You know I've never used a Rifftrax before. Which is odd considering how much riffing material I actually own.

I know this won't happen because of your little internets, but you can torrent movies with the riffs already applied. It's completely illegitimate and I would never condone it, of course.

Actually I do torrent, but only when stealing high speed from someone else. Maybe once I week I get an hour or two of high speed access and I save up everything I want to watch or download and do it then.

Rumble · « **Reply #3032 on:** Dec 05, 2012, 07:20:38 AM »

So not only do you steal copyrighted materials, you even steal the high speed internet to do it with.

You sir are my new pirate idol

I like to think of myself as a privater who fights the injustice of cheap companies that don't want to put up single dime of their own money to run cables out here.

Bambi, Tinkerbell, Simsala Grimm and Kung fu panda. Someone please kill me

You should've asked the guy who killed Bambi's mom to off you before Tinkerbell.

Bambi 2

Bambi had actually some funny parts. Bambi 2 is bullshit (his dad sounds like a pr0n actor circa the 80s)

Exactly how I would expect the dad of someone called Bambi to sound

There are some things that just shouldn't have a fucking sequel.

Killing Them Softly.

I liked it, but it wasn't terribly original. It paints the familiar picture of organized crime being populated by unglamorous, mundane fuckers that we've seen plenty of times already over the past twenty years. I did enjoy the final scene, which basically plays out as a condemnation of all humankind. At least that's how I took it.

I saw Ted the other day.
It had some funny moments but I've seen it all before. Then again my expectations were low since I'm not that big a fan of Seth McFarlane's tv shows either

joe · « **Reply #3042 on:** Dec 13, 2012, 07:47:12 PM »

Do you know how much money Ted has made?

I wish I was seeing the Hobbit tonight as I loved LOTR movies and this was a movie I was REALLY looking forward too, maybe even more then Skyfall. Sadly...my money has to go to X-mas presents and gas, so no Hobbit for me till next Friday.

At first I thought you were talking about Dave Chappelle`s standup show

B E C K · « **Reply #3046 on:** Dec 14, 2012, 10:57:47 PM »

I saw the doc Heckler today. It started off very, very good when it was about stand-up comics and hecklers. Then it got to film critics, treating them as hecklers which was already a stretch in my opinion. But then it moved on to the internet, treating them as hecklers as well. Yes, there's a lot LOT of shit on the internet but jeez. And it wasn't as if the film explored people who go to official fan pages and such to troll. Or even internet bullying or stalking of a performer. It started in about people reviewing shit from their own domains and blogs. Kinda like when Jay and Silent Bob go and beat up people talking smack on them on the internet except with Jamie Kennedy and some other goobers whining about feelings and shit.*

I mean, really?

Navigate away from the fuckin' page. If you think the person writing it is a basement-dwelling loser virgin with no right to an opinion, then why are you on their website reading their opinion and being so hurt about it? Yet you're free to make sexist and racists jokes because it's a part of your craft? Whatev. That really brought down Heckler because one minute we're exploring a reaction like that guy from Seinfeld who attacked hecklers with the n-word; the interview segments that were subsequently shown in Heckler kinda defended that in the "well, it's stand up comedy" and "who isn't racist bullshit" and "he just reacted to a heckler" vein of things. None of that being verbatim, but that's what I got from it. And that's a legitimate angle to see it from. The problem is that we go from something like that to "asshole film critics and internet twats are insulting my craaaaaft baaawww my feeeeelings". And I think dealing with a person who comes to your show and makes live disruptions is apples to the oranges that is mostly-anon internet bullshitting. Also, Jamie Kennedy apparently made Heckler in the first place due to negative reactions to his apparent masterpiece Son of Mask. I won't even comment on that last part because god forbid Jamie Kennedy googles himself one day, sees it, and cries.

*Jon Lovitz had a valid reaction being kinda horrified at a blog apparently dedicated to killing him. But as for the rest, it was mainly people doing movie reviews for shits and giggles.

tl;dr - Heckler was good until it started whining and equated viewers not liking shit to getting heckled live while on stage.

The Hobbit.

I don't know what to think about all the stuff they added that wasn't part of the original story. I'm pretty sure I didn't like it. Also, some scenes were way too fucking verbose. It was really obvious how much they were stretching out the running time.

But overall, not bad. My favorite scene was easily the escape from Goblin-town. To me, it evoked the greatness of LoTR more than anything else in the movie.

joe · « **Reply #3048 on:** Dec 20, 2012, 09:53:35 PM »

Life of Pi. Not bad.

spoilers, goddamnit

Dumbo. SAD AS FUCK. Really, i didnt remember that movie being so fucking depressing and sad, no wonder the poor thing got drunk

B E C K · « **Reply #3051 on:** Dec 21, 2012, 11:37:46 PM »

Dumbo's on Netflix's streaming service and I won't touch it.

Merla and I are conflicted about seeing the Hobbit. I want to and I will see it eventually. But the bloat that has to be there concerns me. I'm worried about something like this even though I know this is a joke.

The book's only been around 75 years. The statute of limitations on spoilers has expired.

bullshit, cant assume that everyone had read the books

anyways i saw the movie and i loved it :3

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #3054 on:** Dec 27, 2012, 12:59:07 PM »

But I can assume that, if they haven't, it's their own fault.

But it's good to see all the positive reviews. Planning to see it this weekend.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #3055 on:** Dec 27, 2012, 03:19:00 PM »

So its your own fault if you havent read all those other books which became movies later on. So then you cant complain about getting spoiled cause it`d be your own fault for not reading X book

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #3056 on:** Dec 27, 2012, 06:01:54 PM »

Yeah, pretty much, however....

...I cop to having spoiled the SHIT out of myself by reading Return of the King before the movie! I wish I'd watched the movie first, so I wouldn't have watched it with that elitist, douchey air of "that's wrong, it's not like it was in the book."

Rumble · « **Reply #3057 on:** Dec 27, 2012, 07:39:27 PM »

I read LotR and the Hobbit way before there was even talk of movies.
Don't mind being spoiled tho, it's not like there are a lot of intricate plot twists in the story.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #3058 on:** Dec 28, 2012, 08:43:46 AM »

I heard Tolkien decided to give the elves long blonde hair after seeing Rumble at a bar :3

Ive been wanting to read LOTR for a long time but when I had time to do it I couldnt get it in english. But I def want to read American Psycho before. I heard its gory and disgusting

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #3059 on:** Dec 28, 2012, 08:57:37 PM »

You might want to eat your Wheaties before taking on LOTR. It's a dense read, at least until you get used to the style. Tolkien really wanted you to know everything about a scene before getting to anything resembling relevance. But what it loses in tight prose it gains in atmosphere and the stimulation of imagination.
