Oops, sorry. You know how it is with the name "Vermithrax." It's either Vermatraxa or Vermithraxuel, and I never guess it right.

But that's the thing about Transformers- Despite the fact that it WAS a bad movie, and it DID have some cringe parts, I still liked it.

I used to be Lady Decepticon, but I'm kind of in a Dragonslayer mood and that's the name given to the female dragon in that movie. Yes, I can kind of act as ornery as she is as well.  ;)

As far as Bayformers, I was hoping for something just a little bit more, like an actually good movie being a G1 Transformers fan from way back. I mean just because something's based on a toy, video game, book, etc. etc. doesn't give anyone the right to muck it all up for the dedicated fans. This movie was truly a very painful, depressing experience for me. Only Mike and friends can hurt it the way it hurt me.

Note to self: Put Vermithrax Pejorative on my list of favorite posters.

Ah, finally.  Someone who feels the same way I do about that damn "movie."

My hatred for that movie runs very very deep. They basically wasted Peter Cullen's talent. I don't know about you, but when I see a movie with the name Transformers on it, I damn well am expecting to see Transformers.

Yeah, the "Dragon Queen" under her avatar probably threw you off.

Two for two, eh, Junkyard?    :-*

That's right. I'm a male dragon who dresses in drag.  :P

Oh and I'd like to add one more movie:

10.5. Oliver Stone's Alexander, the Director's Cut.

I swear to you there is a scene towards the end where Colin Farrel starts to resemble a late 80's Ozzie Osbourne.
Being a genocidal maniac is not one of my turn ons.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

I loved that movie.  I even wanted to put the movie logo on the back of a jacket...



But since the film turned out to be more of a cult film, I figured it was asking for a lot of grief at school.   Did have this poster on my wall.

I'm just amazed at how impressive the Dragon looks in that movie for it being created using practical FX. Just goes to show when you have true craftsmen working on something you don't need to use alot of CGI. Just look at the FX in John Carpenter's The Thing as well. Pretty impressive for the time period.

How about Darkman & get Bruce Campbell to guest riff?

Well I can't pick 10 because Michael Bay hasn't done quite 10 but... yeah a Michael Bay flick would be good.  Of course if you could talk over the extremely loud music.

Getting "The Chin" as a guest riffer - that would be awesome!  Question is, would he do a movie he was in?  Or for that matter one that Sam Rami directed?  They're pretty tight.

Are we talking the Liam Neeson one?  Or one of the sequels?  The one with the guy who played Imhotep in The Mummy was pretty strange.

Although didn't I read on here somewhere that someone wants to do Congo?

10 Films, in no particular order

Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves
Musketeer
Disney's Three Musketeers (Yes, i'd like to see either version, though the version with Tim Roth would probably be more potent for riffing)
Wing Commander
The Sum of All Fears
Identity
Deep Impact
Stargate
Episode III (C'mon, let's get it out of the way)
Under Siege

Finally, I am reserving the right to hold back on Dungeons & Dragons and Tron, as I'm working on Fan Riffs of both and really hope I beat Rifftrax to the punch. :D

Oh, how could I've forgotten to put Wing Commander on my list.  Talk about a disappointing theater-going experience..weeks of anticipation and then heartbreak.  I must have blocked it out.
I meditate diligently every morning. The subject is Life and Love. I quit after three seconds.

Oh, I'd also like to add 10.5 1/3 here with A Sound of Thunder.

This image alone should qualify it for immediate riffing.  ;)

Yes, for apparently any change to the past will cause Dinosars to survive the metiore fallout, and then evolve to be lizardy versions of already existing animals.

Man that was a turd.
