A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

IMO, it's unquestionably been worth the ride. Everything we've done with the site has been completely and utterly worth it, and helping get a Blu-Ray (of any region) out with a documentary has been the best icing on the cake pretty much ever. Redstar and I absolutely LOVE working on the comic but we...

As a lot of you folks may know, the Discovery Family Channel here in the US has been airing SMB quite frequently over the past few months! I blame Jurassic World. What's cool about it is that it'll be the first/only way a lot of you guys will be able to watch SMB in high-definition. However, as with...

I've thought about it, but I think they'd get off with the whole fair use/transformative defense.

Thanks for posting this...I guess. I'm still pissed that they didn't give us credit or shout-out for using footage from our Leguizamo video, nor respond to any of our emails asking about it.

^Thanks for posting, Billbot!

The seller of this item, Paul, also sent me and Redstar a very nice email and posted on our Facebook page letting everyone know he was selling the item. It really is a great price and anyone interested should jump on it while they still can!

Hey, Alan! So glad you found us!

Your part in the film surrounds one of the bigger unsolved mysteries in terms of deleted scenes. If you're up for it, we'll have to get an interview with you on the site to finally solve the mystery!

They just need to graduate the Mario & Luigi development team to the Paper Mario franchise and continue their success with a classic team. They obviously know what they're doing considering they've handled prophecy, time-travel and much more. Haha yeah. People LOVE canon story stuff with the M&...

All good ideas. I think what I'd like to see is that really it's the game you actually do a big, canon Mario story within. I liked in Thousand Year Door where you got to play as Bowser and Peach... they could really take that to the next level. It always seems like they're afraid to give Mario and L...

Wow. Couldn't have put it better myself, KoopaBro. Above all else, fan-edits like this are an excellent exercise in letting fans reanalyze the films they love. If it gets us talking about the film again and thinking about it in new ways, then it has done its job

I think the thing some of you folks need to get behind is that this project is a fan-edit. There are some things I do and don't like in it--just like I view any other film. I see this project as a fun companion piece. The released film is definitely the version I prefer, but it's always interesting ...

I think he was pretty tired...it was after midnight and he had done two shows that day. But yeah--once I told him who I was he opened up a little and we got to talk for a few moments. Definitely a great interaction!

That's right, folks. I finally met John Leguizamo--Luigi himself--in person. Leguizamo has started doing a comedy club tour of his upcoming one-man-show, Latin History For Dummies . When developing his shows in the past, he had done it for small groups of friends and at theaters, etc. Doing this at ...

Thanks for letting everyone know about this, Redstar. I know a lot of people have been messaging you and/or complaining about letting the comic drop off and things like that. I don't think people realize how much blood, sweat, and tears you've poured into this community and all the projects the SMB ...

This is an AWESOME idea! Seems very novel...I don't think I've seen anyone try doing this before. I've always liked Bowser's look in that style. He looks like such an idiot.

That's a really intriguing observation. Any era/style of "Zelda" would make for a worthwhile adaptation. As we've seen, Mario is much harder. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it. It could be awesome or be a disaster. Nintendo has been so protective of their properties for media adapt...

Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars?

Did I mention Star Wars?

Yep, SolitaryPoet requested access to the forum. We actually have had quite a few requests lately!

Has anyone checked out this Kotaku article about Nintendo's 1993 character guide? http://kotaku.com/yoshis-real-name-is-actually-t-yoshisaur-munchakoopas-1617110901 Check out the "Mario is" section. It's a great rundown of what Nintendo thought Mario should be as a character. Plus it confi...

You could always merge the topics.

Yeah, you could get a Region 2 Blu-Ray player off Amazon, like this one that I linked to in the Blu-Ray Q/A post I made a couple of weeks ago: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-BD-F5100-Network-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B00BHBFECU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1412645305&sr=1-2&keywords...

Excellent post! I followed all the instructions to make a region-free Blu-Ray copy. Works like a charm in my PS3. I can't wait to try it soon in my Dad's theater room with the huge plasma TV and 7.1 speakers. I'd like to see updates to this as more people convert their copies and see if anyone else ...

