RiffTrax w Mike Nelson - Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith

http://www.rifftrax.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=85


The Sith is back, and this time he has come to make ponderous speeches to the gathered Senate and kick tail -- and he's all out of ponderous speeches to the gathered Senate! Ian McDiarmid steals the show as the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (not to be confused with the heart medication of the same name. Palpatine is not for everyone. Ask your doctor if Palpatine might be right for you.) He inhabits the character showing astonishing range: now fey and annoying, now wrinkled and laughable. As to the rest of the cast -- it's the darndest thing, but I can't recall that there was anyone else even in the movie.

There was a Darth Vader costume, I believe, but that was filled by a wax statue and manipulated digitally to remove any possible chance that it would be interesting in any way. And there was something called a Ewan McGregor, but further research shows that to be a technical term used by the key grip for a kind of light stand.

Oh, and Natalie Portman was in it, kind of.

Mike is joined by Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy on the RiffTrax for this, the Sithiest film ever made!

"It was really pretty cute, you could tell they had practiced it..."

[brrrenna]

"Yep, everyone who got stoned before the movie is watching the digital ships fly and thinking god, I can't believe that looked cool two hours ago"

I always hated how this movie series turned Obi-Wan from a wise old hermit into a bumbling, easy-to-anger, murderous, red-bearded brit who would leave his own "son" to writhe in agony alone on a hostile world...HOPING that Anakin would succumb to his wounds and die....painfully and slowly.

No, if you are going to follow the faux-Bushido philosophy of the "Force", you end the life of this bad seed quickly and painlessly.

When Mike joked about how those who got stoned started hating the effects two hours later, it reminded me of the time when I got stoned on kush when I saw saw 2012, thinking that it was just an all visual, no story shit-fest.

Ironically, I still thought the film sucked the whole way through.

I think this is the best part. "Pardon me, grotesque triple amputee but I'm looking for someone. Roughly your height, with legs of course. Petulant attitude, wanted to rule the galaxy, probably won't find him on any beaches."

"You know, when no one's around, Yoda uses the Force to pick up the Cubs game."

Prince of Space reference for the win! "Hang on, I'm trying to pick up a Dodgers game here."

It was pretty cute, you could tell they practiced.
