I ended up buying a copy off on Amazon for fifty cents. Less than four dollars shipped, cheaper than a rental. Of course, now I've got yet another DVD in my collection that I'll never watch again but I've done dumber things for Rifftrax. I'm looking forward to watching the riffed version tomorrow.
I may have to do the same thing, and have done the same in the past. I don't mind spending a few extra bucks on a used DVD if the RiffTrax for it is good, since I tend to watch them with the riffing more than once. And the sample is so good, it feels like a must-see. But NetFlix has the movie as a "long wait" and God only knows when they'll have it available.
Well I've watched it and the riff is definitely worth the purchase. Bill and MJ do a great job. I remember now why I only watched this movie once, way back when it came out in the theaters.
Oh, cmon, you don't just LOVE the Mumbling of words over and over again, never understanding what they are saying?
I turned on the Closed Captions on one X-Files Show once and it went "Skully, .... .. . .... ... .... aliens and you know that .... .. . . .. .. will stop at nothing to hide it." I'm serious too...
