Well?
I've heard a lot of opinions on the forums on this subject... figured we could get some numbers.
Weigh in!

I'm not really interested in just "whatever's currently being released--let's riff on that!"
So I didn't buy Cloverfield or Spider Man 3, and I'm not buying I Am Legend. Come on, guys.

I buy everything eventually. I'd like to see more older films done or films from differing genres (Disney please!), but I'm still happy with what is being released.

Ditto, except I will be buying Spider-Man 3 because the movie was terrible (haven't yet because I'm still working on my Beowulf re-author). But I'm stopping at Cloverfield and I Am Legend. And I've bought EVERY riff up to this point. |

Thats similar to the reason that I don't buy the shorts. They slowed down on the "real releases"and I figured that not buying them right away would help show my dissent. I'm sure the shorts are funny and I can guarantee that I will buy them eventually, however I want to see where the hell they're going with the whole '99 cent short vs. releasing real-Rifftrax'. |

And I've bought EVERY riff up to this point. I should clarify--I'm not a 100% purchaser. I pick and choose. I have probably 40-50% off the Rifftraces released, and some of those are of recent movies of extremely dubious quality (Eragon, for example) and are wonderful. I just don't buy what I don't want. And I haven't wanted a new one for awhile. So don't take my word as some kind of rabid-mouthed fanatic with a fist of cash slobbering "YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS AGAIN!" It's more that, "Hey, I'm picky, and I"m not going to buy just whatever gets cranked out." |

Ah, but you need to get Road House. It is truly delicious. |

And yet you both just lost all forum credibility  In all seriousness Rifftrax as a company probably has more fans that are selective. Riffaholics are probably in the minority category. I watch them all because Rifftrax is my favorite "show" if you will. I also DVR every episode of The Soup. It really depends on what preferences you have as an individual, I'd imagine you both have something that you never / rarely miss. |

The first couple episodes of the new season of Doctor Who, for example. But I dunno...I'm definitely, these days, of the opinion that if I don't like something I just try to ignore it. I'd be a lot more upset, I think, if I were more attached to the RTs. |

I pick and choose only out of necessity. Stupid money. If I had my druthers, the completist in me would go hog wild. I have never had any buyer's remorse even if I do end up liking one movie over another. |

I don't buy every one, but I have the majority. It doesn't matter to me what films you guys do. If I don't like it, I won't buy it. I think you guys probably already have an answer with your sales numbers. The forum probably has the most vocal fans, but I doubt it has the majority of fans (it may...you guys know the purchase numbers). I don't think it's selling out to sell what the majority of your fans like and buy more, but it is nice to give the vocal fans a shout out and release something for them every now and again, regardless of the sales numbers. That being said, I'm expecting That Movie or Dune next week  |
