A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I've been something of an indie-filmmaker for awhile, but I'm about to write and direct a feature-length, shot on video movie called The Legend of Annabel Jankel, which might have some themes you'll find familiar. It will be shot on a budget of somewhere between 500 and 1500 dollars, and right now, ...

We need to find the long lost producer's cut of this movie, as well.
It's out there. I know that somewhere there exists a much longer
cut of the movie, and I say 'producer's' cut because the directors of
"Super Mario Bros" were fired halfway through production of the film.

Aw, crap. At least we were all prepared for it. I'm gonna have to go back and see some of the Hopper movies I haven't yet seen, like Blue Velvet. Also see "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" (the one from the 80s) and "Mad Dog Morgan." He was a fine actor who made even terrible movi...

Sad news, today. Dennis Hopper, who portrayed the nefarious King Koopa in "Super Mario Bros," died today, after a long battle with prostate cancer.

Yet another exciting page, I'm on a roll! Then we cut back to the outside of the statue, where Mario and Luigi are on some sort of shooting range out back with Toad, who is putting on his own pair of the fingerless gloves. His are white, and have a needle-point of a rose on fire stitched into them. ...

Here's another page of the treatment. I don't mean to toot my own horn or anything, but this is probably some of the best dialogue I've ever written in this scene, between Mario and Luigi, when Mario gives Luigi the pep talk, and Luigi is reluctant and Mario anoints themselves as the "SUPER&quo...

Here's a crucial part of the story... Now we cut to a woman in a red dress, about thirty three years old, sitting in a large holding cell with several other women. She looks mad as a hornet, this is PAULINE. Two Goombas are guarding the only exit out of the room. Pauline stands up and starts pacing....

Yet another part of the script... The Marios drive off into the desert, the crazies follow and suddenly, we cut to Koopa, who is walking down a long hallway, accompanied by two Goombas. He's now in a large garage, lights are flashing and alarms are blaring. Suddenly, he crawls into the back of what ...

Finally! Here's what happens next, for all of you who are still reading. Cut back to Daisy and Koopa, Koopa is about to explain the de-evolution process. â€œWell, it's...â€ Suddenly, the butler runs in the room, panicked. â€œKing Koopa, King Koopa! We have a situation in DEVO-1!â€ Koopa looks up, ...

Okay, because of budgetary reasons, I had to narrow down my purchase to three movies. Here's what I ordered from Amazon... Cannibal! The Musical : 13th Anniversary 2-Disc Tromasterpiece Edition Mad Dog Morgan : 2-Disc Tromasterpiece Edition, starring Dennis Hopper Tromeo & Juliet : 10th Annivers...

I just saw Cannibal! The Musical on Netflix Streaming, and I have to say, it's the best Troma film I've seen! Expect a review sometime soon...

I guess being a writer I pay more attention to story and character development than I do to the actual detail of the images on screen.
Oh, I might also pick up Killer Condom: The Rubber That Rubs You Out, it looks pretty awesome. I think it's all in German, though...

I'm going to be picking up some new Troma DVDs in a few weeks, here are the ones I'm thinking of getting... Definitely getting...

Some of the wrost news I've heard in a while. Troma had sold the rights or whatever to make a big budget Toxic Avenger movie. Sources are here http://www.deadline.com/2010/04/the-toxic-avenger-mops-up-in-redo-deal/#more-30807 and here http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/19724 . This is the worst ...

I recently had dinner with a friend of mine, we were talking about the movie and he said that he'd seen it in theaters twice. Once in the regular theater, the second in a drive-in theater, and both times, they had the now-lost "de-evolution" sequence where Koopa obliterates some guy into ...

I'm going to have to watch it again after work, I'm almost certain it's not on my DVD.

I think I just found an inconsistency between the VHS and the DVD version of the movie... In the VHS, at the end, when Luigi and Daisy kiss, Mario makes an offbeat comment: She's trying to tell you she can't leave here until she knows where she belongs. And if you loved her, you'd understand that, a...

