20 Questions on 11/13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scrivener]

Aaaaah, that's going to be a nice Thursday.  Thank you, Rifftrax.

[ManUnderMask]

At least it's not G.I. Joe.

[skenderberg]

Well, even knowing the new rules, I must get this one out of the way first.

Is it the 2009 release of Star Trek?

Is it star trek?

Fastest game ever? Maybe. Maybe not.



Like the odometer on your 1984 Plymouth Reliant rolling back over to zero, the Star Trek series gets a reset! The previous thirty-eight films had barely begun to scratch the surface of these fascinating characters, and so Star Trek is back to answer all your burning questions: What's Scotty's favorite brand of bacon? Why does no one seize the moment and slap the hell out of Chekov? Why does Uhura jam that huge piece of machined steel into her ear? Was Spock's mom younger than him, and which uncle taught him that nerve pinchy thing?

A tour de force of shameless retconning, Star Trek nevertheless introduces a bold new sci-fi innovation: time travel! And black holes! And characters meeting themselves! And ice planets! And evil nemeses who vow revenge! And ship flybys! These are by themselves very compelling reasons to watch, but Star Trek gives you an even more compelling one—to learn Uhura's first name. Sure, you never knew she didn't have a first name, it was never an issue for you, and you haven't even given it one millisecond's thought, but at last you get to find out! (It's Nyota, by the way.)

Mike, Kevin and Bill self-consciously tug down their red Federation uniform tops and go boldly into Star Trek!

Released on 11/19!

Three minutes late and I miss the whole thing?

Oh well.  Good choice though.

You Cheated on your Own Rules though!!

GI Joe dodges another bullet.  Must be their awesome robot suits.

Also hopefully the guys will be breaking out their Shatner impressions for this Star Trek.

I saw it on the plane ride back from NY, and was preaching its spectacular riffability to Mike and everyone else in the office. Hopefully they'll get to it sooner rather than later.

Wooo!!!  I enjoyed this movie, and now I can enjoy it even MORE!!!

Compound, Scrivener - the names are so close in spelling, it's easy to confuse them

[tannerwaterbury]

Props to you Compound BTW. Now we both get to score with some Trek awesomeness!

Okay, no problem.

And Compound took the risk.  If the riff had been G.I. Joe, or anything else, he would have been out of luck.  I salute his courage.

Oh, and the one little problem about this riff:  my birthday's at the end of November, and I'm awfully likely to get this movie as a present.  Meaning, if I don't want to spend my money needlessly on a rental, I'll have to hold off watching this riff for almost two whole weeks.  Can I make it?  Can I make it!?

Thanks for the birthday gift, Rifftrax!
