Bleep?

[ReiCow]

Why did they bleep a swear word in the rifftrax? Unlike, say, Revenge of the Sith, this is a rated R movie with swear words through the "F" word, so I don't understand the bleep. It was a little jarring.

Moo.

Its not a biggie.

I was more "jarred" when I heard Sigourney (unnaturally) say "fucker" near the end

In sith the joke was not hurt by the bleeps, here is was, the bleep was too long, making you think a little too long to fill in what he said, ruining the timing of the joke...

I never noticed the way she said that until the guys pointed it out.

Me neither. I guess that kind of exaggerated intensity (read: overacting) works when you've got your disbelief suspended, but not so much when you're in a more distanced, RiffTrax-watching mode.

Lots of that in this movie, I never really noticed just how much they showed every step of all the running/walking up and down the corridors until the rant about it.  I guess since the guys had to watch it many times in a row those things really stood out, I've tried not to watch it too many times just because of that, every 4 or 5 years lets you forget some of the details....

maybe they wanted to avoid a high bawdiness rating.

I noticed it, but that might be because I've had an acting class where I've received a note about my cursing sounding unnatural myself.  Might have slipped by me otherwise.

IRL, every other word is a curse word with me.

You're not wrong. I've seen the movie I don't know how many times, and I never noticed that it was pretty much 50% shoe-leather.

I actually came here to post this exact thread.
It would stand to reason that an R rated film will have a riff that follows suit in subject matter and language and quite frankly it was so out of place and startling that it took me a few seconds to realize what had happened. I thought I had done something wrong and my computer was yelling at me for being drunk last night.

Please please please dont do that again. I am an adult and can handle a few swear words (one could stand to reason that anyone buying rifftrax is an adult since it requires a credit card and what not)

We are the knights of standards and practices! We demand you stop saying the word of curse or you shall awaken the dragon Geldon!

...it took me a few seconds to realize what had happened. I thought I had done something wrong and my computer was yelling at me for being drunk last night.

I thought that too! In fact, I only just realised that it wasn't that! (um, I only just finished watching it, I haven't been wondering on it for months or anything...)
Hmm, I don't feel massively strongly about this, but I agree that if the movie has swearing, why should the trax be censored?

I know this topic is dead, but I just watched this Rifftrax.

Usually I'm in favor of the bleeps, but in a movie where the characters themsleves say "fuck", having a riffer say it should be acceptable. "Fuck you Ichibod Crane" would have been funnier. Expecially coming from Kevin.
