We want to riff Twilight live - but we need your help!

[Edward J Grug III]

I think MrTorso has been having his own Rifftrax live shows...

[Pak-Man]

Super Mario Bros actually MIGHT have been a pretty interesting sci-fi fantasy type movie if they hadn't tried to shoehorn the video game into it.

Okay, so which thread is it....oh, never mind!!

Over The Top (though that might have less drawing power?)

The three-riffer version killed at the second RiffTrax live show.

?

I second that - ?

I don't remember the specifics, but there were a couple Rifftrax Live shows put on before there was a nationwide simulcast.  They were just shows for one theater.  I remember seeing banner ads for Over the Top and Plan 9 live shows.

The Sketchfest shows? I'm pretty sure those were for Daredevil and Plan 9.

And I can't find the list of shows at the Stone Brewing place, but I thought most of the non-ComicCon time shows there were pre-recorded.

They were part of Sketchfest and they did two in 2007. Daredevil in January 07 and then they did a return engagement in May 2007 and did Over The Top at Cobb's Comedy Club in San Francisco. Plan 9 was later on in 2008 at the Castro.

The Kickstarter has passed 200k.

It really means nothing to me that Rifftrax might riff Twilight live.  I'm not going to the show anyway so they can do whatever they want with the money.  I don't really care.

Well then what the hell did you even say anything for?

I just want to jump in and add that, since I don't watch Game of Thrones, I don't care what they do with any of the characters or plots.

Also STOP THAT TRAIN!

Even though it is actually a really good movie, I'd love to see a riff of The Shawshank Redemption.

STARSHIP TROOPERS, YOU GUYS!

[BiteMe316]

STARSHIP TROOPERS, YOU GUYS!

Awesome!  Perfect Plan B choice (I voted for "Super Mario Bros. but I like Starship Troopers)  Now if I can only get the necessary funds to be able to attend the show.

I am... wary. The guys have stated before that they don't like riffing comedies because it tends to boil down to, "your joke isn't funny," which isn't very funny. I'm worried that this may come down to "your cleverness isn't that clever," and also not be that funny.

My wife and I are one of the $2,000 backers, so it will still be AMAZING to meet the guys, etc., but I hope they don't think that the movie takes itself more seriously than it actually does.

If they manage to get NPH, though, it will be legen

The movie most definitely doesn't take itself seriously, but I would never ever in my life go so far as to call it a "comedy"... Tongue-in-cheek camp, absolutely.  I'm fairly certain they've riffed some tongue-in-cheek camp before (in either Rifftrax, MST3k or both) so I don't see it as any problem.
