Wow, is he a relative of the evil monkey from “Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders”?

@ Sharktopus – Yes, it actually is. According to modern etiquette guides you only scream at throw rocks at Pepsico-owned fast food establishments (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell). For McDonalds the standard response for disputes would be to attempt to crawl thru the drive thru window or possible defecation hurling. The list is long but it’s worth knowing your fast food altercation etiquette with responses ranging from death threats (Wendy’s) to staring contests (Jack in the Box) to free style rap battles (Hardees). Please don’t feel bad as a few months ago I was stabbing a Rally’s employee and the manager had to remind me I was using my right (!) hand to stab instead of my left. You can imagine my social embarrassment… But I switched hands and learned a lesson. It’s these little things that separate us from primates.
I agree with Gummo on the Potter movies. I dig them, but they also make for the funniest Rifftrax selections in my opinion. So I don’t care about suicides or monkeys or stupid attempts to steal money. Give me HP:OotP already.
Where can I buy one of those monkeys?
@losingmydignity – Well this one in particular was purchased by my sister in the little-known toy district of Los Angeles’ Chinatown.
And yes, as the two of them drove away, my sister was heard to say “Forget it, Pooping Monkey, it’s Chinatown.”
Hah, good one Sean. I will scour the stores of New York’s Chinatown in search of another. And I will ask, very politely, “Have you seen my little monkey?”
Was there a release date mentioned? The only thing I dislike about the video announcements is the destruction of 20 Questions.
@ Dr Lombardi: Good thing we don’t have any Hardees in my neck of the woods – my freestyle rap is not at all up to snuff. Oddly enough though, I’ve often resorted to death threats at Wendy’s, without even realizing that was the proper response. Out of hot chili seasoning my shiny metal ass…
As for the pooping monkey, it may have been PURCHASED in Chinatown, but there’s not a doubt in my mind it was CREATED in Japan.
off topic…Sleestaks taste like chicken.
Looking forward to the short dvds!
I’ll just toss in here – I LOVE the Lord of the Rings, all three movies. Saw them in the theaters the first weekends they came out. I bought the extended DVDs on Amazon before they came out. However, I also LOVE the Rifftrax for those movies. The jokes only made me enjoy the movies I love even more.
I never saw any of the Harry Potter movies in the theater because the books and hype didn’t interest me. I rented the first HP movie to watch with their Rifftrax. I ended up buying the movie because the Riffing was SOOOO solid. I have bought every other HP movie and the Rifftrax that goes with it because they are just too funny together.
I think that the guys make the bad movies better and the good movies even greater. JMHO.
Speaking as someone who has an enormous round head, please make fun of Leonardo’s enormous round head.
Well, I dunno about you folks, but I’ve enjoyed their “Shorts” DVDs so I’m thrilled they’ll be coming out with two new ones later this month! :)
Now if only the CT crew can hurry up and get their next DVD out, been waiting waaaay too long for their latest…:(

Christopher Nolan is one of the most overrated, over-inflated directors working today. His work is for the soulless masses and Inception is his masterpiece of meaningless, pretentious garbage.
if a person enjoyed Inception, or believed it to be complex, it can only be the result of some kind of character flaw. Christopher Nolan’s Inception is lifeless in its look, pointless in its plot, contrived in its awareness, predictable, and ultimately irrelevant as an actual film. I can’t believe a serious discussion regarding the films complexity or importance even exists. It’s as if I am in someone else’s dream and they’re trying to tell me I just saw a good movie. Everyone will want an explanation as to why we gave it half of one star out of five. Half a star means “Never Want To See It Again,” not even bad enough to have fun. I’m sort of burnt out on not liking this movie so I’ll finish this rant with numbers instead of real paragraphs.
1. Christopher Nolan said it took him 10 years to write Inception, yet Leo’s character is unbelievably identical to his character in Shutter Island. A grieving husband’s whole world collapses while he suffers from schizophrenic appearances of his delusional wife, whom he may or may not be responsible for killing. Crazy coincidence? Really?
2. This film is not overly complicated! Dom explains every rule and plot point for throughout the entire first hour of the film, all you had to do is pay attention, sure it is dense but the fact that people can hardly follow it alerts my “Nolan bull****” radar. While most of the rules of Inception were explained, there was almost no logical explanations for the rules themselves! It’s like telling people in Dreamworld 2 + 2 = 5 but never explaining why we are doing math. The dream machines were developed by the military, okay, well how did the characters get them? Cobb was fleeing from the police from fear of being arrested? Arrested for what? His wife killed herself! Even the worst forensic cop, on his worst day could tell the whether someone jumped or was pushed. I’m not one to be bothered by plot holes, but Nolan asked for it by trying so hard to make sense of things. Last thing, If people are supposed to wake up with “the sensation of falling” why didn’t the kick from the van crashing into the wall pull Arthur from Level 2 and Yusef awake in real …. wait a minute… I know this nerd that can explain why everything in Inception makes sense, his name is
Shaun Szkolnik.
The rules of the film are meaningless and without them what is left?
3. Nothing in the film resembled a “Real” Dream because Nolan didn’t want people to know whether or not the movie was a dream, the ultimate cop-out by someone who refers to themselves as an artist.
At the end of the day, we should all question any film that resorts to explaining it’s plot through dialogue. Ask yourself what else is going on in this film to warrant insufficient character development? Is it visually stunning or structurally progressive? Not this time. What is truly remarkable is the fact that the only person I’ve heard complaining about plot-dialogue was this 11 year old film critic I saw on morning television.

Bravo and Hats Off to the guys from Rifftrax for taking on this Stinkburger!
Keep up the good work!
