I just finished watching..........................

Fantastic Four - What a great Rifftrax. Just recently bought this movie for the Riff because I found it on sale. Really great throughout (although I think the sequel is a little better Rifftrax). The movie... I never thought anything could make me hate Invisible Woman more than the comics, but they succeeded. I also have to say that while Johnny Storm is kind of abnoxious, he is still the best part of this movie. He enjoys being a superhero, and wants to get out and do things with it instead of the other three emo idiots. The reason he comes off as douchy is because he (and all the other characters) are written so poorly. Had his character been written better, he would have been charming and much more fun. As it is, he's still fun, but mainly in that he is trying to act like how we would act if given incredible powers. I certainly didn't hate him like the riffers seem to.

"Oh, God. What has he been doing?!"

I'm with you all the way. I love both of these trax, the first one in particular.  I remember some criticized the toilet  jokes.  You have to admit, though, that machine in Reed's lab sure did look like a giant Porta-john!

I don't know how anyone can complain about the abundance of toilet humor when one of the main characters is made up to look like a giant foam turd.

I never thought of the Thing that way but now that you mention it......If they've done any film where the toilet humor is appropriate it's this one.  I've never been a big fan of toilet and fart jokes in movies and TV, but I have to reluctantly admit that I usually seem to laugh when the RIfftrax guys partake in them.  I guess I only like them when they're inserted into bad films through snarky commentary.  And I'm sure my love of Mike, Kevin, and Bill also have something to do with it.

X-Men  2nd viewing

Enjoyable. I really like this one, although it was a little funnier the first time around. A few lulls, but pretty strong most of the way. I've said it before but I'll say it again......they can't go wrong with films about people will silly superpowers. That is a genre that I hope they never give up riffing on. I notice this trax has a slightly more intimate feel than the others. This is due partially to the fact that it is a two person riff, as well as the lower voices. Maybe it's just me but Mike and Bill seem to be talking quieter on this riff than any of the others. Did anybody else notice that?

This was not only Bill's first RiffTrax, but the first time anyone co-riffed with Mike on a RiffTrax.  The quiet voices is just them acclimating to this newfound thing.

Actually, I believe this was their second co-riffing effort. The first co-riff to be released was Star Trek V and that doesn't have the low voice thing.  Maybe they recorded X-Men first?   No idea.  I just thought it was a little odd because I never noticed their voices that low on any other rifftrax.

::checks release dates::  Whoa, you're right.  Ha, had a mixed-up memory there.  Prob something to do with revisiting X-Men more than STV.  Then I my only guess is that it was Bill getting used to it seeing as how it was his first?  I dunno.

Had a RiffTrax-a-palooza at my house this weekend.  Twilight went in at 7pm and New Moon at 10-ish, with some shorts in between.  About a dozen people showed up, more than half of whom had never seen a RT before.  I spent most of the night on grill duty (many, many kabobs) but a good time was had by all, much food and booze was consumed, and many laughs were had.

Dammit I'd love to have one of those (Rifftrax party, though kabobs are good too), or go to one. I hardly know anybody around here who knows what it is, and they don't live close.

Twilight

One of the best. But I think I've seen it too much because I'm starting to memorize it. I'll just have to go buy New Moon instead.

FINALLY got around to Titanic. I was never specifically avoiding it, but for some reason this one and Matrix Revolutions are the 2 I'd never quite got around to.

Celine Dion was right about one thing. It does go on and on...

That it does

And I finally got around to Fast and Furious.  I think I put it off for so long because I was saw this in the theater (we got there too late for our first choice) and really really didn't want to see it again.  Finally took a deep breath and popped this one in. The boys made it worth it.  Many LOL moments.  They have a good time with Vin Dumbell.  These movies really make no sense to me.  It's like they're living in some parallel world where playboy models show up at midnight to rub their asses on cars and watch guys drag race through big cities like Tokyo and Los Angeles that always seem strangely deserted during their odd shenanigans.   A solid trax but I hope they don't do any more of these films.

Inspired by receiving my copy of the newly released complete score from the movie (which is awesome in its own right), revisited Independence Day. What a great rifftrax. I really am a sucker for the riffs where the guys are really giggly throughout (for some reason, hearing them crack each other up makes me laugh more myself), and they're definitely that in this one. Especially love Kevin's reactions - first to Mike's "It looks like you're uploading a virus. Would you like some help with that?" and then his recoiling-in-horror moment to Bill's "And it was Rachel Dratch in a thong" at the end.

EDIT: Oh yeah - and according to wikipedia, there's an unconfirmed rumour that Will Smith's signed on for Independence Day 2 and Independence Day 3, to be filmed at the same time in the next year or two. One can only hope...

Yeah, I love it when they make each other laugh. It just up the feeling of watchhing the movie with your friends.

I really wish they would release some of their outtakes! I love it when Hor-Riff-ic and Cinester do outtakes at the end.

Running through the Iron Man riff before I go see Iron Man 2 tomorrow - Interesting that there's a riff mentioning Mickey Rourke ("Ah - That was a cloth soaked with Mickey Rourke's sweat") before Mickey Rourke was announced to be in the sequel. <Flo>They're psychic!</Flo>
