A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

That's beautiful.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I don't have better words for this. It's really hard to process this, as I am certain it is for everyone here.

Yeah, I woke up this morning to my phone ringing and I answered it and it was my father and he told me Bob Hoskins had passed. Long silence... I'm really floored. I mean, we knew he'd fallen into ill health in the last few years, but I didn't realize he had pneumonia, that can be a tough thing to fi...

I got a phone call this morning informing me of this most gloomy news. I'm still at a loss for words...

Our major advantage over movies like It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and the original 1973 The Wicker Man is, oddly enough, time. The amount of time that passed before they pieced back those movies is each over three decades, we've only been missing our footage for two-- a one decade difference doesn't...

Here, check out this brief interview with Sir Christopher Lee, star of recent blockbusters like The Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Star Wars prequels as well as cult classics like Horror of Dracula and Curse of Frankenstein (where in an odd move he plays the Monster and not the doctor!) talking a...

You should get Shout! Factory's Max Headroom TV series boxset. Wow, I just watched some clips of the show, it looks pretty awesome. I'll have to pick that box set up-- thanks for bringing that to my attention! I'm a big fan of Doctor Who (classic episodes and the new ones), and since the TV show ( ...

Oh my God, this is gonna be awesome.

I'd heard before that Rocky and Annabel created Max Headroom, and aside from the infamous Max Headroom Incident I really never took a look at the character until today. But tell me, who does he look like to you? cYdpOjletnc I think it's pretty obvious that they based Koopa's unique hairstyle after M...

I know this may be a silly question at this point, but is this being put on a BD-25 or a BD-50? It'd be a shame for it to only be on a BD-25, as they'd have to compress the video and that's cause artifacts to appear and damage image quality. Be a shame for compression to undo all the hard work bein...

Yeah, we've had a scan of this blurb for a couple years now. Just never found the time or place for it on the site. The probably got the information from an early press release. I wouldn't be surprised if it was for the Drain Man script. We've really got to get our hands on that draft. I'm consider...

That is interesting... I don't believe I know of any version beyond the Jennewein/Parker script that uses a different name than "Daisy" for the Princess (it was Hildegard/"Hildy" in the '91 draft, probably made for connotations with a similar fable about a princess). Then again, ...

Well, if we can't see the draft yet-- can we at least see the Lightmotive document Redstar mentioned? That'd be awesome.

We have spoken with editor Mark Goldblatt, as you might recall, and he seemed willing to re-edit the film if given the chance. Phlibbit and I working with him with the original scripts as our outline would be the most official re-cut possible. As long as it's overseen by someone involved with the m...

What I mean is, we didn't make the initial 2.15 hour cut. If anyone were to re-insert those scenes it should be the job of the person who had to edit it himself. I was more referencing that '"New" Super Mario Bros.' cut made awhile back by another user, which I do not and cannot approve of...

This movie looks amazing, and sadly I think it's the only new thing coming in 2014 I think looks worth watching...

In an ideal situation with all alternate and extended footage available I would say that we would cut about five minutes and re-add another five. Obviously, if there's some totally crazy backstory scenes or FX shots we would not hesitate to insert them if we could. Let's not delve into George Lucas...

Wow, good for you man! I didn't know Fairly Oddparents and Dexter's Lab were from the same people, but I guess the style is similar. Anyway, that's really cool.

The front page says "Updates for March 2013" instead of 2014. I just thought I'd bring that to light.

I thought Joe was the janitor at the beginning of Return to Nuke'em High Part 1, when he looks over sees the bloody mess on his cot and shrugs and says "Eh."

Just keeps getting better and better... I wonder if Troma is distributing the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie, considering Lloyd Kaufman was a guest on a recent episode of the web series. That seems like it'd be appropriate.

I've always thought that was because Pac Man is also a ghost but he just doesn't know it, yet.

Redstar wrote:No, it's real. It's listed as one of the scripts in the inventory document that Lightmotive sent me.

