    Additionally, I'm pretty sure the clips they use for these preview bits are the ones the film distributors have officially endorsed for use by movie reviewers, award shows, and annoying Hollywood insider programs like ET.


    Having watched probably 90% of the Rifftrax produced, I can say that the real side-splitting zingers rarely make it into the free previews.

    Not every riff in Rifftrax is golden, and if you took a drink every time Kevin or Bill made a fart joke, you'd be passed out before the end of the first reel change.


    That said, I don't think I've ever regretted watching a Riffrax (at least not for the funny commentary), and I consider Mike and the gang to be performing a valuable service to the community by making self-indulgent stinkburgers like 'The Happening' and overhyped action flicks like 'I Am Legend' 'Beowolf' and 'Ironman' palatable to people who wouldn't have watched them otherwise.

    (and rifftrax isn't that funny to begin with. I can come up with better snark in my sleep.)

    @alphanumeric1971: Its one thing to be snarky, its another to be funny. I took a class in college where the final assignment was to do something funny. Some people tried a MST3K thing.


    Its was painfully unfunny.

    Basically you tricked me into watching a tiny bit of twilight, something I swore never to do.

    So, Twilight has a thing about the main characters being a human/vampire couple where one is a telepath but can't read the other's mind?


    Which came first, this or True Blood?


    I won't bother asking which is better)

    Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park made being an archaeologist very cool. Also Rachel Weisz (also known as the crush of every ivy league college student everywhere) in the Mummy series.

    @Justin Cho: Dr. Grant was not an archaeologist. He was a paleontologist. Archaeologists look for artifacts and remains pertaining to human beings. Paleontologists look for the remains of extinct animals such as dinosaurs.

    "It's almost as though the Federation's apparent policy of stranding one or two people on an uninhabited planet for years at a time to dig through the remains of a dead civilization was somehow flawed."
