I'm looking to buy new Riffs, but I don't want to be stuck with a dud (Aeon Flux ). How would people rate:

Terminator Salvation
Dragon Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi

?

As a baseline, I consider Spider-Man 2 and The Happening the best so far.

You should probably list the ones you've bought already and we can suggest based off that.

For starters, there's The Room, Eragon as mentioned, Cloverfield, the Matrix trilogy, and 300. Those are all good ones, the first three especially.

Can anyone recommend a Rifftrax for one of the older movies? I'm too into the newer ones, but I want to know if the old movies have good riffs. Like 1989 and prior.

If it's got all three, or even two of three of the main trio riffing, it's worth watching. If it's just Mike, ehhhhhhhhhh.

Hey, here's a bit of info. Ages ago I was trying to get hold of a synced copy of eRagon - I'd bought the riff, borrowed the film, but couldn't get them to sync up without stopping it every 5-10 minutes. So I figured gently caress it, I'll download a pre-synced copy from a torrent site.

I checked around and could not find any, which surprised me. In fact there were hardly any rifftrax results at all. I found someone asking for some, and he'd gotten severely flamed because, you moron, Mike ASKED us not to pirate his rifftrax and goddammit we will respect Mike's wishes and if you want it you can loving buy it like the rest of us you cheap rear end in a top hat.

I guess it says more about the priorities of manchild nerds than anything else, but I still thought it was cute. I wonder if Mike realises he has an entire army of internet dorks at his command. We're just lucky he does not choose to harvest his awesome power for evil.

I ended up having to buy a presynced eRagon though.

you were using the wrong rifftrax file if it kept desynching and you were really using a DVD and not something downloaded. The only video I could not get synced no matter what was Episode 1. Using every type of file and the US version of Ep 1, it desynced every couple minutes.

Also, you BOUGHT a presynced Eragon Rifftrax? What? I hope that's just you covering yourself and is code for "I bought the rifftrax but didn't want to buy the movie so I torrented it" and you didn't actually pay some dude for a presynced video he probably got off a torrent site himself.

And I'll just say this, you put far too much faith in Rifftrax fans.

Saw (the movie, not the riff) wasn't anywhere nearly as bad as I had anticipated.

Aside from the near-omnipotence of the antagonist, it really wasn't that bad. Plus, Danny Glover.

Bob Shadycharacter posted:

I honestly don't really get the concept of "this movie is so bad I can't even watch it with the rifftrax"! I mean, none of these films are really as bad as half the stuff they did on MST3K so.
The difference between New Moon and the crap they had on MST3K is that that stuff was so bad it was fun to make fun of. New Moon is just so loving painful. It's aggressively bad. It aspires to make you want to punch all the characters repeatedly. Nothing in it is inherently funny, except imagining the horrible things the guy who plays Edward was probably thinking about twilight fans or the beast who created it.

edit: oh boy, Speed Racer! I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed it, the camp was obvious and anyone who took it seriously at all is a dumb baby. Also seeing it in digital(and being one of four people including my friend there didn't hurt) made it all the more overly colorful. If I had to put it in a single word, I think that word would be "dazzling". And when I say "dazzling", I don't mean brilliance in the intelligence sense.

I don't doubt they'll tear it to bits and I'll love every minute of it though.

Does anyone else buy the shorts?

Definitely, the Shorts are often better bang for your buck than the main Riffs themselves, they come pre-synced with the video itself so you don't have to buy anything more or deal with syncing, and are almost always a laugh riot. I think there's been a single Short I've been disappointed with, ever.

Drugs Are Like That, Patriotism, and the one with the drunk hobo Santa are the best. I had to pause Drugs Are Like That a couple times to catch my breath.

I've bought about six pages of them so far, probably going to finish the rest of them off in the next week or two. They're just so drat good overall. I've also been feeding friends at work Rifftrax Shorts to get them into ordering more.

Just finished my first viewing along with the riff.

Why wasn't his smurf body eaten by the many, many predators and scavengers on Pandora when it's lying in the ash fields for like 4 days?

Why did the robot suit have a giant knife? For robot suit knife fights?

Why did they think it was over forever when the military left? The Earth people aren't going to stop wanting stupidmagufinum. They'll just come back and nuke the gently caress out of the planet next time.

Why did this dumb movie make so much money?



Any way, the riff was great.

Honestly, if you didn't see it in IMAX, it's hard to understand. With it filling your entire view, in 3D, with surround sound and bowel-loosening subwoofers under your seat, if you let yourself get into it it was an experience. It's got a horribly wooden plot with awful, awful dialogue but the world itself, on that big screen, was really something to behold. Watching it now on an HDTV simply can't compare.


And halfway through the riff, it's been absolutely fantastic all the way. "DRAGONCON!"

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAH

edit: this is the best movie poster they've done, especially Sauron with googly eyes



and the description is just loving perfect

quote:

One of the hardest things to do with a popular series is to give it the conclusion it deserves. Some of the greatest entertainment phenomenons of our time, be it The Sopranos, Lost or Hi Honey, I'm Home! have failed to give fans the closure that they, as uninvolved spectators watching at home for free, feel they are entitled to. The Lord of The Rings series, on the other hand has mastered the art of delivering a satisfying conclusion. And The Return of The King does it so well, in fact, that it decides to end seven or eight times.

The final chapter of one of the most beloved trilogies of all time finds our characters picking up where they left off. Frodo and Sam continue onwards towards Mt. Doom, despite Frodo increasingly appearing to Sam as a walking roast turkey. Aragorn faces down one of lifes toughest questions: whether to embrace his true destiny, or to combine three flavors of Combos into one bag and lay on the couch with his shirt off eating them. Gimli and Legolas have started an organic dog biscuit bakery in Vermont. And Mushmouth is futilely trying to convince the gang to make him the Buck Buck breaker instead of Fat Albert.

All the while, the fearsome Eye of Sauron is observing their movements in a style that can best be described as "pretty funny when you really think about it." There's also drunken table dancing, Elven poetry and a spider proboscis that you would best be served to never think about if you're ever considering venturing into the outdoors again.

The journey through Cirith Ungol is never an easy one, so it's best to join up with Mike, Kevin and Bill, who have their very own Light of Earendil*, tin of pipeweed**, and satchel of Lembas Bread***

*Can of Raid

**Big League Chew

***Bag of combos with three different flavors of Combos combined in it

Pretty sure it won like 3-5 awards for being so amazing. If you haven't watched it, you should, the effort put into it was IMMENSE(all the chinese letter characters aren't like you'd see engrish as in foreign films, it all makes sense. All the fighting styles are based off of real martial arts, etc).

I agree that a discount code for previous buyers would be a good idea.

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.
