I understand the mindset of doing tracks for popular movies that people will actually own (and therefore be more inclined to buy the Rifftrax), but I really wish they could stick to the trio of Mike, Kevin and Bill doing crap films. I listened to the tracks for Empire Strikes Back and Jurassic Park last night and hardly cracked a smile. Star Wars Holiday Special on the other hand? Laughed my ass off.

I guess I need to give Twilight a try...

Now up to $69.99. No longer a decent buy.

Got to get everything ready for the 20% off sale.

$7 per Rifftrax disc is still a good deal.

aside from the review for 'Night of the Living Dead' - anyone else watch it, opinions? I must admit I wasn't all that impressed with the solo 'riff' of the film from Mike on the Fox Home Video DVD.

I liked it but they recycled enough stuff that I noticed from when I bought the solo one when it first came out years ago. Same with the other Legend titles they redid.

The question to ask yourself is, would the solo one be improved by having more than one person saying the jokes?

But the delivery is also pretty different. Those solo releases felt kind of like a regular audio commentary that was funny. The Redotrax are much closer to to MST3K style.

Speaking of which, just got Vol. XV this very moment. Awwww, yeah!

I watched The Room last night.

Wow

Funny Rifftrax....horrid, yet also funny, movie. Loved the Arrested Development reference.

From Mike's Twitter feed:

"michaeljnelson: Big things brewing at RiffTrax. Things so big that the mere mention of them blinded half our staff with their radiance. And they loved it."

The Room has been one of the best ones i have seen yet. Oh, hi Chew.

Twilight was also ridiculously funny. My wife has requested to watch the Twilight one about 3 times now - she loves it.

We started Eragon tonight but i am just not feeling it. The movie is kind of dull and the rifftrack is funny - but not roll on the floor funny like some of the others.

I really enjoyed the trax, but the movie made me feel dirty by the end of it. A love triangle between a Spencer from the Hills knockoff, a piece of Eurotrash and a fuggly chubster was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.

Oh, hi xmiyux.
Oh, hi sidewalk.

Rifftrax is doing a live show, beamed to a theater near you:

Sweet! Except that every time I've hit one of these Fathom events they've had problems with the feed.

The Room is life changing. Everyone must see it.

I agree entirely. It is a hilarious movie with the riff.

awesome! and near my home - wish Mazza though had an actual DLP unit and not the substandard hidef projector.

I listened to the Night of the Living Dead Rifftrax commentary Monday night. I thought it was okay for the most part. Mike, Kevin and, Bill all had funny lines, but it was just a little on the boring side. That's my only complaint.

Hopefully Plan 9 From Outer Space and/or both the Shorts DVDs (Which I ordered) will be a little funnier.

Plan 9 Rifftrax is coming to a theatre in Oklahoma which is suprising. I'm pretty sure that I won't be going but it's still pretty cool it's happening.

Now, if The Room were showing I would be there in a heartbeat.

I just noticed the Rifftrax account at YouTube got suspended. Did some studio get snitty about being riffed or having their footage posted online?

I ordered my tickets though I have heard the Night of the Living Dead riff three times now. I really hope there are no issues with the feed after the disaster of their online streamed show.

I believe it was Fox that got snotty with them, yes, and went crying to YouTube.

What a joke. Don't these companies realize that it is causing rifftrack fans to go rent or even buy their movies when they might not otherwise have picked them up? The Twilight rifftrack was funny enough that i bought the movie so i could have repeat viewings. I never would have bought the film without the rifftrack.

It's just YouTube. You can't even mention that you've thought about seeing a movie on YouTube without that studio immediately filing a copyright infringement warning on you.

It is pretty sad that they don't appreciate the easy revenue being generated for them by an endeavour like Rifftrax (as with xmiyux's purchase of TWILIGHT). I can understand it if someone posts an entire movie there without permission (not that it doesn't happen at a million other sites anyways ), but these guys were just posting clips. Too bad that doesn't fall under some kind of fair use guidelines, but I guess not.

Warner Music is also pretty anal. They removed the sound from a couple of my clips because of the music in them. One was a clip from the 70's drive-in movie MALIBU BEACH (not a Warner title, but the clip might have driven some folks to seek it out), the other from a Taiwanese movie that blatantly used American rock songs on its soundtrack without paying fees, and which I posted largely as an example of the practise in that region. Of course, its much easier to make a few clicks at Youtube than it is to go after the Chinese film industries, which have been pilfering American and European music for decades without permission!
