Oh Hi, "The Room!"

Postby Terry » Sun Jun 21, 2009 3:29 am

Rifftrax is back!  And this time, they've chosen a film that's a bit off the beaten path: Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

I've never heard of this film, but this small clip has intregues me.  Apparently, it's been playing on the Midnight Movie circuit for years here in Los Angeles.  But of course, I haven't been here for very long, so I never got to see it.  The film is very hard to come by on DVD, but Amazon does have some copies.  And I'm seriously considering purchasing it, Rifftrax or no.  I mean, how can I not after seeing such memorable scenes as:

The flower shop.  Oh hi, doggie."

The touching Underwear Story.  "Oh hi, Mike."

Everything about this movie is so awesomely bad.  Why it's enough to tear a guy apart.*

*Joke nicked from the AV Club review.
If my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
And if I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

I'm not sure whether it's Done to pimp your own stuff here, but I've made a Venture Brothers AMV to the tune of "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance. Yeah. It's all about Rusty's issues. Warning: contains a lot of footage from Season 3, and some of it may be spoilery.

Here it is.

Indie power!

EDIT: And I forgot to say, but thanks to Graham and Steve for beta-watching and technical assistance (as well as putting up with my playing the song for hours).

I never would have thought that Rusty's barrel of issues could be expressed in song, but I take it back. There's a great mixture of footage in here and it's well-timed (at least to my untrained eyes) and does a pretty good job of telling the story and explaining the whole failure thing. Nice use of a guitar solo, too. ;D

David, I am unsure what to make of your email. Do you have pets in the apartment or not?

Dear Helen,
No. I have a goldfish but due to the air conditioner in my apartment being stuck on a constant two degrees celsius, the water in its bowl is iced over and he has not moved for a while so I do not think he is capable of disturbing the neighbours. The ducks in the bathroom are not mine.

Good work Chris. I've watched this a few times now and enjoyed it!

My only complaint is unfortunately not an easy one to fix. Practically every clip changes the aspect ration or borders in some way, and a lot of clips have TVMA signs or [adultswim.com] on them. It's quite distracting as it's very inconsistent.

It's fine as it is, I think, but if you ever think about revising or remaking it that's the number one thing I'd try to fix.

"Death Note, Completely Funny Parody"

WARNING: Spoilers.  Death Note scenes dubbed with audio from various other sources (mostly SpongeBob).  Best part (in my opinion, 1:26 - 1:48):  JUPITER... THUNDER... DRAGON!

Why does the devil have all the best tunes?

Jokes aside, that rocked. The bit towards the middle with the fanfare scared the heck out of me, though...

<Blomman> who was it that got married here?
<Alexander> Oh, that was a drunken night in Vegas I'd rather forget...
<Alexander> I mean... Graham and Chris.
<Blomman> really?
<Alexander> Yes.
<Blomman> not that i'm against that kind of thing, but isn't that like, uh, illegal in some states?
<Alexander> I could explain, but I don't want to. :D
------------------------------------------------------
* Alexander is trying to avoid becoming one-dimensional.
<Alexander> I've just had a terrible, frightening thought.
<Alexander> I've been fleshing out Mara's character, right? Giving her depth? In the meantime, what's happening to *me*?
<gkscotty> obviously she's siphoning off your "reality"
<Alexander> Dear God.
<Graham> She's a vampire!
<Graham> A lesbian vampire!
<gkscotty> pretty soon, it'll be Mara writing stories about Alex falling in love with Lisa.
