Riffing THE ROOM

Jun 15, 2009 14:19

FSM save us all, on Thursday RiffTrax releases their riff on The Room. If you have not experienced this fantastic, brain-rotting horror show -- one of the few films that makes Battlefield Earth seem coherent by comparison, a movie that makes you long for the depth and introspection of Manos: The Hands of Fate -- Mike Nelson's blog covers it in ( Read more... )

The Close Examination Of Really Complicated Plastic Joints: A History

Hmm.. "WIN3.1: UNLEASHED" The true story of how a group of rebel software engineers changed the destiny of the world!

Oh c'mon - hothing is original these days, that is so passe! It has to be a remake...

Plan 9 from Outer Space - The Musical.

Ummm... "Nothing", not "hothing". (I miss Firefox's spellcheck script, although it can't compete with Chrome's speed...)

Been done at least twice, one version of which is on YouTube.

Exactly - if it hadn't already been done, it would be (sort of) original, and thus would have at least half a redeeming quality...

I really want to make a totally cheesy horror-slash-everybodysploitation flick called Space Nazis From Starlag 17!

I'm thinking tight leather bondage costumes on the bad guys (and girls), pandimensional chromed-up motorcycles straight out of the Will It Blend? segment featuring The Iron Dream and The Running Man, lots of gratuitous nudity (plus a balanced naked dude : naked chick ratio), a cast of quirky lovable and hatable heroes, and an earthshattering finale involving several Olympic-sized swimming pools' worth of chicken soup.

It'd be an instant cult classic among the right people, and doesn't stand a chance in hell of ever getting made, even with my connections. :)

Well, we could always put out a crappy remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. If we really want to mess with people we could cast a one-note actor with the range of a Daisy air rifle. Keanu Reeves perhaps? But no one would be crazy enough to do that.

Or maybe The Secret Life of Henry Thoreau: Gentleman Vampire Hunter.

Over here, somebody suggested the series Marie Antoinette: Vampire Hunter. She even gets a catch-phrase: "Let them eat STAKE!"

bryanp June 16 2009, 11:55:19 UTC

Hell, I'd go see that.
