THE GAME HAS BEGUN

[MontyServo]

This whole thread is giving me a headache.

I do like the idea of "Something Awful This Way Comes" referring to a Harry Potter film.  The Potter films were mostly Thankgiving releases, so a Potter Rifftrax just in time for Thanksgiving might be what they are thinking of.

Other than that, I have no clue.

How does it have to do with Harry Potter? I googled the phrase "something awful this way comes" and only got that as the title of someone's review of Azkaban.

Something Wicked This Way Comes was a tag line for Prisoner Of Azkaban.  Something Awful This Way Comes may be the tagline for the Rifftrax of that film.

watch it...

Google "Something wicked this way comes..."

Wasn't that a Ray Bradbury short story?

Found on the Rifftrax forum over there .... it's a quote from one of the last riddles but still...

Is anyone following the next release puzzle they're doing right now? I bet SA could solve it more easily than the limited community on those forums.


Let's show those smug pricks how we do it Rifftrax style!

in case you think I am making it up

*NOTE   This is a general 'they insulted us as a forum so let's make sure we solve this well' NOT a 'I found the next clue!' post

Not to distract from this thread, but that was me, and I wasn't trying to insult you guys- I meant 'limited' in the sense that there are probably 100x as many people there as here and an absurd number of them are expert internet detectives. If it helps, I've also convinced four or five people to start listening to rifftrax singlehandedly on that forum.

And Lowtax posted a BYOB (a goofy subforum) thread about the Mike Nelson interview where he mentioned it being delayed because his (Lowtax's) computer broke. Apparently, it was delayed more than he thought.

Or maybe Da Penguin is pointing us to an interview via Shakespeare.

I  would be surprised if it wasn't Harry Potter. First of all we have the Something awful line, clearly an allusion to the movie, and we have the Blood Institution, possibly meaning Hogwarts.

And I haven't even seen any of the bloody movies!!!

Wow this interview just answered a question I have been wanting to know for a looooooong time!! Mike said he is definately considering doing a rifftrax live! A college tour!

It's probably the "Which Logo is Better?" thing that just popped up on the front page.

That would be SWEEEET!

[MontyServo]

I still have a headache (from other things, not just reading this thread).  So I'm just gonna guess that it is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, for reasons stated above.

Oh mighty Penguin!  Is it Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban??

(I am pretty sure that someone else already guessed this though.)

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Well let's just make it official, unless we've veered off the tracks into a mountain and it turns out to be just another Swayze movie.

[Pak-Man]

Da penguin never says no and says yes WAY after the fact...

Truce. Sorry for the smug prick line. I tend to think everyone is a smug prick, but that's just me. I may be the smugless prick I know.
And if more folks are listening, then all the better.


and a TON of thanks for that news on the interview...will keep many hairs in many heads I am sure.
