Yeah, I don't think the old format Rifftrax needed permissions. They were just an audio track you play along the movie. No different legally than a podcast talking about a movie.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they don't have to pay anything for audio only riffs, which is how they got started

You also can't make a rifftrax for Twilight that's better than the actual commentary of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson dunking on it the entire time.

Kevin DuBrow posted:Maybe Michael Jackson is cheating but the plot of the musical short Ghosts is that his character moved into a spooky house on the edge of town and he's been entertaining local children who come to see him perform. A group of concerned parents show up saying things like "you're a freak! Get out of here! We don't like our kids hanging around you!" and he wins them over with the power of dance. Apparently when he starred on the famous Simpsons episode he specifically requested the script include him safely being able to sleep in Bart's room.

Hoo-boy, caught a real doozy this week. Youtube has the original 1943 Batman. In the first few minutes the camera pans across empty stores with Japanese writing, and the narrator talks about "our wise government who rounded up these people and moved them away from the coast". Yikes. I hadn't known how widespread the knowledge of that was.

It was all over the news back then. They weren't ashamed of it. Reading the editorials is quite sobering.

It's also the first ever Batman adaptation and invented the batcave. I saw it air on Turner classic movies with a big warning up front about it.

What was invented in what was kind of fuzzy back then. Like a lot of popular Superman concepts came from the radio show.

Support among Americans for concentration camps and ethnic cleansing is unfortunately pretty evergreen. There’s a sizable minority who will support a lot of bad things if they have the sense that such ideas are popular or that they’re protected from the consequences of voicing their beliefs.

This is still on topic because it's claiming Batman already has poorly aged and all. I really can't stop reading this line.quote:But the problem is that the character of The Riddler is ultimately right. He does help to expose a complex web of corruption spun by Gotham’s shadowy elites. So The Batman is commenting on the dangers of these fringe internet communities while also validating their wild theories? That seems … pretty messed up. "Woah this Batman movie showed Gotham as corrupt and created a tragic villain who was pushed to madness and terrorism by the corrupt system? That's pretty messed up, it's like they love Q and Trump or something, smh" Imagine being too dumb to understand Batman, a movie where a man dresses as a bat and punches the mentally ill, or The Mummy, a movie where a himbo and his friends have a bad vacation.

I tried some googling and didn’t turn up anything but I vaguely remember both Oded Fehr and Omar Djalili saying it was a pleasure and it was very good to get to portray thoroughly middle-eastern characters who weren’t villains in the movie. I’d be hard pressed to call Fehr’s role in particular any less of a supporting character than anyone else.

There are legitimate criticisms to be made against The Mummy. They did not do that.sexpig by night posted:yea I remember back a bit ago there was also a kinda 'backlash' against The Mummy (making this sound far too dramatic of course) on the same 'oh it's a meme movie now? Well here's why it's actually morally bad to like the movie' and people pulled out multiple interviews with actual middle eastern actors and all from it going 'we had a great time, loved the project, I had fun with my role and think we did some good while making a fun movie' and it quickly died down to just generic 'well, it's not as good as you're saying it is' taste issues.

Nice to see Cracked remains literal years behind the curve on pop culture and discourse.

I assume the editor of Cracked just hands out assignments based on the righthand panel of their Twitter feed. The actual content of the Mummy article probably doesn't matter and isn't itself intended to age well. Had the Boris Karloff Mummy aged well? Imo yes it's great.

I don't think there's an editor there anymore cus the old guy hosed off to go help Brian Brushwood's Magic and loving Around community so I assume it's just a giant TRON MCP head that demands more clicks, or that creepy face from Time Bandits that just screams "Give me more clicks".

I don't know if it counts as aging well or just being so long since it was made that it just comes off as hilarious when the one archeologist is outraged that one of the requirements for their digs were that the Egyptian government wanted the Egyptian artifacts to stay in Egypt. Also, a better film overall than Dracula (fight me).

The second to last thing I saw from Cracked was a video of "What if NFT ads were honest" and then the last thing I saw when I went to see what Cracked was up to these days is that they're selling a $30 course (actually worth hundreds of dollars per class etc.) on how crypto and NFTs work and how to invest in them.
