: Worthwile Rifftrax
: Flawless P September 20, 2010, 01:42:37 PM
I am in the middle of watching the Twilight Rifftrax and it has rekindled my love of MST3K.

I am currently downloading The Room rifftrax but I haven't seen The Room on it's own yet, should I watch it alone first?

So any Rifftrax that you guys around these parts find particulary good?

Bonus Question: What was your favorite MST3K episode? Mine was "Warrior of the Lost World"

The Master... will be... PLEASED. He wanted you... to see... my movie, but I, I am giving it to you!

(I have to recommend 'Swing Parade'. It has the Three Stooges in it and it's a romantic movie. With Swing and Parades. And mules going blind.)

Best MST3k has to be Space Mutiny.

Worst MST3k:  Los Manos the Hands of Fate.  Nothing happens in that movie, so there's nothing to make fun of.

But it would make a hell of a CoC scenario.

Last year on Christmas Eve a bunch of us got together and watched Santa Claus vs. The Devil it wasn't too bad. I haven't seen him conquer the martians yet though.

I like the crappy mexican santa claus movie more then santa conquers the martians.

Space Mutiny is right there at the top for me with Manos, Laserblast and Pumaman.

Also, I love the Coleman Francis Trilogy (skydivers, red zone cuba and the beast of yuca flats)

Thanks looks like I have some saving up to do. Even at just 2 bucks a piece and the fact that I own most of those movies I will be treating myself here and there rather than going on a binge.

Space Mutiny is my all time favorite

then Prince of Space

then Massacre at Party Beach, or some such

I actually wasn't very impressed with New Moon...

That said, I do think it's important to watch The Room without the Rifftrax first, but it would be somewhat tough to do by yourself...

What about with 3 likeminded individuals with booze and a desire to watch crappy movies?

I wouldn't have written a setting about it if I didn't like it.  Best, however?  No, there can be only one.

Rezzing this because of 2 kinda WTF rifftraxes I watched recently.

The first is an iRiff, only 91 cents and 28 minutes long, already synced. It is so stupid on the face of it that it doesn't even really need riffing, but the riffing is excellent - http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/team-swizzlebeef/ts-captain-midnight-mission-mexico (Also, drink your damn Ovaltine, or Captain Midnight will hunt you down!)

And then theres this...thing, Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (http://www.rifftrax.com/ondemand/santa-and-ice-cream-bunny), costs more at $10, but its kinda worth it as its a full length movie (really 2 movies, but I wouldn't want to spoil the 'OH DEAR GOD WTF IS HAPPENING!?' portion of it) and because nothing in that damn movie makes sense in any way.

Just watched "The Human Centipede" over the weekend and I definitely think this would make be a great cover by the Rifftrax guys.

Apparently the THC II is going to make THC I look like The Little Mermaid! I can't wait...
