I wonder when...

the guys are going to finish up the Harry Potters?   I mean, you could tell me that they've said what they've needed to in the other 6, but I loved the way they ripped the new Twilight for splitting it into 2 parts, so why not the Deathly Hallows?  I would just love it if they completed the series like they've done with Star Wars, LOTR, Spiderman, the Matrix, etc.  Just do them & riff them off like a band-aid, if only to call it finished once & for all.  The Harry Potters are some of my favorite riffs & I'm sure they're huge sellers! 
And while I'm here on the subject, the Indiana Jones ones are my favorites, too, and if they did the other two, I know they'd be hits as well!

I would guess it is on the back burner but will be coming at some point.  At least I hope so.

I wonder when we are gonna get Logan's Run! Promised so long ago! It's gonna make such a great riff!

Didn't they back out of that one a while ago?

Yeah, I heard something about that a while ago. I guess they decided they didn't have enough material from it. Seems wierd though. I haven't watched it in a while, but it seems like it would have plenty of riff fodder.

I just did a search of the forum and couldn't find anything... Seems like it would be much easier to riff than, say, Buffallo Rider...
FINE

It was just that we knew that hardly anybody would buy an MP3 of Logan's Run, so it didn't make any sense to do. Sorry!

Has there ever been any discussion about using Kickstarter to pre-sell a Rifftrax for something that might not be seen as a big seller?  I mean for something that has been long talked about and requested like Dune, Street Fighter, Super Mario Brothers, or Billy Jack.  A title that probably would not sell a great many copies.  I know I would be willing to donate many times the regular price of a Rifftrax to see a few of these titles get riffed by the guys.  Others might too.

It would be a way to guarantee a return for Rifftrax (with no risk to them) and also a fun way to get the hardcore fans involved in the process (by means of fundraising for it and perhaps getting incentives for different donation levels).

Wasn't it a prize offered by the guys though? Didn't someone 'win' getting it riffed?

Wasn't it just the audience suggestion thing they do at Comic-Con; the same thing they did for D-War?

It's not as if they're legally required to do it. They obviously thought about it and decided it wasn't worth their time.

Let's just try to move on...together...as a group.

I didn't say they were legally required to do it, I said it was a prize. They had people pitch them ideas for riffing and selected a winner, whose choice would be riffed.

Right. And they changed their mind. What does that have to do with the person who 'won'?
