Really?!

Yes, albeit mainly in the chipmunk cheeks department. Still, at the risk of sounding creepy, my sister is pretty cute.

I really like this Rifftrax.  I hadn't seen the movie before viewing it with the trax.  I gave it an 8 in your poll.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend you pick it up!

Ummm... His sister was just dragged to Hell by a confused Lamia.

The police hauled the PC Guy in for questioning.

Despite this being one of the worst movies I've ever seen, this was one of my favorite riffs ever.  They actually made this movie watchable, which is remarkable all by itself.  And I laughed out loud more often than any recent riffs except for Titanic and Twilight.

You made a horrible mistake in mentioning your sister being cute...   there are a lot of hounds and scoundrels on this forum.     I'm sure she's too old for me though....

Given my disappointment with the Paranormal Activity, I thought it was probably time I gave this one a try.

It was actually quite funny.  Yeah, lower energy levels and not as drop-dead funny as some of the others, but at least they weren't complaining the whole time, like Paranormal.  They seemed to have at least a *little* fun with the movie.

And to continue along a thought I had in the Paranormal thread: if you really hate horror movies (Thrifty, CJones, I'm looking at you) then how can you even remotely pretend to be objective about the quality of a film IN that genre?  Make fun, tell jokes, great.  I LOVE that about Rifftrax.  But don't.  Continuously.  Complain.

CJones, I don't even have the time/energy to make a full argument in favor of horror as a genre.  But I will say this: whether you like it or not, and despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, women are societally viewed as the "weaker" sex.  Culturally, we will always be more fearful for the safety of a woman than a man when placed in the same life-threatening situation.  Therefore the majority of horror films endanger more women than men.  Because it evokes more tension from the audience.  Additionally, these are usually young women, because we fear even MORE for a child than an adult.  So the younger you make the female being stalked/tortured/haunted, the better.  Up to a point, obviously, or then it becomes about frightening a child as opposed to frightening a young woman.  And there is far less tolerance for frightening children than there is for frightening a young woman.  That's all very NOW of you to hate when women are hurt, but the fear of pain is one of the primary motivators of a horror film and if you want to effectively maximize that fear, you need to go with whoever gets the most tension from the audience: a young woman.

I would also add that you're completely ignoring the fact that the majority of survivors in horror movies are women.  If you have a group of 10 teenagers in the woods and a werewolf/ghost/zombie/serial killer attacks them, there's a 95% chance that the single survivor of that group will be female.  (Oh, and also white.  Horror movies are worse than Archie Bunker.)

I get what you're saying, but one person's "complaining" is another person's "joking."  To me they were joking, not complaining.  But of course YMMV.

I thought the paranormal activity riff was friggin' hilarious. I'm not as bugged by complaining as some... as long as the complainer is funny while he does it. Since Mike & co. are always funny to me, I guess I'm safe.

[RoninFox]

The complaining can drag for me if its too monotonous, but there's only a few times within riffs where its bothered me, and the rest of the riff has always made up for it for me.

[ShadowDog]

Yeah, for me too.  Lemme think, it was one of the Star Wars movies was the only time it got tedious for me.  Maybe the first one.

I just finished watching that one yesterday. Even that riff with the complaints is very funny.

Have you tried Cloverfeild, amost as whiney.  Not liking a movie is not a joke imo
