It had its moments, especially towards the end.  There have been better riffs out there.  I give it a 7/10

I have never actually seen Casablanca before, but the movie arrived yesterday.

So, I guess what I am hearing is I should watch the movie unriffed first, then riffed.

Bob, in my opinion, do whatever feels natural. I feel strongly about this film, but it is, just a film. It's not the cure for cancer, it's not tearing down the Berlin wall, it's not Lucas admitting that trying to soften Han's image by having Greedo shoot first was a horrible idea. It's just a movie.

LMFAO!  It takes work to lead us from Casablanca to Han Solo firing first!

Haven't watched the riff yet, but I would recommend watching it unriffed first.  Just watched it for the first time in years and surprised myself with how much I liked it.

Edward, you've been here long enough to know it's just going to be a long string of 9s?  :D

Sorry, but there's a movie that's just gotten a string of nines? This is the only unanimous vote I've ever seen.

(for starters there's always the dickhole that anonymously votes 2)

The grades all seem to run along the same lines. Along with anonymous dickhole vote. Hell,  I don't even know why I'm here. Ah the existential angst of it all!  ;)

how does voting a movie 2 make you a dickhole exactly? If anything the dickholes are the ones who vote every riff 7-10 or vote every riff 9 or 10. That doesn't tell us anything about the riff and some riffs are easily leagues better than others

Page 1 of this thread FBX, which was the context I used the word in my reply. But if dickhole offend thee, I can call  'em "anonymous troll votes" instead.

Where exactly do these troll votes occur? Your calling someone a troll for voting a low rating with the assumption they didn't actually watch it when you really don't know if they did or not.

You know what, your right. And I don't care - It was a joke and not worth getting in a tizzy (I reserve my tizzies for societies greater ills). Relax, have a beer. Cheers  :cheers:

I was very impressed by this riff, 9/10.

I had never seen the movie before so I watched it Friday night.   I was amazed at how perfect a film it was...... 10/10.

I watched the riff Saturday and was very pleased to see that the boys can riff on a geat film and make it funny.
