I've watched the movie once since getting the DVD and I have plenty of riff ideas. I'm somewhat inclined to record my script as an .mp3 file and send it to you. Not because I want to include my voice on the final mix, but because some of the riffs are going to need a certain inflection or tone. Thoughts? Well, my only dillemma there would be assigning a timecode to said statements... You're more than welcome to type as many details about how to SAY each riff as you'd like. Capitalize the word you want emphasized, preface the line with descriptions like (Sarcastically), (Naive), etc. If you feel such descriptions can't be typed, then maybe you could write the script as usual, and record the special lines as separate .mp3 files packaged into a .zip file. Name each .mp3 file after the number of the row of the spreadsheet that corresponds with that line. That way I'll have something to reference. Some things to think about. I know what you mean about wanting a joke said a certain way - wording and inflection can certainly make or break a joke.

I'd love to have a go at this!
I'll pay postage for DVD though given the geographical issues! ;D

I did recieve my copy, Sky. Thanks.
The opening song is so annoyingly bad, I can't get past it. I mean I have to stop watching the movie, before I kill myself!
I'll give it another shot, soon.
That Nessie movie was soooooo much easier to watch...

I'll mail you with the details. Thanks Sky!

So - anyone wanna talk about the scarring so far? Seriously, how's it coming for everyone? Here at my end, I've only made it through the first segment of the film BEFORE the whole Thumbelina thing. From the beginning to the Pirate World stock footage's end, in other words. Got several jokes I really like so far. (I would have more done, but it has been mega-hectic around here, and continues to be.) I like the challenge of riffing over the "music" (a term I'll use very loosely here). This will be my first time trying it officially. Thankfully the songs are awful in every sense of the word, which makes it easier for beginners like myself.

I watched it once, just to take some notes and get a feel for the movie. I ended up with three pages of notes and a feeling that my soul had been sucked out of my body.
Seriously...what the heck is this thing? Was it meant to be a children's program? I wouldn't show this to a child unless I wanted to punish him for something. Why is that creature named the "Ice Cream Bunny" when there is no ice cream?
There's a lot to work with here. But oh, the pain...

I've made it through the first 20 minutes a couple times.
It's worse than I remembered.
Send help.

I wrote down three riffs, in the first three minutes. Then I stopped writing anything, just to take in the awfulness of the production. Wow.
This is gonna be tough. There's so much singing...and singing isn't good to riff on. There's very few gaps to slip a joke into, you know? But that Thumbelina? She's kinda hot. And stacked!

Speaking of which...that opening Thumbelina song where all of the amusement park footage takes place proceeds to list all the things they would do if they "were Thumbelinaaaaaa...".... I thought it might be a fun riffing opportunity if Sky or myself asked the other what he would do if HE were Thumbelina. The song does pose an interesting debate topic, after all. If you're having trouble coming up with any other riffing opportunities there (there's plenty of room for other jokes as well, of course), anyone got any funny suggestions for something we could do with that?

I have tried 3 times to watch this and I have yet to get more than 10 minutes into it. I'm going to try again in the next day or two, but this is one tough nut to crack.

That's a great idea, Raja. I'll see if I can come up with something. It's a good way to attack the song. (And does that song ever need attacking!)
