A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Happy birthday to bob-omb, who turns 23, today.

No, for the love of-- he's got a cape, he can fly, he shoots fire from his bare hands and for being an obese plumber in his mid-thirties he can perform incredible acrobatics with minimal of effort. He's a superhero! I think Mario is chubby not obeese. Fat is fat, anyway you slice it. Believe me, I ...

Uh, those were actual supervillains that appeared in comics and the cartoon series.

And what an impression they've made on me.

You people are just making up supervillains, now.

Does anyone else find it a little disconcerting that Mario's cousin Stanley isn't mentioned in many games? Also, Stanley is blonde, Mario has dark brown hair, so I'm starting to think he might be a distant cousin.

Also a very cute song, though I think I like the Mountain Goats song a little better, if for no other reason because that song doesn't have any references to "Waluigi" in it.

Welcome to the only board on the internet dedicated to the best movie ever made!

Either that's a good mockup, or Criterion is considering my advice?

Rodney Dangerfield was way too old, even in 1993. Also, I think John Belushi would have fit in with the cynical type they portrayed Mario to be in the Bennett/Runte 2/19/92 draft.

Yeah, Stanley the Bugman. He's an exterminator.

Maybe a twenty year old Jim Varney as Luigi, but Jim Varney circa 1993? No, there's not a snowball's chance in Hell of that working in any reality. However, had he lived, John Belushi would have made an excellent Mario. He was a short, hairy, chubby guy with an attitude-- Mario! :mrgreen: Now, Tom H...

jka12002 wrote:You are making this up arent you?

Nope, I read it in an old issue of Nintendo Power.

I also have a wild theory that Mister Game and Watch is Mario and Luigi's father. But, as Toad would say: "It's just my theory."

We all know that Mario and Luigi are brothers, and that Wario is their rival. But how many of you know of Stanley the Bugman? Stanley is Mario's cousin, and he's an exterminator from one of the early Game and Watch games. He only appeared in a few Game and Watch games and in an early variant of &quo...

I also would have given Fat Cat Franklin (As I will refer to Wario in this thread from now on.) a thick Egyptian-style goatee and bushy sideburns and a mullet instead of a similar mustache to Mario, and dressed him in jeans, a t-shirt with a frowny face and suspenders instead of overalls, no hat and...

I like Wario just fine, I just don't care all that much for his name. This sporadic "W" for "M" stuff baffles me, but in the 90s, it made sense back then. If I had named the character I would have dubbed him with one of the following names... Marky the Miser Greedy Greg Gold-Coin...

Exactly what you said. Sweet and cute, though still not the most stimulating work. Most of the Mountain Goats music is actually very hateful, so this was a different take for them. This is about as light-hearted as they get, I think. Imagine all of their other music being angry songs like Bob Dylan...

You should totally also post this under the Amazon/IMDb reviews thread, and post it on Amazon and IMDb giving it 5/5 stars and 10 out of 10 stars, respectively.

Second, we're talking about Spaghetti Westerns. Spaghetti Westerns were all filmed in Italy, which looks suspiciously like the American Old West of the 1860s... :mrgreen: Oh. I thought the only qualification was that the director had to be Italian. You must forgive me; the Western isn't exactly my ...

Stephen King best summed up life with his closing of the epic novel "The Stand" in the following words... Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for very long. And in the end, it always came round to the same place again. ...basically an oversimplification of the Book of Ecc...

This is a song I thought everyone might enjoy. It's by a band called The Mountain Goats, and it's written from the perspective of Toad in the original "Super Mario Bros." game. JnbYyTlz1Tw It's weird, but it's actually kind of touching and really sort of sweet. My favorite part is when he ...

I've said this before, but the reason I dislike the so-called "Nostalgia Critic" is not because of his review for Super Mario Bros. but because of the way he blatantly stretches the truth and outright lies for the sake of a joke. I have no problem with "vitriolic critics," but w...

His bit got old some time after Schwarzenegger month of last year.

Amazon Review/IMDb Review: (Amazon: 5/5 stars, IMDb: 10/10) My All-Time Favorite Movie! Super Mario Bros. is a movie with a troubled history. It initially was written as a fantasy movie by Tom S. Parker and Jim Jennewein with three foot Toad people and three foot Goombas, Hammer Bros, a turtle-shell...

I don't know about any of you, but I've been listening to a lot of KMFDM (Kein Mehrheit FÃ¼r Die Mitleid), lately. They're a German band that sounds like they're from Idaho. I recently ordered "Adios," which is widely regarded as one of their best albums. They're sort of a heavier, industr...

I have to be honest though, the brooding cyberpunk feel of the film (Whether fully realized/successful or not) is the very thing that makes this film stand out so completely from all other video game to film adaptions. It is unique. If this script had been made instead, it would automatically lose ...

You're insinuating that Waluigi is a character we should "love to hate," and that's what's "right" about him. No, I hate Waluigi because he represents bad writing, sloppy character design and corporate greed-- he has nothing to do with any of the Mario games, nor should he,Â but ...

There shouldn't be a character in a Mario game that raises my blood pressure to the point that I actually physically want to destroy a pixelated image on my television screen. Waluigi is bad, end of discussion. You all can go on whining about how great it is that Wario has a mentally challenged part...

Yeah, I made the mistake of trying to screen a four hour art-house film (Once Upon a Time in America) to my father and brother, who are more accustomed for shall we say... lighter material? Thankfully the night was saved when we watched "Fiddler on the Roof," which completely redeemed the ...

No, for the love of-- he's got a cape, he can fly, he shoots fire from his bare hands and for being an obese plumber in his mid-thirties he can perform incredible acrobatics with minimal of effort. He's a superhero!

1upmushroom wrote:Christmas vacation reference! XD

Yeah, except Waluigi totally has it coming. He's a good-for-nothing piece of crap that should have been flushed down the toilet when? A long time ago.

He's not that bad. Yes he is. Yes, he is. Waluigi should be put in a noose, which the other end of is tied to the back of a Mario Kart and we have a good old fashioned bad character drag. I want his blood to stain the courses from World 1-1 to World 8-4 so that all the inhabitants of the Mushroom K...

Dick Dastardly was my favorite racer! I'm sure I'm not the only one who always rooted for the poor guy. :) Dick Dastardly wasn't the half-thought-out evil doppleganger of another character on Wacky Races.

Yeah, I would just hold on to the 35MM print for now.

I also agree with the proposed anti-censorship rule. I want to be able to say all the hellish damned shit I want to.

Well, yeah-- now. Okay, nobody misbehave for the next four hours. I have stuff to do.

That's not a bad idea. I believe the PHPBBs do allow chat rooms, I know the old Amityville Horror Forum has one, and they've been running on PHPBB since the beginning. I'll pass the idea along to Redstar and Phlibbit.
