I know I've pimped many, many -- many -- things on Topless Robot so far in 2009, but please, if you buy only one thing this year that I tell you, make it this: the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Rifftrax. I have been waiting for this moment since I first suffered through the film in theaters, and certainly, it is the only way I would subject myself to ROTF's excruciating agony one more time. I can't tell you how much I look forward to Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett sobbing hysterically during the interminable Shia the Beef's-mother-inexplicably-on-pot-brownies scene; I will sob along with them, and hopefully, just maybe, I will be cleansed.
The Rifftrax can be ordered for a mere $4 here; obviously, you should avoid buying the actual Transformers 2 DVD if at all possible, instead ordering it via Netflix or borrowing it from any of the millions of horrible people who bought it this week. Truly, this is the only way I can recommend watching Transformers 2. It won't make the movie any less awful, but the Rifftrax guys will be a small beacon of sanity in a dog-humping, robot-testicle-having, Turturro-buttocks-exposing world, and that, my friends, is priceless.

I find it oddly ironic that all the hate Rob puts to this movie, all it does is make people spend more money on it, renting the movie for rifftrax, all that money goes and will make it so there are even more bayformers movies.
ANd I doubt they will be sobbing during any part of it, they are what every nerd wishes they were when mocking a movie, and they do it well, rather then just well sob or whatever
Mike said:
Damnit . . . why, Mike, Kevin and Bill? WHY?
I suffered through that movie once . . . Why are you making me want to suffer through Soundwave tentacle raping a satellite again? Why?
(Seriously, Doc Forrester should have waited and unleashed THIS movie . . . he would have taken over the world by lunchtime . . . )

Um.. that's not exactly how video rentals work. Especially as I doubt the presence or absence of Rob's criticism is likely to sway Netflix demand for the movie one iota.
Apparently the actual commentary track is "interesting." I heard that they basically say that the script and what Bay actually put on-screen were two totally different things.

@pumpkinguts: We all do man, we all do.
Welp, looks like I'll have to increase my DVD budget if I want to get the Rifftrax as well.

I hope this one is better than their Fast and Furious Rifftrax or their riffs of good-to-decent movies (Raiders, Jaws, Potter, X2, etc.) because those were just boring. Fast and Furious was especially unfortunate as you'd think it would be a great riff but they were as bored with the movie as I was apparently. Don't let me down again, boys!

The Fast & Furious riff had me rolling during the long rant against Chuck Klosterman.
I've yet to see any Rifftrax -- or Cinematic Titanic -- not worth their price.
Weakly said:
I love MST and Rifftrax, but even with Mike, Bill and Kevin's help, I could not get through ten minutes of that first goddamn Transformers movie.

@ Mike
Forgot about the Klosterman rant. Still, after the hilarity of the Twilight riff, I think I set myself up for disappointment.

I don't know if I shoudl call you a fuckwad or a retard. Seriously bragging about watching a movie for free? So either you are moothing off others, or you are pirating the movie.
The first option is fine but the second seriously who much of a fuck wad do you have to be to be stealing movies, I don't care how bad they may or may not be in your opinion. Thats just pathetic.
Oh and rifftrax doing this will sell a shit ton more copies weither they mean to or not, so this is all win. Even if they are rented, because if alot of people start to rent then they will get more copies.
Snoodle said:
@Sly Snoodles
This is me asking you to stop using a variation of my username to complain about the state of piracy on the internet in a venue wherein I think I'm right in saying nobody cares enough to discuss it.
Now that that's out of that way, I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Ahriman said:
@ Sly
How's Bay's Koolaid taste? I only pirate shit I'd never buy or, on occasion if I'm unsure about a band. If I like I'll buy-If not it's deleted. I'm not going to listen to it/watch it so why ntake up harddrive space?

@pumpkinguts
You should get the MST3K static cling for your tv. That might be the only thing keeping me sane if I ever get around to watching ROTF.

I remember someone commenting how much Michael Bay must have loved destroying that library. Cause books and all that stuff is for fags bro. They're all tarded and shit.

Are you drunk? What the fuck did that even mean? That was crazy drunk guy grammar there... kind of early for boozing isn't it?
Anyway...
Thank you Rob. I'll be ordering this Rifftrax ASAP. (God bless Mike, Kevin, and Bill.)

talk about fast i thought it would take the rif rax crew a little longer to give their view on transformers the revenge of the fallen. but looks like the wait is over with.
Xenos said:
I notice this scene has Michael Bat's only use for a library and books... as things to be BLOWN DA FXXX UP.

This is the only damn way I'd EVER consider watching this film...
KEEP CIRCULATING THOSE TAPES!!!

Never got into RiffTrax, maybe I should start. MST3K was easily one of my favorite tv shows ever.
