Definitive Poll "Which Series Got 'Next'"

[Doctor Who?]

This poll is about series they have already done at least one entry of.  Highlander does not count.

[Kolben]

Ohhhhh,  perhaps too many sonic screwdrivers.

I just bought my first Rifftrax, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of FIre" and then bought the two X-Men ones. Really looking forward to more X-Men. I'm surprised there isn't one for the third film yet, given how badly it needs to be riffed!

Hey Welcome.  Be sure to check out the shorts and The Room and TSWHS.

Welcome aboard. Don't be afraid to try out some Mike solo riffs. I heartily recommend Crossroads, as well as Road House.

I think some of these series may have been essentially abandoned. I'm pretty sure they will finish LOTR, but I really don't see them doing X3. I can only hope that I'm wrong for the latter.

[Doctor Who?]

I think the chances of LOTR being done are nil.  I don't think they want to do another 3 hour movie,and I think the format of the site has changed and they are only doing shorts and huge blockbuster from the past two or three years.  i think they have pretty much given up on anything older then 3 years old and that made less then $300 at the box office.  My guess is sale for older non blockbuster films are were just so bad they were not making a profit.

Well, $300 would be a pretty amazingly poor showing for a movie.

Nah, they'll do LOTR.

I'm pretty sure they're saving LOTR ROTK for a holiday release and/or pre-Hobbit hype. Probably NOV/DEC the year they release "the Hobbit" teaser trailer.

They just did Titanic, possibly to go along with the "Avatar" hype, that was 3hrs 14mins and 12yrs old, made a billion though. "Jaws" was 30+ years old, and Casablanca was 60+. What about "Maniac" and the other DVDs, all old, and "the Room" and "D-Wars" made squat at the box office. I think that we have proven that the core fans will buy whatever they put out, but most blockbusters have a thick layer of cheese and deserve riffing anyway.

I think the better movies, meaning the ones you could watch a dozen times without the guys, actually make for better repeated viewings with them. I'll watch the riff for "Iron Man" over "the Room" any day, I think the jokes for both are pretty average.

I think the sooner after the DVD release that they do the riff, the weaker the riff, like "Iron Man," "300," "Avatar," "Terminator 4," and "New Moon." I think they should give each movie a few weeks writing time to gestate into hilarity, I know they probably have pre-release screeners to work with, but the end result seems rushed.

They've probably been stockpiling jokes for "Titanic" for a decade, which is why it's one of the best, the scene where they riff the pan over old Rose's pictures deserves an Emmy or something. I still only like the second half of that movie by itself though.

Before you start slamming me with, "'New Moon' is an awesome riff" replies, it pales in comparison to and a lot of the jokes are reused from the original, it's an average riff, and a 7/10 at best.

[NRRork]

Well, those Lord of the Rings movies just put me to sleep now, seem 'em too many times. Even with the Rifftrax, which are quite good, watching one is more effective than a glass of warm milk.... mixed with bourbon....

I suddenly miss my grandma.

Anyway, my vote is for First Contact. I'm skeptical that there are any new jokes to be made at the expense of the original crew... although they proved me wrong with they riffed the new movie. Maybe it's because the Shatner jokes just never get old.

I know Picard isn't the hammy slab of Candian bacon that Kirk is, but there's lots to make fun of. He's a bald limey playing a Frenchman. That could fuel Mike, Kevin, and Bill for a year.

They already made a joke about putting truck nuts on the Enterprise, though, didn't they? In the newest movie? Ah hell, they could do it again! That part when the Borg are installing that beacon... right there, perfect spot for a truck nuts joke. Or when that sphere escapes from the exploding cube "looks like one of the ship's truck nuts escaped."

It's all there, baby.

The only sequel Rifftrax I like are the Fantastic Four ones.  Too many recycled jokes when they do franchise movies.  They do them mostly to take you completeist-nerds money.

[anais.jude]

There is no option for the Harry Potter movies


oh, and you might as well put Twilight on there. I want to see the rest of the series riffed

[Darth Geek]

I think this poll was for series' whos later installments have already been released.

I was actually quite pleased in the most recent Harry Potter that they seem to have dropped the 'Satan worshipping' so-called jokes.  Wizards in historical fantasy literature (e.g. Merlin) simply have no relationship to such evil fictions.  If they were doing it to make fun of the fundamentalist right's accusations when the books were coming out, they missed the mark because the jokes never implied such a thing; they sounded like they were mirroring - rather than mocking - such ignorance.  [Wouldn't have been funny if they were mocking it either, I'm just saying....]

Actually, kinda' dropped my main point in amongst the explanation.  What I was trying to get at is that they tend to occasionally surprise by not rehashing the same stuff every time they do a sequel.  [Oh, and I agree with you: the FF & the Silver Surfer was funnier than the original... tho I still love the line from the original that said basically, "a woman turning invisible is no big deal, but seeing her in bra and panties the crowd gasps?"]

I disqualified the Harry Potter films because a new riff was just released, hence the title of the thread. You really should read at least the first post of a thread before you start posting all willy nilly

Darth was right about Twilight, I threw Saw 7 on there just because it's been announced, they wouldn't get that far into the series anytime soon anyway.

Four words: MORE SYLVESTER STALLONE MOVIES!

Seriously, 'Over the Top' is still one of my favorite Rifftraxs and I'd love to see Mike, Kevin and Bill take on more of Sly's films.
