What did the RIffers think?

I guess the biggest question on my mind right now is: what did Mike, Kevin and Bill think of this experience?
Do they have any feedback at all?
Was it enjoyable to not have to write anything?
Did they have to bite their tongues at any point/were they just about to 'burst' out their own riffs that were painfully obvious that the fans missed?

But more importantly is who we are and what were doing here? and why do I have a picture of a giant burger on the wall?

I wish they posted in here more often.  I know that they laughed at my "poop" joke, but I want more approval from them!   :D

They all post in the rifftrax blog often enough, but I wonder why they don't just come here and interact with us, at least occationally.

Yes. These are the questions that must be answered! Especially the last one!  :D

I imagine it must have been a little weird, which they would never admit. Since when they record their own riffs, they've already riffed the movie as much as possible and probably don't come up with anything additional. Reading this, they must have had some of their own ideas between riffs. And they were legally not allowed to say anything. In fact... this may be the first time any of them has ever read anything they didn't write, aside from a couple of KTMA commercials. Except maybe Bill. He might be an acting guy or something. I don't know.

I loved how they left it up to us to fail or prevail in the riff department.  No assistance from them.  It kind of puts in perspective the couple of bucks you pay them for the straw they weave into gold bi-monthly.

Yes. Trying the riffing thing for the first time with B&R gave me an  all-new appreciation of what they accomplish on a regular basis and just how incredibly talented these guys are. Not that I wasn't already aware of this. Just more so now. The pros always make it look easy. Since trying my hand at the riffing thing I've gone back and watched a couple of old MSTS that I was always kind of lukewarm on. They seem a lot more impressive to me now.

I never submitted my script...but I should have.
But from what I have learned from writing and watching is this: It certainly makes the riffing a whole lot better when several people provide material for riffing as apposed to just a couple people doing the writing.
I just found that I had good material for certain scenes but had no clue for others, and I think thats where its nice to have multiple inputs.
