A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Happy birthday to selinaalkin, who turns 23, today!

So Redstar, did I help convince you why Spaghetti Westerns are amazing? If not, go to your local video store and rent "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," or "Once Upon a Time in the West," which are widely regarded as the best of the Spaghetti Westerns.

I loved, loved, LOVED Tim Curry in Clue, Home Alone 2, and IT! He is just so hilarious in those roles! The producers of remaking IT better damn well THINK of having Tim Curry reprise his role as Pennywise. I think we said all we needed to say with the original "IT." Must we update a story...

I think Stephen King said it best when he said "I am the literary equivalent to a Big Mac and fries." Of course, I did like the book "Pet Sematary," which I find to be a genuinely scary story-- on paper. The movie wasn't good. I also liked the first book in the "Dark Tower&q...

Well, it's almost 8AM on the big day. I'm the only one in my house that's awake yet. But I've decided to go see "Mission Impossible IV: Ghost Protocol" tonight instead of "Sherlock Holmes II: A Game of Shadows," as the former is getting scathing reviews from both professional cri...

I don't see why this would be forbidden here, as it has to do with the games. Besides, I love hacks and mods, too. I just bought a copy of "Super Mario World" for the SNES and I have to beat that before playing any hacks, though. But hacks are always fascinating to watch and see how people...

I highly recommend checking out the early scripts. Not only are they fascinating reads, but each heavily influenced Serum's own screenplay in their own way. Yeah, of course more than half of my initial draft of the fan-screenplay took place in New York. If they gave me the money to make the movie i...

The 7/17/91 script is in no sense of the word 'dark.' I'm sorry, but that's where I draw the line. It's a conservatively written children's film, no darkness added.

Welcome to the only board on the net (that I'm aware of) dedicated to the greatest movie ever made!

Westerns...I saw the one with Gene Hackman and Russell Crowe in it a while ago--can't think of what it was called. It's not Unforgiven , but something else. I thought it was marvelous, if only for the depth of character and sheer emotion. For a pastiche of westerns, Back to the Future III is really...

[Except that is totally false. Nintendo decided NOT to assist SEGA with getting out of financial difficulty. Sonic is in Nintendo games, now. Sega is Nintendo. There will not be a new system from what used to be Sega. This conversation can serve no further purpose. Nor did it serve any purpose to b...

I think at this point its become more of a semantics argument, in my opinion as I've stated before I believe super heroes are of comic books. The early heroes of mythology and folklore do indeed fit the description of a super hero but I don't think that Hercules in his day or when I assumed he was ...

There is no more "Nintendo Versus Sega," anymore. They're the same company now, remember? After the failure of the Dreamcast, they went bankrupt and Nintendo bailed them out in exchange for overtaking their company, programmers and business in general and and making Sonic a Nintendo charac...

I love a variety of music, yes including videogame music (well this should go without saying at this site!). But in most cases, when I buy a new CD I usually save it for a special occasion - like to fit the happy mood, y'know? Oh how I can hardly ever wait to test out those special CDs :mrgreen: Oh...

I remember "Manos: The Hands of Fate," which is spanish for "Hands: The Hands of Fate." It was featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000 and it became hugely popular afterwards because people were obsessed with how awful it was.

I'm not saying whether Mario is a super hero or not, but super heroes are certainly not a concept restricted to comic books. That's exactly what I've been saying this whole time, even though a lot of superheroes come from comic-books, they don't all come from comic-books, and I hold Mario as a supe...

Yeah, that was one of the things that never sat well with me. After being fungus for so long, it would probably be near-impossible to maintain a human form even after re-evolution.

He listed it under "General Talk" so it's okay.

I didn't care for generations as it killed off my favorite captain, James T. Kirk. William Shatner wrote a book that continued the story after "Generations," called "The Return" in which Spock revives Kirk and he goes on some new adventures-- I read it many years ago, I forget m...

I like Star Trek, a lot. I don't know if I'm a "Trekkie" or a "Trekker" (I don't even know the difference.) but personally, I'm a fan of the 'Next Generation,' and Patrick Stewart in general. My favorite of the movies are II, III, IV, Generations and First Contact. My favorite of...

