I don't like Rifftrax, I think they're p lame. Like, I saw Avatar: Last Airbender with the Rifftrack and the jokes were all "Wow this dialog/acting is bad hahaha!" or "Zoku said he doesn't have time to date girls, he must be gay hahaha!".

Alright, I'm trying to narrow down which really unpleasant looking foreign film I watch tonight. I've got it down to: Bullhead A Hijacking Mother Pieta A Touch of Sin Help me decide* *I'm probably gonna watch the one I feel like watching anyway, but feel free to try and sway me otherwise

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Yeah, it's not the funny kind of bad like Birdemic or The Room, it's just agonizingly bad. Honestly I found Birdemic even harder to sit through than Battlefield Earth. It's kind of funny in brief moments but overall it's just dull and dumb.

Unpleasant movies are dope. The movies that have made me the most uncomfortable are Antichrist, Trash Humpers, Salo, Cannibal Holocaust, Repulsion, Eraserhead, Pink Flamingos, Come and See, Only God Forgives and Possession and those are basically the top 10 movies of all time.

I will say that sometimes you never know how funny a movie really is until you see it with the right audience. Bloodsport is a film I've always loved but I was amazed at how much I was laughing when I saw it with an appreciative crowd. (Other thing that amazed me - how visually striking a film it was, projected in 35mm. The HK texture is awesome, and there's one shot where JCVD's doing the splits over a sunrise that made everyone gasp)

Unpleasant movies can be dope, but frankly if there's nothing there but unpleasantness I can't get behind it. Like, I love Eraserhead, Only God Forgives, Possession, and Come and See (which I really need to take off of my shameful list), but I somewhat dislike Salo and Antichrist and I've really soured on Cannibal Holocaust, because with all three they come off like the filmmakers were thinking "I want to make a movie that shocks people!" rather than just telling the story they wanted to tell and having it coincidentally be super uncomfortable.

DNS posted:I never thought O&A themselves were funny or likable but they used to have so many funny dudes on that I didn't really care. Yeah the comedians they'd have on all the time made the show really listenable until they lost their poo poo when Obama was elected. I haven't listened in years, and this news doesn't surprise me but this thread is the last place I expected to hear about it. Going to echo that the Face/Off bit is funny even though they're totally wrong; Face/Off rules.

Just went and saw A Hard Day's Night for the first time, in theaters, and that was just amazing. The entire movie I could not wipe the smile off of my face. Definitely going to be my go-to "be happy" movie once I get the Criterion blu in.

http://www.psp-tv.com/r/dgenerationass At 8 EST I'm doing a double feature of Mr. Mike's Mondo Video and Maniac Cop with Heavy Metal Parking Lot in the middle as a sort of intermission. As a pre-show I've got that There Will Come Soft Rains short and Lindsay Anderson's O Dreamland.

But I think a lot of what is lost between MST3K and Rifftrax is that they're not characters. I think having them play characters instead of being themselves actually allowed for a better group dynamic. Nope, it's 100% the movies they choose. It's a lot lamer when it's something you saw in theaters last year.

Yeah, with a Rifftrax, I'm never not aware that they're just reading lines off a script in time to the movie. Which is, of course, exactly what they were doing on MST3K, but somehow it just felt more real because they were characters and not just Mike Nelson The Person Reading Lines.

I liked the Rifftrax of Return of the Jedi. I think it was the fact that it was a movie they (and I) liked but still had a lot of things you can poke fun at.

I ordered Face/Off on Blu-Ray from Amazon because of that discussion earlier  I've seen it a bunch of times already but it never gets old and I want to watch it again in all its high-definition glory.Also a friend of mine hooked me up with passes for an advance screening of The Purge 2 next week, a week before it hits theaters

The other thing is that on MST3K, Mike and the gang (and Joel, too) had a genuine love for low-budget B-movies. The weakest part of MST3K is when they did stuff like Godzilla vs. Megalon it just kind of falls flat -- but they also introduced me to a lot of lesser-known cult films I probably never would have seen, which is why stuff like The Brain That Wouldn't Die is so amazing to me. It also helped that back then, Internet discussion wasn't as prolific outside of Usenet. In the day of Rifftrax, when they're primarily doing mainstream blockbusters like motherfucking Avengers, honestly half the jokes have already been made somewhere else.
