likely it was in an episode of B.J. and the Bear, or perhaps The F.B.I with Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., but if not that, then his turn as the sartorially resplendent, gravelly voiced mayor of Amity in Jaws, the movie that made a generation of people afraid to go into the water (they were justifiably terrified of getting a skin disease from coming in contact with Quint's run-off.) Yes, long before blockbusters like Spider-Man 2, Shrek the Third, or Garden State there was Jaws, the story of small town mayor Larry Vaughn (played by the magnificent Murray Hamilton) and his quest to find the perfect jacket to wear while resisting the whining of Richard Dreyfuss. There is also a shark.

IUG posted:So it's weird when you buy movies for the Rifftrax that goes along with it. Tonight I might be watching Predator, coincidently. Whenever I buy a Rifftrax I tend to buy a short with it now. Basically I was hoping someone could just shoot off a random suggestion. I already have Are You Popular?, Drugs Are Like That, Good Health Practices, and Trouble With Women. I thought Predator had Kevin too?

I am very disappointed in Mike right now. The first 5 movies listed at the bottom of the page are Road House, Red Dawn, Point Break, Dirty Dancing, and Ghost.  Oh well, can't really blame the guys for wanting to make a buck.

I for one would like to see what they could do with the entire run of This Island Earth instead of the chopped up version that was on the movie. Also, it'd be different seeing as it'd be Bill instead of Trace.

And this Friday...one of the great epics of hilarity comes to an end... Return of the Jedi. For sixteen years, it was widely regarded as the worst chapter in the Star Wars saga. We now look back upon this period of time, appalled and embarrassed at how naive we were. For while Return of the Jedi may be slow to get started, while it may delay the final confrontation between Luke and Vader in favor of an endless Ewok/Stormtrooper battle, while it may feature C3PO as its main character for the first twenty minutes and while it may have killed off Salacious Crumb instead of making him the focus of the entire movie, consider this: nobody utters the line "Yippee". Return of the Jedi begins where The Empire Strikes Back left off: with George Lucas deciding which scenes to ruin by inserting a musical number by a hideous creature named Sy Snootles, who sounds like Disembaudio did before he took singing lessons. The dance scene is vital to the plot: how were we, the audience members supposed to know whether or not Jedi rocked, unless there was a song included in the movie named "Jedi Rocks"? Yes, the song is sung in a foreign tongue and the only way you'd know it was called "Jedi Rocks" was if you bought the soundtrack, but ignoring those irrelevant points, we can finally conclude after watching six episodes of Star Wars, a task that would take up well over half of one day of your life, that Jedi do in fact, Rock. Fans of puppets, Hutts and metal bikinis: your ship has come in. Cancel your weekend trip to the Great Pit of Carkoon, boil up a big bowl of Tatooine paddy frogs and call up your buddy Nien Numb to come sit next to you even though you don't speak the same language: we're finally riffing Return of the Jedi. As this is the final chapter in the Star Wars saga for RiffTrax to tackle, Mike, Kevin and Bill would like to take the time to reminisce about their favorite moments in the series. Here they are in order: The time Jar Jar became a senator and the time Stinky the Hutt was kidnapped. Thank you and good night. Please note: As with Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, we riffed the Special Edition of the movie. If you own Return of the Jedi on DVD, you already have the right version.

Rocketfish posted:Dude, these guys need to do "Daybreakers", badly. That movie was a perfect mix of passable film marred with the most disjointed insertions of horrible writing and directing decisions I have ever seen. Best unintentional comedy of the year. Actually, after watching RotJ, and hearing the sheer number of Avatar jokes, I have little doubt that its going to be featured as soon as it hits stores.

Coming next: RiffTrax.com posted:Paranormal Activity succeeds by putting the viewer in the most deviously terrifying position ever imagined by a filmmaker: captive audience to an idiot's home movie. It recreates the experience of being stuck in a room with Micah (pronounced MEEK-uh, or DOOSH-bag), the kind of guy you immediately want to start punching and never stop punching until the punching is done. The kind of guy who spends his free time at the mall, conspicuously checking out 16-year olds while chatting loudly on his Bluetooth headset about hair gels. In short, Micah is a super sweet dude.

From Mike's Twitter, it sounds like the next riff may be painful:michaeljnelson posted:Check out this astounding x-ray of my skull minutes after watching the movie "Speed Racer". The knife was probably to stop the crazy light induced seizures. (Seriously though, my wife's neurologist advised her not to see Speed Racer based on the crazy effects had a good chance of setting off her epilepsy. How messed up is that?)

CrumFUNist! posted:City Limits wasn't boring, it had that cheesy '80s quality to it that made it watchable to an extent. It also had the Kim Cattrall song. And caused this awesome story: The MST3K Wiki posted:“I was in my hotel room and was channel surfing. And what do I hear but my own name being sung by a small golden man. And it just went on like that. I yelled for my boyfriend to come in and see this. We were just in shock. A few minutes later, one of my lesser accomplishments came on: ‘City Limits.’ I called my publicity agent and asked him if Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a real show. He said yes. I called my florist and had an odd request: to send a bouquet of flowers to a Crow T. Robot.” Did Trace ever get those flowers I wonder....

Revolvyerom posted:"Line..." at this point completely breaks my enjoyment of a riff. They use it in about a third of their riffs now, and it's jarring to hear the same joke used repeatedly. Was funny the first few times. They did the same thing in the MST days though. There was always at least one "Calgon, take me away!" joke, in the Joel Era, there were constant "Hey, its the NBC mystery movie!" jokes.... So, it's not really a new phenomenon.
