TWENTY QUESTIONS IN WHICH TO GUESS THE NEXT RIFF! TODAY! 1/29

[Sharktopus]

Woo! And no!

Woo, since I have it on Blu-Ray. No, since that's not the right cut of the movie. Oh well.

Well, we compared versions, and the Unrated version is hardly very different. We may do a cut of the riff that will time correctly to the Bluray / Unrated versions. I'll keep ya posted.

What is the difference anyway? Does the unrated cut have that scene where you sort of but not really can't quite almost see Moon Bloodgood's boobs? Wow, that's a lot of oos.

Unfortunately no, they just remove the strategic shadow on CGArnie.   

PLEASE DO THE PG-13 VERSION PLEASE. K THNX BY

Terminator Salvation is the thrilling story of the journey of a once valuable franchise. When the intellectual property rights lapse after a disappointing third movie, they're snatched up at well below their estimated market value by a wacky mismatched duo of producers. The petulant star they bring on board demands to play a role that wasn't actually in the script, massive rewrites ensue, and the novice director is forced to fall back on the skills he honed directing Sugar Ray music videos. Will the franchise rise to the occasion, renewing our enthusiasm for its once beloved characters? Or will the resulting film be a cynical, calculated exercise in maximizing profitability with little regard for story or coherency?

Terminator Salvation firmly casts its lot with the latter. Christian Bale, apparently unaware that The Dark Knight had wrapped shooting, alternates between his raspiest "Harrison Ford in Firewall" whisper and barking like a mandrill/harbor seal hybrid. Fortunately, the movie turns out to not really be about him. It's actually about the guy from Avatar, the guy who played the new Chekov and a mute eight year old girl. Thrill as the resistance discovers the secret weapon that could save mankind: a specific radio frequency! Bonus points if you can identify which scene Christian Bale was taking so seriously that he unleashed the most humiliating caught-on-camera rant since Hall of Famer George Brett discussed soiling his pants. Google it.

As a result of having to endure repeated viewings of Terminator Salvation, Mike, Kevin and Bill are all done professionally with each other.

Released on 2/4.

Next game will be on 2/5!

Awesome! We deliberately didn't watch this because we were waiting for the riff!

Sadly, all of that is 100% true. Please come back to us, Mr Cameron.

Shh. You had me at "deliberately didn't watch this."

[Darth Geek]

Awesome! This'll be great! Love the poster, particularly Kevin's expression.

I'm hoping for a Super Mecha Death Christ reference. (Although that may involve more swearing than they are used to.)

[LucasM]

Looking forward to this (as usual), but really unfortunate timing: yesterday Amazon's "Gold Box" daily sales had the WS/reg DVD version on sale for $9.99.  Now it's back up to $14.99.    I thought briefly of buying it, but wasn't going to unless it would be riffed.  Oh well.

[Claude]

Yay, I've been hoping this would be riffed. I yelled at the screen plenty while watching it, and the 3 are tons funnier than I. The movie is already hilarious.

HOW DOES A 100-700ft TALL (depends on the scene) ROBOT THAT MAKES LOUD HISSING NOISES SNEAK UP ON YOU?!?!

"Timmmmmaaaaaallggh!"

[Rattrap007]

Goodie! Another riff I got the DVD/BRD for! I love it when I got what they are going to riff. It was also on the list I sent to Greg for LOC for movies you want riffed. Excellent!

[RVR II]

Excellent! Netflix is shipping out Terminator 4 today and will arrive on Monday!!

[Rattrap007]

sweet!

I hope they mock Bale's hissy fit.

[Troa11]

I hope they did the unrated cut cause that's the only disc of the bluray that Netflix sends.  And I've gotten really used to my hidef rifftrax.

[Pak-Man]

I'd also like to throw in my vote for a Blu-ray cut.

The original script didn't have John Connor in it?  What the hell were they thinking?  I'm not taking Bale's side in this but WTF man?  What's next, 24 without Jack Bauer?

Anyway, WOO HOO on this riff!

[Shamalama]

This should help with figuring out the timings of the Director's Cut.

It would be nice if I could download the director's cut version of the rifftrax even if there is just silence during the extra parts.

[ManUnderMask]

Actually no, it did have Connor in it, however Connor lived on the submarine and pretty much did nothing but stirring speeches. At the end of the film, when everything seemed lost, he surfaced and took the survivors into the submarine, and then got killed, which lead to them putting Connor's skin over Marcus's frame.
