Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 12:04:23 PMTHE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE (2001): A stoical barber develops a plan to blackmail his wife's employer, which spirals out of control into tragedy. Drags at times, but who wouldn't want to see the Coen brothers try their hand at a classic noir, with all of the moralistic nihilism that implies? 4/5.

Bad Movies / Re: Films that didn't need a r...
Last post by claws - Today at 11:49:26 AMPretty much every 'legendary' bad movie doesn't need riffing.
The Room: Tommy Wiseau's surreal line deliveries and baffling plot turns already feel like a live riff track.
Birdemic: Shock and Terror: The CGI birds, the sound glitches, the acting... it's self‑riffing cinema.
Troll 2: A legendary disaster with unforgettable "they're eating her!" energy.
Plan 9 from Outer Space: Ed Wood's earnest incompetence is already the joke.
Samurai Cop: Dialogue, wigs, continuity... every frame is a punchline.
Miami Connection: Ninjas, synth rock, friendship speeches, riffing would only interrupt the magic.
Battlefield Earth: Dutch angles and overacting make it unintentionally comedic on its own.
Batman & Robin: Neon excess, ice puns, and toyetic chaos already feel like parody.
Howard the Duck: A bizarre tonal mess that's already absurd enough without commentary.
Catwoman: Hyperactive editing and baffling choices make it unintentionally hilarious.
As for Hobgoblins. It's just flat-out bad with zero redeeming values. Or, at least I couldn't find or see any. Nothing memorable, nothing quotable.
It was literally a pain to sit through. But then again, people say the same about Troll 2 or Showgirls so, each to their own.

This guy Soldier does some weird experimental music--he once trained elephants to play marimbas and recorded it. This is more conventional, though still pretty strange for most folks.

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 10:09:53 AMRiffing PLAN 9 and THE ROOM were almost redundant and kind of watered down the experience. Other than those two classics, however, I think every movie benefits from a good riffing. I would not really want to see HOBGOBLINS on its own. Thanks but no thanks.

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 10:06:03 AMI was going to go with JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG, but it probably overlaps completely with the previous one, so

Good Movies / Re: The Odyessy (2026)
Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 09:31:50 AMI kept waiting for Nobody, but I wasn't especially disappointed when it didn't appear. You can't include everything in a 3 hour movie. Nolan also skipped the Lotus Eaters, although he shoehorned it in a little.
