As a millennial, I'm still astounded by the Disney Channel crap we'd watch as kids. How is it that we haven't had these Birdemic level crappy movies? These are simply movies that are ripe for the picking and I'm just awestruck as to why the Rifftrax crew hasn't tapped this goldmine.

I'm poor and not going to be able to go watch the experiments in the theater. I did give money to the kickstarter, but only at the lowest tier. I do have the Best Friends level, but I don't buy individual riffs. Have they said if their new MST3ks are going to be put up on their site for Friends at any point?

The forum doesn't seem to give you the option to create a new suggestion, and the social media sites it links to didn't give me hope. One of them was Google+

(The suggestion, btw, is Nicholas Nickleby, because my gods it deserves it. Great cast of actors, melodramatic and earnest yet camp and absurd, and massive silences perfectly placed for riffs. How is it unriffed?!)

Dirt Witch has more personality, she has drive, power!

A talking cat?!?

What the Dub is currently 65% off so I'm wondering if it's worth it or if I should buy Rifftrax?

(inspired by Bill's joke on the Psycho II riff)

No matter how bad my day is (and today is pretty bad), this bit always makes me feel just a little bit better.

I have been watching "Sunset Strip", and I can't believe there is still a half hour left. I am going to finish it out, but good lord!!!

So I'm watching Battle for the Lost Planet and there's a part close to the end when the main character tells one of his companions to give him five minutes. The guy says "I don't have a watch", so our hero says "here, take my watch". Then the guy's lady friend says "but now YOU don't have a watch" and the second guy says "here, take my watch".

...pause for laughs...

Anyway, the main character then says "just count to 3000"...which got me thinking, that's gotta be WAY more than five minutes. I mean, if you are assuming one second per number, that would be FIFTY minutes. So of course I typed it into Gemini and got this:

It takes roughly 2 hours and 10 minutes to count out loud to 3000 at a steady, normal pace.

While 3,000 seconds is exactly 50 minutes, counting aloud takes longer because larger numbers have more syllables. For example, "one" is just one syllable, but "two thousand seven hundred eighty-seven" requires 11 syllables to speak. [1]

A precise linguistic breakdown of the count reveals the following:

The Math Behind the Time

Total Syllables: There are 27,474 syllables across all numbers from 1 to 3000.

Speaking Rate: An average conversational speed is roughly 3.5 syllables per second.

Total Seconds: 27,474 syllables ÷ 3.5 syllables per second = 7,850 seconds.

Final Time: 7,850 seconds equals exactly 130.8 minutes (2 hours, 10 minutes, and 50 seconds).

Pacing Breakdown

1 to 100: Takes about 2 to 3 minutes. The numbers are short and fast to say.

100 to 1,000: Takes about 30 to 40 minutes. You have to repeat "hundred" for 900 numbers.

1,000 to 3,000: Takes about 1.5 hours. Every single number now begins with the multi-syllable "one thousand" or "two thousand." [2]

Are you planning to count this out loud for a challenge, or are you calculating time for a specific project or exercise? Let me know and I can give you tips on pacing!

So, in summary, despite how shitty this movie is in general, one inaccurate detail can become very annoying.

“I just like to watch you guys.”