My favorite quotes from Star Fox. "Do a barrel roll!" "Try the summer saults!" "Use the boost to get through! " "You okay Fox?" "I'll do my best, Andross won't have his way with me." My favorites. "How's the Land-Master, fox?" To which I a...

I grew up with the Nintendo 64, and a few months ago I apparently favorited all these videos on YouTube of some guy getting an incredibly high score on the first level. I don't think this one's 'tool assisted,' but some are. However, I'd never seen anyone do this, and I thought it was pretty awesome...

No one in their right mind should support the motion capture technique I dunno, the actors who sign on to do these motion-capture things seem to endorse it. It makes "hitting their marks" easier, or so I've heard. I think the technology's getting better, though, and the characters may not...

I also heard that he's doing another Roger Rabbit using the technology. Unbelievable. Just, mind-boggling how incredibly stupid he is. No one in their right mind should support the motion capture technique, because it looks like walking, talking corpses. I have never seen anything more clearly in m...

It was announced that Robert Zemeckis ( Back to the Future ) has plans to release a remake from the animated movie Yellow Submarine on 3-D, using the motion capture; so I was thinking if the 3-D will keep the same essence from the original movie. What do you think, guys? It's a good idea, or bad id...

Okay, so I was thinking about this the other day, in the Terminator movies, why don't the machines simply send a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah Connor as a baby? It seems pretty obvious, right? Without Sarah Connor, there can be no John Connor and without John Connor there can be no resistan...

No, I intend for it to be on a grid.

Thanks, I just thought it was a funny obscure reference. Anyway, here's the next page! Another cut, this time to a huge dining hall, with a large, oaken table under a chandelier. Koopa is sitting at one end of the table, Daisy at the other. A man in a tuxedo walks up to the middle of the table. â€œW...

Here's the next page, also the first part of the 'Jack Thompson' scene and the precursor to the big 'De-Evolution' scene. Enjoy! Now we cut to the Marios, who are seated on folding chairs, hands cuffed behind their backs in black and white striped prison jumpsuits. They're in some sort of interrogat...

And, here's yet another page! Slam-cut to the Mario Bros, wandering around what looks like a nightmarish Times Square, everyone pushy, shoving them around, it's like pre-Guiliani New York on crack. A man at a food kiosk puts some fried bugs on sticks on buns, the Bros pass him, he offers them some. ...

Screw it, I'm continuing with this. Here's the long awaited next page! Cut to a holding cell/hotel room suite, where we see Daisy's face, she appears to be lying on a bed, her eyes open, slowly. She looks around drowsily, the camera pulls out a bit to reveal she's been redressed into a purple gown a...

I always thought that Luigi's pouch was made of Nylon or something similar. Including rainbow colored belt. Hence the newer "themed" tools, belt Luigi has. And the older, "out dated, old leather" belt/tools mario had. Experience > Greenhorn Yeah, I got to agree with you, I alway...

RE: Merritt Have you ever seen Blades , the Jaws parody of a possessed lawnmower? I mean to check that one out...it's got that kind of Pythonesque vibe to it. No, but it sounds good... I'm looking to get more Troma DVDs, but I'm low on cash lately. The ones I really want to see are... Surf Nazis Mu...

Well, about two weeks ago, I picked up watching Professional Wrestling after a fairly long break from watching it. I think I'd stopped watching it around late 2005, early 2006, maybe a bit later than that, but when I picked up on it the other week, I was shocked at how much the two shows have change...

On the subject of wardrobe in the movie, did anyone notice that at the beginning of the movie, Luigi is wearing a white t-shirt with a ying-yang on it, then when they go to dinner, it's the same t-shirt, only black?

I saw Sherlock Holmes on New Years Eve, it was okay, it reminded me a lot of Wild Wild West. Good way or bad way? Honestly, I don't really see what the problem with Wild Wild West is. Sure, the giant spider (thank you, Jon Peters) is a bit much, but it's...passable. Well, given that Wild Wild West ...
