Thoughts?

[gammer]

So do you think "they" honestly forgot to make the Halloween section?

I wonder if they did it on purpose because they may have wanted more people to see the movie before we start writing/talking about it?
Maybe our comments sometimes, persuade some people to not buy the rifftrax?

Just a thought...and maybe I'm way over thinking this and they really did forget to put up a Halloween section.

They must be too busy thinking of ways to haze the newcomers.


More lobster, anyone?

[Cibernético II]

nah, I think they haven't put up a Holloween category is because they haven't recorded it yet. why would they put up a discussion about a product not released yet? if you want to discuss the original sans riff you could just go to some other forum

Yeah! I'll take that big guy. And don't skimp on the butter.

Uhm...it is released now:

For their tardiness I reserve the right to post twice.  I loved it.  I think horror films work really well for riffing.  Even if they are well done, like Halloween was for the most part, they are just fundamentally absurd.  Also, long tension building shots give plenty of time for Mike and Kevin to do what they do best.  Though I need to have a word with Mr. Sharecrow....

where would it fit in the ranked rifftrax so far?

[Variety of Cells]

Let's seeeee, I'd put it anywhere from 6 to 8.  It's quite good.  However, my experience was interrupted by technical difficulties. 

I couldn't get share crow to work so instead I decided to use the most complicated method I could think of.  I played the rifftrax on a laptop which I hooked up to the a mixer, so I paused with a wireless mouse and used a different remote for volume.  I lost the remote for the dvd player so I hooked a portable dvd player straight into the tv, so I had a remote to pause the player and another for the tv volume.  So I had 4 remotes to work, and plus I unknowingly played the first quarter in full screen instead of wide.  I tried to tough it out and watch it in full, but I just couldn't take it.  The framing was horrible.  People's arms and legs were getting cut off left and right, it was gorier than the actual film.  And of course, after I went to the menu to fix it, the sync was minutes off so I had to re sync, which took a good 10 minuets of riffs being a little off before I got it.

But despite all that, I still loved it.  I'm sure I'll like it much more once I get it to work with sharecrow.

So we're posting our Halloween thoughts here? Okay...

I thought it was good.  Not great, but very funny in some places.  Let me just say, this is a hard film to riff.  There are long stretches where hardly anything happens; its just people walking.  Followed by more WALKING to the ominous but incredibly repetitive Halloween theme tune.  My favourite sections of the movie were actually when they weren't riffing the movie, such as the "playlet" they do about halfway through which made me almost choke to death with laughter on my Doritos.  There's some good stuff toward the end of the movie too, when the guys are baying for blood to be let, just for something to happen.  Now I'm really looking forward to the Matrix.

Any riffs you were expecting to hear but didn't? I'll definitely be doing more of my own riffing from now on, thanks to the contest. On my first pre-RiffTrax viewing, there was:

some character: SH*T!
victim #1: I've already got a place for that.
me: The backyard.

Helped a lot that they actually compared her to a dog later.

And I thought the warning sound for the train did a good approximation of the Halloween theme. And there were a few MST3K references that coulda been made, but probably weren't to distance this project from MST3K. Like, when victim #1 said, "Be natural! Be natural!" I was like, "Mr. B Natural? Where?!" And who else was just waiting for "Chief? MCCLOUD!" You know where I mean. Kevin even started listing random names.

[SmilinJackRoss]

Well, Kevin Murphy is officially my favorite riffer.  STV and this one are my favorites.  I can't wait for The Matrix.

"I.....think someone is leaning on the synthesizer."

He just kills me.

There are no conspiracies afoot.  Shockingly, we just had other work to do.  Uncle Rufus should create the section soon.

I guess I've watched too many X-Files and now I think into things "too much". I appologize for that.

[RandyMistie]

FREAKIN AWESOME!

Just great!  I think it might be right up in the top 3 for me.  Kevin and Mike were ON!  And there were soooo many opportunities for them to just freestyle it up that I was in tears laughing so hard.  Even my wife loved it, and she's not a big fan.

And, it seemed that Kevin was in full "Tom Servo" mode.  His excitable voice and the cracks he made sounded so much more like Servo than in STV.  It was really MST3K old school riffing.

I loved it.  Hire Kevin full-time!  Then when Bill guest stars it will be like a real homecoming.

this one's pretty good, especially the beginning.
