Thoughts?

[Cap'n UKRiffer]

Just got through watching Halloween and thought it was hilarious... just the bit near the start where we got a shot over Myers shoulder as Laurie walked away and Mike was doing a Darth Vader voice aplogising for getting in the wrong film and calling for George Lucas... Classic

I don't know what it is-- I really enjoy hearing the other guys' voices, but my favorites so far are the ones in which Mike works alone.  I know I'm in the minority here, but then again, I wasn't not-voted Prom Queen for nothin'.

I think the problem with Kevin and Bill, and I find this a very slight problem, is that they tend to be very cynical towards the movie they are riffing.  I don't think they should fawn over the movies, but they should lighten up a bit on them.  It is, after all, just a movie.  They should really just relax.

Maybe it's so they appear different to what Mikes doing, to balance things out... you know, good cop-bad cop

[LadyKenobi]

It just feels more forced when Mike is with Kevin or Bill, especially in the beginning, like they're too scripted or something.

I cannot abide horror movies.  Halloween was the first one I ever saw-- I watched it yesterday and had nightmares all last night   Not even the Rifftrax could keep me safe!

[ScottotD]

how did you know you didn't like them if you've never seen one before?

[LadyKenobi]

The same way I know I don't have to staple my hand to the wall to find out if I'll enjoy it?  I'm really really sensitive to gore, even the suggestion of gore.  There are certain "average" action movies that I can't handle because they're just too violent-- even Roadhouse and some episodes of MST are bothersome to me.  I also have an overactive imagination; bad combo.  I just don't want to scare myself or see the deepest, darkest sides of human nature for my entertainment.

Given my reaction to Halloween, even with the commentary, it seems I've been making the right choices for myself.  Your mileage may vary, of course.  Other people are more than welcome to like and/or watch horror movies.  I prefer comedy and fantasy because it reminds me of the good in life.

Oi! 
Don't knock it till you tried it 

[Joe Don Faker]

If you try the stapler to the hand, and enjoy it, then you can naturally proceed to Clive Barker films...

I'm probably going to be in the same boat, LadyKenobi.

LadyK, my heart is going out to you, right now.  I'm sorry that you were scared by this movie, or any movie.  Please remember that The Universe is wise and compassionate (is that spelled right?  I'm still on cold medication). 

[LadyKenobi]

Aw, thanks, Randy.  That's very sweet of you.  I'm going to download Point Break tonight, and that'll probably cheer me right up.  It's a different kind of horror.

Oh, you'll love it!  It's a big dumb movie with some violence, but mostly a ton of stupidity.

It's hard for me to be afraid of horror films because I believe in eternal life and the wise and compassionate Universe all of that.  It actually frustrates me because I WANT to love horror movies but I just have a hard time being scared.  That's why I say, if you understand that, you won't be frightened by anything.

All's I'm saying... there IS someone or something always looking out for you.

[PlayMSTie]

That was a really nice thing to say, Randy.  And I believe in all those things too. It's just sometimes a little harder to remember that I believe in them when I'm watching mutilated bodies pile up on the screen -- but since I hate to miss a Rifftrax, I'll at least try!

LOL!  That's why I love rifftrax!  It makes fun of stuff that other people think is scary/serious etc.  Many native American traditions say that if you can laugh in the face of fear then you have conquered it.  Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy help us do that.

Happy SAMHAIN, everyone!
