Hey Frink...just wanted to let you know I finally finished watching your edit.

Good stuff man....you had me rolling. Also, my wife enjoyed it way more than I thought she would. She was in the other room and was wondering why "the tv kept repeating" "the chair recognizes" the chair does not recognize" LoL.

From that point she was hooked. So that's 2 thumbs up from both of us.

Now we'll spend the next few weeks asking each other "are you an angel?" Or just randomly saying "You catch on pretty quick".

 

LoL

Ok, just finished watching this. Truly hilarious and entertaining. Kudos, Frink; I don't think I've ever had so much fun watching a Star Wars prequel.

What I especially liked:

-"Now there are two of them!"

-"The boy will never pass the council's tests. He's too short!"

-"What if it is true? And it's the truth?"

-Obi-Wan vs. Maul video game footage

What I didn't like so much:

Only two things worth mentioning here. First of all, I was a bit put off by Anakin's "R2, see if you can get us off this [song], it's gonna get us both killed." Having most the line in English and just one word subtitled felt really forced to me. When it comes time to do the Special Edition, I would recommend changing this so that the entire line is Hutteese and subtitled.

Second, and maybe I'm just showing my ignorance here, but what was the deal with the "Do not want" subtitle under Obi-Wan's first "Noooooooo!" I didn't get it.

 

Also, one idea I had for anothing recurring gag (throughout the series): Given Lucas' propensity for including visuals of ships landing and taking off throughout the prequels, I thought it would be funny to hear loud breaking sounds (like dropped glass, or whatever) whenever we see a ship land. Just a thought.

Again, nicely done. Lookin' forward to the next one.

I see. Makes sense, then.

Still, I'm not sure it fits. Up to this point, we've been conditioned to expect memes and internet lingo from R2 and the battle droids. IMO, it doesn't work quite as well coming from Obi-Wan.

Just my $0.02.

But its a Star Wars "Big No" meme, so its more like someone accidentally turned on all of the subtitle options for a second.

It's not a bad idea, but I thought it was funny to have a single word subtitled.

Incidentally, I'm not sure I'm going to bother with the SE at this point.  The commentary was a disaster and I don't know that there is enough other stuff worth spending the time on another release.

The link on the first page didn't work for me but i went to the fanedit.info place and went into the ridicullous menace there and there was a direct download link for the covers. Now i have them :D

Thanks :)

You could release the commentary as an MP3 we could try to sync up, just for fun's sake.

I just watched this again and loved it again.  I found that I had missed some of the jokes the first time.

I posted a review at FE.org.  Kudos again, Fink.

Overdue thanks and congrats on The Ridiculous Menace Frink! Loved it. The Benny Hill-style Gungan battle is perfect and the only way it should be seen.

As a similar movie to this one will be in theaters soon, what are people's suggestions for quick TRM references [in the vein of Rocky Horror] someone could blurt out to find other Ridiculous Menace fans?

That would be fantastic.