No, the "Galaxy" series are the goofiest of the series. He dresses up in a bumblebee outfit and... just go watch a playthrough on GameAnyone.com. If you think about it, People would have found Mario dressing up as a raccoon and frog silly back when SMB3 came out. Yeah, except that was in ...

The problem with the Star Wars films and revisiting them is that they are not actually Lucas' work. They're the product of contributions from his wife and friends in the film industry (including directors famous in their own right). Because of them, the films became much more strong and character-d...

Why is the fantasy script the most popular out of all the scripts we've posted here? The 2/19/92 Parker Bennett/Terry Runte script is far superior.

Serum, you're absolutely brilliant. Phlibbit and I have worked on a continuation of the film in our privates discussions that incorporates just about the same elements that you have. You're really building excitement in the most logical way possible. Great minds (and true fans) think alike. :P Real...

I started to lose faith in the Mario games at sunshine, something about cleaning up pollution and the fact that I was being blamed for it just felt overly preachy. I may also be the only person on the planet who didn't like Galaxy, even if it had a different Mario voice that didn't sound like a tee...

As much as I like him I don't consider Mario a super hero. Super heroes are often defined by comic books, such as Bat Man and Super Man. These are comic book super heroes, in current pop culture when you say super hero to someone these are the faces that appear in their minds not Mario. And its not...

Redstar wrote:Nice list of gifts! I'm really surprised you didn't already have Super Mario World...

I had it many years ago, but it was lost in a flood. I've since moved to the highest point of elevation from the river possible in my area. As far as "Doom 64," it's the real "Doom III."

Prime Evil wrote:"Banzai Bills?" Are these an improvement over the usual Bullet Bills? (And yes, "Banzai" is the word you're looking for, like "Buckaroo Banzai." )

Banzai Bills are smaller Bullet Bills.

That's a very narrow-minded view, super-heroes can come from anywhere, they don't just have to be from comic-books. Why do so many people think superheroes have to come from the pages of a graphic novel?

But I remember an issue of Nintendo Power with a piece of fan art of Mario Party in the letters section, entitled "Mario Party 7: Rainbow Suicide Dreams" I think they're well past 7 now a days.. Yeah, they're up to eight or nine, but the "fan art" you're thinking of was from an ...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Happy belated Christmas to all. I worship Pan-- the goat god. I'm just kidding. :mrgreen: Actually, I got a bunch of stuff I wanted. Let's go down the list... A FamiCom Twin Top-Loader NES/SNES Console to play older video-games on. Battletoads, Castlevania and Metroid for the NES/F...

Sega spent nearly thousands of money on crappy add-ons to increase the Genesis life-span which never happened because they were fastly made with no real effort. Nintendo is just as guilty of releasing pointless peripherals for their systems, as well. The "Super GameBoy" and the "Sate...

Yeah, Jay's quite possibly the only person who is a bigger fan of the movie than I am. That's saying something!

You do not need to be super dark and serious to appeal to older folks. Some of the best movies with great appeal among children and adults are light and fun in addition to being serious in some instances. I would rather produce movies appealing to folks of all ages. Not only would they be successfu...

Mario500 wrote:^The idea of a "super dark and serious" Mario movie is a frightening thought in my mind.

It shouldn't be. They've been doing gritty remakes with everything, lately-- like I said, just look at the new Batman movies.

Like Prime Evil, I'd like to see it said or shown what actually makes this concept "noir." You've described some basic details behind a plot, but nothing really thematic or atmospheric to suggest that the concept is in any way noir . Like "darker and edgier," it's not a label th...

I don't really listen to music outside of my car radio to and from work, but I do have a list of artists I typically enjoy for one reason or another. I'll provide that list below; feel free to comment on any of them and I'll elaborate my interest. Beasty Boys Blood Drunk Bad Press Big Time Rush Che...

"Noir" to me implies a very high standard of cinema-- movies like "Casablanca," or even "Citizen Kane," I'd even go so far as to call Alfred Hitchcock's original "Psycho" a "noir film," even "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" has elements of the rem...

Brother! Welcome to the board! I know you're sitting right next to me on your laptop as I write this, but welcome to our humble board dedicated to the greatest movie ever put on the silver screen!
