A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

The only problem with it is you're working on it almost 20 years too late. If you were able to do this back in 1990/91, then Bob, John, and Dennis would today have nothing but fond memories of their roles, and Super Mario Bros. would have won an Oscar for Best Screenplay. Wait, what? Why would the ...

Here's some more from the beginning of the outline I'm writing... The figure is dressed in a red-leather overcoat and a cheap eighties-suit underneath, his hair is white, in dreadlocks, and he has sunglasses masking his eyes. He's not paying attention to the Mario Bros, though. He's pressing a butto...

Thanks, I'll begin writing more either tonight or tomorrow, it's been an absolutely draining day.

Perhaps I should take a break and list my credentials. First, I'm good friends with a one Bret Urick , writer of The Wall Analysis at http://www.thewallanalysis.com . We've been contacting each other through emails for a few years with ideas about Pink Floyd's album, and last year I mentioned Evang...

I'm glad to hear that!

I'm working on more soon, I have a few errands to run today, but I should be able to get more done, soon.

Prime Evil wrote:Oh, you'll see what I'm getting at tomorrow, when I post the synopses.

Did I mention that there will be costumes involved?

Is this a cosplay thing?

I'm sorry, I've just never seen the point in AMVs, putting songs to anime and trying to make some sort of connection.

Actually, somebody showed me the whole 'The Dark Side of the Moon,' put to 'The Wizard of Oz,' and I just didn't see it.

The term Apophenia comes to mind.

Hey, everybody! I'm starting to work on the Story Outline, which will become the basis for the screenplay. I thought I'd give you a little taste, with the outline I've written of the opening scene... The film opens with a quote: â€œSometimes being a brother is better than being a superhero.â€ ~ Mar...

Why, oh, why can I practically smell the "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAND!!!!" gag from ten miles away?

Ha, I was waiting for that.

1upmushroom wrote:No. That was Jim Cunnings. Is THIS what you were talking about? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whjVucqw-wo

Yeah I'm thinking of that one.

He voiced Dr. Robotnik on The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM). Strangely, his Robotnik voice is exactly what I'd imagine Bowser to sound like. Sadly, he died in 2005 or so... Was he the one on the Sonic show that was more Sci-Fi based, he had the most evil-sounding voice! It was great,...

Personally, I think you should have the late, lamented Long John Baldry as Koopa. Seriously, whenever I imagine Bowser/Koopa, I imagine Baldry's voice coming out of the creature's mouth (can you say " I HATE THAT PLUMBEEEEERRRRRRR !!!!!"?) And throw in Rick Moranis or even Eddie Deezen as...

Welcome to the board!

Yeah, now no-one can say I wasn't productive today.
I wrote the rest of the character profiles, and I spent nine hours cleaning my room.

What a friggin' day... I just spent the last nine and a half hours cleaning my room. I think it's clean, first I picked up every piece of trash in the room and the closet, then put all the stuff that wasn't trash but was on the floor outside the room, then I took all the furniture out, vacuumed, sha...

And finally, here is Spike's profile...now onto other parts of story outlining... SPIKE NAME: Spike Koopa AGE: 33 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 5'11 WEIGHT: 235lbs HAIR: White EYES: Red BIO: Spike Koopa, like his cousins, has a history clouded in vaguely defined darkness. However, what is known of Spike is that...

Here's Iggy's profile, enjoy. IGGY NAME: Iggy Koopa AGE: 29 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 200lbs HAIR: White EYES: Red BIO: Very little is known about Iggy Koopa, or his cousin, Spike. They were born in the Dark World, to relatives of Koopa himself, but the exact details of his history are largely ...

Alright, here's the character I can't believe I forgot to profile... TOAD NAME: â€œPrime Ministerâ€ Toad AGE: 37 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 6'0 WEIGHT: 240lbs HAIR: Gray EYES: Gray BIO: Born sometime in 1956-57, most of Toad's personal history records were destroyed when Koopa had taken over the Mushroom Ki...

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I left the most important side character out! Now that Musikfest is winding down, I can start concentrating on this a little more...look for the character profiles of Iggy, Spike and the character I'm about to write...Toad. Stay tuned.

