ARGH!!!  I can't keep doing this, people!  If anybody else has any vampire iRiffs, any at all, just send them all to me, as, unfortunately, I will watch them.

...Naturally I will watch this one.  Keanu's vissage there compells me...

I guess this fits in this thread.   I wonder if the makers of this film titled it just to confuse grandparents shopping at best buy during the holidays.

REALLY?!

My reviews of Raven and Ice On Mars can be found in the Iriffs forum, but I thought both were badass and definitely worth the money.

I understand where you're coming from about having difficulty reviewing things. Mostly myself I just hate sounding haughty. If I'm reviewing something I don't do myself, I have no problem; but reviewing an iRiff, it just feels like I'm being like, 'well I'M perfect, so you should listen to me! nyah!' and i hate that.

I don't think people will get that from you unless you actually feel that way.  People can tell when you think you're better than them, especially if you do a lot of reviews.  If you're honest and real in your review and you don't think you're better than anyone else, most sane people will get where you're coming from.  So I'd like to encourage you to start reviewing Iriffs you watch because you actually know what they went through to make it happen and your feedback could really help someone.  If nothing else it's very motiving to get feedback.  So you should do it, bro.

I do leave positive feedback. Negative feedback on iRiffs i find REALLY difficult, tho. basically any negative boils down to: 'it wasn't funny,' which isn't extremely helpful, I don't think (I did do one on the Harass Bastards' Lost City chapter since I was determined to leave feedback for every single chapter that wasn't mine, and they graciously said thanks, but I don't think it was very helpful. I see the positive feedback, however, as a way to excite people about an iRiff--definitely the QuipTracks' guys' comments helped our sales because they were INCREDIBLY kind in their reviews).

It is nice to have a certain level of honesty, though. While overwhelmingly negative feedback can be a bit of a downer, I'd prefer some constructive criticism instead of people hiding behind fake smiles and handshakes.

Whoa, I totally forgot until today that my company already did kind of a riff of Twilight in one of our side projects.  We mock books instead of movies, but the concept's the same.  Check it out if you want to.  We mention Twilight about halfway through:

I have finally seen 3 of the Twilight Riffs ("the guys", Ice on Mars, and Raven's)

As a non-twilighter and a longtime MST-riff fan I give my full seal of approval to Ice on Mars and Raven, both did a great job and they each felt different enough to warrant purchases along with "the guys".

I will note that the guys had more laughs overall, but the energy ,the chemistry, and the fun of the Ice riff and Raven riff made for a fun time with this movie!!

PS: I have yet to notice these audio "issues" some mentioned on the early Ice recording (they went back and fixed any problems that may have been there, I purchased mine on 4/17/09 so maybe they had fixed it by then).

Regardless, for the money both Ice's and Raven's riffs are well worth it and I will be enjoying them again very soon.

Keep up the good works and thanks for the laughs

Thanks, any favorite bits?

Thanks for the kind words. It was pretty nerve-wracking finding out that "the guys" were doing a track we'd done. Fear and teeth gnashing abounded, because, you know, how can you even hope to compare with that? But thankfully everyone has seemed to enjoy the energy of both Raven's and our riffs. My goal is to be 2/3 as funny at half the price, and therefore a bargain! Yay economics! iRiffs: Karl Marx approved.

Some of my favorite lines are as follows:
From Raven -
Go fighting cutlery!!
You almost didn't make the sequels ,there is good money in these s**t movies
Oh great this whole thing is leading up to the prom, what kind of freakin vampire movie is this!?
Someone mentioned premarital sex to the author and she fainted
I like to stay up all night long, if ya know what i mean .........Warcraft
(Possible spoiler alert) Seriously he's a wolf, because vampires hate werewolves ,all of a sudden in the last 10 years.



Some of my favorite Ice riffs:
So their hair looks like this because they can't see themselves in mirrors .........right?
Don't worry you'll still be a virgin, techinically ............"now call me cedric"  (haha go team Cedric!!)
I remember when vampires were scary
Is she stuck in a Final Fantasy 7 cut-scene
no no lead them to your home and don't warn your dad of the danger, that makes even more sense
I wonder how they explained away that HUMAN bite mark on her wrist!



Sorry if I am posting too much, I lost my accounting job and have mucho free time on my hands for now

Hmmmmm....Ice didn't get as high a review as Raven did (and he didn't sell his version as much) from another poster here, but, providing I still have a job through next week, you've convinced me to buy this version.  Thank you, NYFalcon!

I'll admit, I suck at self-promotion, but I guess I was hoping the three YouTube samples would work to sell it--I believe in the product selling itself. Also, being the featured iRiff for a while was, I assume, helpful. I still have yet to watch the official RT version, but from everything I've heard it sounds like people are, in general, enjoying all three of our riffs for very different reasons.

[ShadowDog]

Absolutely!  All three riffs are great!  You already (presumably) own the stupid DVD, and all three riffs are very funny, so who wouldn't want to own all three?

[ShadowDog]

Hey, who was talking about combining the best jokes from all three riffs?  I can't find it now, and I don't want to miss checking this out if anyone ever finishes it.  It's an awesome idea.