Welcome to the boards, nesboy! I'm glad you took the time to e-mail me and get into the board.

I also appreciate your thread about getting the SMB Blu-Ray to work here in the US! I'm trying to get my own copy burned. Just need to get a 50 GB blank Blu-Ray first...

Wow, those are some pretty obvious typos. AFAIK, we were never sent the back cover for proofreading...we would've caught that right away--since we were sent the menus and caught a couple of typos there. ALSO, I don't yet have my retail copy so I can't 100% confirm this yet, but my laptop's Blu-Ray p...

Thanks for posting this, Mario500! It seems like Rocky was involved in providing a few interviews to promote Second Sight's Blu-Ray release. There was also another interview I read today HERE at Flickering Myth. As far as this Nintendo Life interview goes, I found Rocky's response to this question v...

Actually, when Sgt. Simon says "Mike! Show these Marios around the side," another cop does in fact grab M/L and escort them out of frame... and THEN you see Simon take control of M/L in the next shot. Maybe Mike just got busy real fast. Also, here's a new tidbit thanks to the new Blu-Ray r...

I've just made a site update with a new video--a Blu-Ray vs. DVD comparison. I took a bunch of screenshots from the Blu-Ray, and Redstar and I narrowed it down to the best ones. Then I took the crappy DVD and got the equivalent screens and combined them into one awesome video. Check it out: RLa3G2bU...

I can assure you I've seen the film at least as many times as you and yes--I've noticed this before. I'm pretty sure Koopa never addresses M/L by name either. It's always "plumbers," "mammals," monkeys," etc. There are two ways to look at this. Either Mario has nicknames for...

God, here we go again... http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-VINTAGE-COLLECTIBLE-NINTENDO-039-S-SUPER-MARIO-BROS-DEMO-TAPE-MOVIE-/321547324377?hash=item4addb6cbd9&pt=VHS&autorefresh=true $25,000 for the demo tape with the rare special effects featurette (that I put on YouTube years ago). I really, ...

Releasing an HD trailer (or even just really good HD stills) would be a fantastic idea. I'll get with Redstar and see what we can do.

I've only seen (and own) the softcover version also. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a hardcover existed from some sort of book club or order incentive or something.

That artwork is truly awesome, Carl. It really captures the style and feel of some of the old Zelda artwork. Well done!

Sigh. The ridiculously overpriced eBay listings continue: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ertl-Devo-Chamber-Special-Edition-Goomba-Action-Figure-Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-/331288754889?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4d22593ac9 $1200 for the Devo Chamber Goomba figure (along with some other figures from the ...

Haha, you guys are awesome! LBD, you didn't tell us you were busting out the Mario Movie duds again! You sly devil! That's a really interesting outfit Carl. I do appreciate that you made the overalls match the sprite of the original NES Super Mario Bros. I don't think I've seen anyone do that before!

I sent him a best offer for $10.

From the same crazed eBay seller that brought you the $900 Crash Action Police Car comes... ...the $2000 11" Talking Mario. Behold: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-MARIO-BROS-MOVIE-11-TALKING-MARIO-ERTL-1993-HTF-VERY-RARE-PULL-STRING-/141350946809?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item20e92c47f9

Cool designs! I always enjoy seeing updates to this thread. The classic outfit you have on Iggy is cool, but I also appreciate the variation with the "K" logo.

That thing looks awesome! The closest thing I have is a RetroDuo, which a friend got for me for Christmas one year. It plays both NES and Super NES games--it's pretty sweet. I imagine this thing is great. Let us know your impressions after you've played some games on it. I'd like to know just how &q...

Yeeeeeah. Shouldn't have fed the Serum.

Although I do agree--Shumacher is not a bad director at all. Batman & Robin, however, is a terrible film. It's not completely his fault though. I blame the studio more than anything.

Yeeeeeah.

Affleck will be a fine Batman. No problems here.

Thanks for posting that interview, Mario500. It's always fascinating to hear Bob talk about his acting process in interviews.

Listen at around 12:00 in. It's priceless.