1upmushroom wrote:More Profiles are on the way!

See what I mean with the doing of the concept art? It can be fun, but distracting.

I'm still working on writing stuff, but lately due to a mix of new psychiatric-meds and the stupid Musikfest being about a block from my house it's hard to concentrate on anything other than the humidity and the extremely loud polka music they play from 10AM to 11PM that can be heard literally, mile...

*surprise* I have this. The reason it's longer is because there's a special effects featurette before the film starts! Wahooo! It's actually really cool and has some...interesting footage not seen anywhere else. I've been meaning to get the thing converted so I can post it. That would be awesome......

Interesting...the running time on the tape is 114 minutes, whereas the regular movie runs only 103 minutes...I wonder what that's about...?

1upmushroom wrote:So. You making more profiles?

Yeah, I'm going to work on some today, hopefully, I kind of got side-tracked doing a conceptual poster, like I promised myself I wouldn't...
Check it out...

This is just me speaking from experience, but it's usually best to get all the writing for the outlines/profiles/screenplay done before doing any concept art, for two reasons: One, the concept art is fun to do, but it's distracting and can take you way off track of your writing. Two, if you have all...

Second one, the original NES one.

First of all he's supposed to be tall. And second, did you read the above post? nI said "This story wraps around A REAL YOUNG Mario and Luigi". Also I know Luigi's not HUGE, so I'll shorten him down to 6'9. 6'9 is still like, four, five inches than the average American, but, it's your sto...

Danny DeVito sort of fits those requirements...of course, he was set to play Mario in the movie, but backed out at the last minute.

Alright. I TOO have decided to add profiles for the film. And no I'm not stealing Merrittheferrit's idea. lol Dude, you gotta chill out, if you're writing a script, it's a good idea to flesh out your characters anyway. Writing character profiles is a very good way to get to know whoever it is that'...

Yeah, it's in the elevator scene, isn't it?

Here's Pauline's profile... PAULINE NAME: Pauline Scapelli AGE: 33 SEX: Female HEIGHT: 5'6 WEIGHT: 140lbs HAIR: Auburn EYES: Blue BIO: Born the day after her father was killed in 1960, Pauline is Anthony Scapelli's little sister. She was raised by her brother, Anthony and her mother, Daniella in Bro...

Alright, sorry for the delay, but now I'm back on track writing character profiles, here's our favorite mafia boss, Anthony Scapelli... SCAPELLI NAME: Anthony Scapelli AGE: 55 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 6'2 WEIGHT: 155lbs HAIR: Hazel EYES: Brown BIO: Born in Brooklyn in 1938 to the Family Scapelli, Anthony w...

1upmushroom wrote:So. You working on another profile?

Yeah, I'm currently writing Anthony Scapelli's profile, but I've got a few other hectic things going on at the moment that it's gonna take a few hours to get some more profiles written.

Phlibbit wrote:I think seven koopalings all at once is way too much, especially for an introductory/reboot film for a new franchise. The koopalings could take up an entire movie by themselves.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was thinking, maybe in a sequel or something.

1upmushroom wrote:So I guess all seven koopaling's are out are they? Just Iggy and Spike?

That's up in the air at the moment, I'll have to see what direction this particular draft takes...

John Luguizamo, That would be a BIG tribute or reference to the '93 film! :D I also liked the many references to the original "Donkey Kong" games like Pauline and most of all "Stanley" 'cuz I never thought you knew about him. But why'd ya make him a rough cellmate. Also Queen Pe...

Koopa's profile... KOOPA NAME: â€œKingâ€ Koopa AGE: 55 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 6'1 WEIGHT: 160lbs HAIR: Blond EYES: Gray BIO: â€œKingâ€ Koopa was born sometime in 1938 or 1939, though the exact details of his birth are shrouded in mystery. Little is known of his parents, other than that they lived in th...

Lowl!

It was around tha...

Another character profile...also I want to remind everyone that the reason they're birthdays are so long ago is because the movie takes place in an alternate history, in 1993. LUIGI NAME: Luigi Mario AGE: 20 SEX: Male HEIGHT: 5'10 WEIGHT: 135lbs HAIR: Black EYES: Blue BIO: Luigi Mario was born April...
