I was watching some Beast of Yucca Flats last night and this short came on before it. I instantly thought of Ichirou.

I find it sad how utterly inferior rifftrax is even though I watch them.

you ever watch the cinematic titanic stuff?

it's pretty good

I download all the Rifftrax shorts, they're funny.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:00:13 AM »

I think Rifftrax is hit-or-miss, not that MST3K was always en fuego, but the quality was oh so much better.

Rifftrax shorts are good and some of the movies are really great. They just make so many that they get stretched really thin a lot.

Here's a good source for what's good and what isn't:

I saw cinematic titanic live a few weeks ago. Pretty good stuff. Lots of the MST3K guys. Though now they all read their riffs off iPads.

Rifftrax is too full of modern references and jokes and it simply isn't as solid (Justin Beiber jokes). It feels like they crack jokes to fill time rather than because the joke was actually funny. Its decent for what it is but its leagues short of mst3k.

Ripping on undeniably god awful films and older films is a lot more fun than ripping on the mix of films they do now.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #13 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:05:36 AM »

There have been two Rifftrax live events and both were really good [one was Plan 9 from Outerspace and the other was Christmas shorts]. There's also another coming up in August where they're going to riff on Reefer Madness.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:06:58 AM »

I think part of the fun of mocking older films is the naivety of filmmakers that the MST3K crew was able to prey on; there is no way someone back then could realize what they were filming could be interpreted as a sexual innuendo or something equally crude.

Cheebs · « **Reply #15 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:09:32 AM »

Rifftrax focusing on modern blockbusters and stuff kinda ruins it for me, the cinematic titanic guys lead by Joel still focus on the low budget no name 50's-60's stuff as far as I can tell.

Doesn't hurt that the cinematic guys have the more talented crop of the MST3k crew (Joel, Trace Beaulieu, TV's Frank).

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #16 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:10:30 AM »

I like Cinematic Titanic, but it's not as funny as Rifftrax IMO. Mike was the best writer. I like that they riff on old, bad movies though, which I was Rifftrax did more of. So far, Planet of Dinosaurs has been my favorite Rifftrax.

Plus I think older films were simply far worse. Even in technical areas. A shitty modern movie is often shitty but is often technically competent. Stuff like Coleman Francis is just in a league of its own (Although we do get stuff like The Room). But I agree with your point. When they mock older films its sort of like a re-interpretation of the movie which is more satisfying to me.

I will admit I generally enjoy their takes on the modern harry potter films. I always find myself enjoying those.

Agreed 100%. I love when they do that rather than just make fun of random individual elements scene by scene

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:14:47 AM »

Now that they're not on TV, it's either release one movie every year or so [Cinematic Titanic] or release a bunch of new movies [Rifftrax]. Which is why they all need to get back together and restart MST3K.

Yeah with the proliferation of cable channels it sort of boggles my mind that somebody won't do this. Even Adult Swim or somebody.

Maybe we are just a bunch of niche nerds but it seems like this is such an obvious and awesome idea.

I thought that but was pretty surprised when I saw Cinematic Titanic live a few weeks ago they were able to completely sell out a pretty large auditorium.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2010, 10:21:09 AM »

Actually, MST4K on AMC would be great. And they have to fill so much of their schedule with crappy movies, might as well let us make fun of them? Put it on Friday nights and we have a winner.

Thing is I doubt Joel and Mike would be doing live/straight to DVD stuff like they are right now if they were getting cable tv offers.

I went to school with a girl from Puerto Rico, she wasn't hot or anything though. Or, at least, I didn't think so then [grade school].

Two out of three people agree, Puerto Ricans are unanimously not attractive.

Do we vote attractive or not?

The hot girl I know from there is obsessed with Star Wars so it might knock her down a peg or two.

If I don't shave I grow a really ratty-looking light brown beard that looks fucking awful and embarrassing. I always wanted to grow a Commander Riker, but can't.

You can transplant some thigh hairs to your face but that's gonna take some time and money.

In the meantime, why not get a hairnet and some big earrings so you look more like a PR cholo?
