Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice




This was my first Rifftrax live in Madison and this was by far the best crowd I've seen. Menomonee Falls was usually empty except for myself and this guy who did a MST3K fan show complete with red jumpsuit. Brookfield had some good crowds and a larger theatre, but weren't into it nearly as much.

My theater did the slides but someone messed up on the sound so we didn't get any of the pre-show music.

You know, they announced that there was nudity and I was sure it was going to involve the space witches and not Ryder and Leah.

For all the poo poo movies that have gotten “ironic” sequels I’m surprised Space Mutiny hasn’t gotten one.

It now costs a lot of money to license SFX clips from old TV shows, so it's harder to pull that trick.

I thought it made more sense on a beat-to-beat basis, but holy poo poo if them space witches could have just fixed the whole thing instead of all those dang explosions and deaths and people being cryogenically frozen for no apparent reason that would have been neat.

Hell, just a movie of Battlestar footage would have been better. Just the ships, though. Nothing else.

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.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the Ballarians were added to the movie after it was finished to try and "fix" all the plot holes. Which would explain why they never appear in a scene with any of the major characters apart from the one with Cameron Mitchell.

Oh come on! I just bought $35 worth of crap I didn't own yet this morning using the 15% and my kickstarter gift cards. Do they not even want our money any more with all these discounts and gift cards?! Still, I don't mind them having a little extra of my money by not stacking all the codes.

Sorta. Rifftrax applies the largest discount first, then the next biggest, then the next until the smallest discount. So it's not 30% off, it's a bit less than that, like 27%. Say you buy $20 worth of riffs. The 15% discount takes it down to $17 and then 10% is taken off that, rather than the original subtotal. So you get $15.30 and finally $14.54. Still a lot though.

Welcome to... The Dark.

quote:

Are you afraid of The Dark? You should be. Not because it’s scary, it most certainly isn’t, but because it will rattle your brains if you try too hard to understand what it’s about.

Is it a 70s cop drama about a serial killer? Or a monster movie about a demonic alien creature zapping people with its laser vision? The answer is somehow both, but also neither. William Devane, currently starring in commercials where he convinces older folks it’s a good idea to put all their money in gold, is a “sexy” former cop turned novelist (sure, why not) out to avenge his daughter’s death in a battle against… whatever is happening in The Dark. Really, we spent a lot of time with this movie and we’re still not sure, we’d love your help.

Rounding out the cast of stock 70s character actors who appeared in multiple episodes of Columbo, we’ve got “voice of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo” Casey Kasem as a grim police coroner, Cathy Lee Crosby, and Richard Jaeckel, who keen-eyed Rifftrax fans may recognize as the scientist who got yelled at by shirtless Leslie Nielsen in Day of the Animals.

So yeah, there’s a lot to love in The Dark. But not a lot to see, because it’s dark. Step into the murk of the late 70s with Mike, Kevin, and Bill, and savor the darky darkness of… The Dark!

The film feels like an episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker but without any of the brisk pacing, humor, or Darren McGavin's overacting. So it's really just lots of night scenes and ugly 70s actors.

The Dark was made by the original incarnation of Film Ventures International. Could The Visitor be far behind?

The Dark was written and filmed with the killer being an abused child who'd spent his whole life living in an attic, but late in production they decided to cash in on the success of Star Wars and make the killer an alien.

The end of Day of the Animals is such an amazing cop out. Crazy animals are all dead and the ozone problem went back to normal. Nobody had to actually do anything. Also the weird cancer storyline went absolutely nowhere because the guy just dies.
