One of the hardest things to do with a popular series is to give it the conclusion it deserves.  Some of the greatest entertainment phenomenons of our time, be it The Sopranos, Lost or Hi Honey, I'm Home! have failed to give fans the closure that they, as uninvolved spectators watching at home for free, feel they are entitled to.  The Lord of The Rings series, on the other hand has mastered the art of delivering a satisfying conclusion.  And The Return of The King does it so well, in fact, that it decides to end seven or eight times.

The final chapter of one of the most beloved trilogies of all time finds our characters picking up where they left off.  Frodo and Sam continue onwards towards Mt. Doom, despite Frodo increasingly appearing to Sam as a walking roast turkey.  Aragorn faces down one of lifes toughest questions: whether to embrace his true destiny, or to combine three flavors of Combos into one bag and lay on the couch with his shirt off eating them. Gimli and Legolas have started an organic dog biscuit bakery in Vermont.  And Mushmouth is futilely trying to convince the gang to make him the Buck Buck breaker instead of Fat Albert.

All the while, the fearsome Eye of Sauron is observing their movements in a style that can best be described as "pretty funny when you really think about it." There's also drunken table dancing, Elven poetry and a spider proboscis that you would best be served to never think about if you're ever considering venturing into the outdoors again.

The journey through Cirith Ungol is never an easy one, so it's best to join up with Mike, Kevin and Bill, who have their very own Light of Earendil*, tin of pipeweed**, and satchel of Lembas Bread***

*Can of Raid

**Big League Chew

***Bag of combos with three different flavors of Combos combined in it

Oh noes! Got this while trying to download.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function dsm() in /home/cust10002/www/site001/sites/all/modules/rifftrax/rifftrax_files/rifftrax_files.module  on line 143


Other than that, it was the funniest riff that I've ever heard!

[Thrashalla]

...I just dloaded it with my test account and it went through fine.

[Compound]

Yeah, working for me as well. (shrug.) Darn internet gremlins.

[Action Batch]

I got that from MyFiles. But My Purchased Files downloaded fine.

[Compound]

And 4 hours later, I finally manage to get it burned. Huzzah!

Ugh. Every audio program I had failed at some point during the process.

[vampirehunter42]

Same here, the first time I tried. But tried again and got it fine.

[TheUnabeefer]

Audacity crashed on me six(6) times.  Maybe Rifftrax solved the whole anti-piracy thing.  Annoy the hell out of people trying to mess with the audio.

On a side note, that song is awesome.  I got whiffs of Oingo Boingo in it.  I like.

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Yup, this one seemed harder to do than Avatar for some reason, Audacity didn't crash but wouldn't let me use the move tool, had to do the initial sync by cutting the lead in and then adding silence.  And the auto-duck took over half an hour.

Burning a DVD now, but watched a bunch to check the files before burning, great stuff.

And how cool is the song, was going to add it over the credits but thought Audacity might not be able to handle any more data.

Edit: This riff must have an elven curse on it, been ages since I've had a bad burn, just made 2 coasters before getting a successful burn and verify.  Can't stay up till 5, so will have to watch it tomorrow....

[ShadowDog]

Just finished and I can sum this riff up with two words: fucking awesome!

[TheUnabeefer]

That does it... I'm gonna keep myself from sleep tonight so I can stay up late and watch it!!!

Paypal is having issues, so it looks like I won't be buying it tonight.

EDIT: Now the issues are on my end, not Paypal. Probably has something to do with how inaccurate all my information on it is (new address)

[ShadowDog]

Has Rifftrax really only been around for four years?  Holy crap.  On the other hand it feels like forever since TimmyBigHands.

[Compound]

Whew. Just finished. Rather drained by the 16 hours of the movie. One (non-Rifftrax) complaint:

The sounds levels. Throughout the film, it went like this:
whisper, whisper, whisper. LOUD! LOUD! LOUD! whisper, whisper, whisper.

I had to keep adjusting the source audio to keep my eardrums intact.