Can we see that? That sounds like something we'd all like to see a PDF of.

Everyone seems to forget that much of the promotional materials for the original Donkey Kong showed Mario as a tall, muscular man and DK himself as a realistic gorilla. Because of this I don't think it's fair to interpret the character in just one way. Hoskins' Mario is just as valid an interpretat...

So, is the Barry Morrow First Draft a myth, then? Because I've heard about it from multiple sources (IMDb, word of mouth, microfilm, etc), though we've yet to see it.

Okay, I think the Archive has almost everything script-wise regarding the movie, but there's one thing I rarely hear come up-- and that's the Barry Morrow penned very first draft of the screenplay. I'm primarily asking my fellow mods and the admins here, but do we have a copy of it? All I know about...

Now they're saying the new live action Ninja Turtles look like Goombas. I'm not sure I'd call them 'live action,' but if that's what counts as practical effects these days I guess I'll just film my next movie entirely in front of a green screen... But this just further proves my theory that the Sup...

Nothing ever made me 'think twice' about the movie-- I loved it from the start and am probably the only person in recorded history who still stands by the question: "Why can't the video-games be all gritty and cool with the cyberpunk stuff from that was in the movie?"

Toxic Avenger I'll give you as being awesome, Bloodsucking Freaks is bordering on Manos territory even for me.

This is the most well-kept secret in movie history, then. Every interview I've ever seen with Angus, Reggie, Michael and Don (even those interviews within the last two years) they've all said the same thing: " Phantasm V will never happen." If Don's not directing, he must be paying for the...

Whoa, whoosajigawut-- Phantasm 5 is actually happening?!

And since the people at RiffTrax somehow got permission to let others download the movie with their commentary in it, that means a portion of the proceeds go to the makers of the Super Mario Bros. movie, as well, so everybody wins! How do we know that's true? They offer video on demand stuff if the...

The preview is a bit lacking, yes. And there are moments in the film where they fall a little flat, but it may be because they're not used to a movie of the magnitude that is Super Mario Bros., which is saying something considering they did Manos: The Hands of Fate twenty years ago. And since the pe...

It's not just the audio, it's the video as well. For 10 bucks you get a DVD ISO to burn to disc, as well as a low, medium and high-rez MP4 and a file for 'classic' iPods that's also smaller as well as the option to stream the video. Five formats of the movie with the commentary for 10 dollars.

Will that cute little made for TV "making of" documentary be on the Blu-Ray, (the one on YouTube) but in quality not in the likeness of a football game taped on a Super Extended Play quality video home cassette?

I felt one of the best riffs in they had for it was when Mario and Luigi are crawling through the ventilation system of Koopa's Twin Towers and Mario kicks the vent open from the inside and Kevin, in the angriest, loudest, most stereotypical gruff Italian accent yells: "IT'S-A ME, MARIO!!!"

Indeed, I got it as soon as I heard it announced. For those of you unfamiliar with the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000 , it was a show about a man and his two robot friends who are held captive in a space movie theater orbiting Earth and are forced to watch terrible movies with the villain hop...

This morning I got an email from RiffTrax (the stars of cult TV's Mystery Science Theater 3000 ) and they announced the release of their most asked-for riff ever, our favorite movie, Super Mario Bros. ! If you haven't seen the riff, go buy it, it's 9.99 and you get the movie with their funny comment...

Or you can do what I do with American imports. Get a BD drive for your PC and set it as the appropriate region. Then simply HDMI from computer to TV. As someone from the UK, if you guys can get me in a visit or something with Second Sight, I'll travel there for preview/interview info. Yeah, I didn'...

well, this scene was confusing for me for a long time: why the Marios never recovered their hats droped by the force of the beams from the devo guns? and those guns just disapear from their hands, why? If I recall, they throw the guns down once they've defeated Koopa. As for the hats, I think those...

Happy birthday to our enigmatically named user Happy Russia, who turns 25, today!
