A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

The Super Mario Brothers Super Show was the most outrageously ridiculous thing ever in terms of Mario franchise adaptations, so personally I feel it deserves a good mocking.

I never thought of The Super Mario Brothers Super Show as one of Nintendo's 'downs,' considering it ran for several years and was followed by two further incarnations, The Adventures of Super Mario Brothers 3 and The Super Mario World. They're all out on DVD in their entirety, except maybe the latter.

Wait, that's a recent picture? At least the movie is getting some attention from its HQ...

Yeah, that's all well and good, but... it's Affleck. I'm pretty sure Kevin Smith has some sort of involvement with Affleck getting the role. I know that Good Will Hunting was actually written by Kevin Smith, but he's so enamored with Affleck that he put Affleck's name on it and let him take the Osca...

I'm not a big Affleck fan.

You know, personally I prefer the original design sprites-- they have an extremely original looking quality. The second set (which looks like its from one of the GBA games or something) I don't like at all, the third set (the SMB3 style) are okay, but overall, I think you really had something going ...

Happy birthday to my fellow Moderator, Roareye, who turns 27, today.

Wait, this gives me an idea. Why don't we start a Kickstarter in order to buy the rights of the original master print of the Super Mario Bros. movie (unused footage included) and make a professional Blu-Ray release? It's become painfully obvious that Disney isn't going to do anything for us unless w...

Which I find a far more unsettling look, perfect for a dictator.

Parker Bennett and Terry Runte's original script actually utilized such a plot twist, which would have been very fun. What they wrote saw Mario and Luigi scaling the tower and bursting into the top floor, only to find themselves in Koopa's propaganda department. They then went to the roof of the to...

Moderator's Note: Above thread was merged with this one.

We've covered all that in excruciating detail-- but it's good to know that you know what the filmmakers were trying to do, which means they did their job right!

Wow. That looks like it sucks.

Well, this is interesting, I'll give you that-- but we need to find out if there's any factual evidence behind the concept. If there is, it could lead an entire team of indie programmers to the unused sprites and textures and backgrounds which would make designing the game much easier and more accur...

Interesting, we've speculated what a game of the movie would be like for a long time, now-- but this is the first I've ever heard of an actual unreleased game. Do you have the original link your friend sent you?

Stay tuned.

You've piqued my interest, I'll keep my eyes open.

The point is that "Mike" is played by the same actor doing several similar roles.

Crap, the East Coast screening starts in three minutes and I'm an hour from New York and three hours from getting in and out of Port Authority... Damn. I'm really going to have to prep for 2018's 25th Anniversary Screening or I'm not going to get to make it to an event until sometime in 2023.

I don't know all the details, myself but from what my higher-ups say, they're working on it.

You know, usually I'd be sitting here reading everyone's thoughts about Nintendo games on the message board dedicated to the Super Mario Bros . movie much to my chagrin, but after reading half the comments about E3 on YouTube, all I have to say this time is... http://i41.tinypic.com/nv8bk4.png

You're very right, Serum. While our chances of anything happening are still low I can say that I have been in touch with Roland JoffÃ© and he has assured me that he will look into any surviving deleted scenes for a re-cut. If anyone has an original print of the film, it's either him (Roland Joffe,)...

You know, we're getting a lot of attention lately. Between John Leguizamo's 20th anniversary message, Samantha Mathis speaking later this month at the New York screening and all the press coverage on various sites and the comic-- somebody's bound to take notice eventually. I'm starting to think if w...

uhhhh did anyone else have an issue logging in and or checking messages lately? I've been trying to get in but my antivirus and web browsers stopped me saying there was malware ahead and it was going to cause damage to my computer....sooo...yeah if anyone was wondering why I've been gone so long, t...

I don't know. I had to read the book in high school and I didn't care for it. The movie was okay, but all in all I thought the book was a little... wordy. And coming from me, that's saying something. I mean, it had a glossary in the back because no one knew what a "Mentat" was. While the ...

The heart plugs weren't in the book, but the Baron's depravity was. I believe he was known to sexually assault many slaves, young boys in particular. He had even molested Feyd Rautha on numerous occasions. Okay, so half of that scene was sort of in the book. But where did the heart plugs come from?...

Okay, a few major points. :lol: Also, I'm pretty sure that whole scene with the "heart plugs" wasn't in the book, either. Remember, with boy-servant with the flower? Damn, that's an uncomfortable scene. I know Harkonnen was evil, but I didn't think he was a registered sex offender. :shock:

Redstar wrote:I'm a huge fan of the Dune series and did enjoy the Lynch adaptation, although it got a few story points wrong.

A few? I don't remember the yelling at the rocks to make them explode being in the book.

I think Redstar meant a full on COMIC adaption. I think we all know an actual film adaptation has as much a chance as Jodorowskys Dune had when it comes to making a film. Have you ever seen the original Dune movie from 1984? It was made by David Lynch, maker of bizarrely visceral movies like Eraser...

Phlibbit should totally post John Leguizamo's greeting as a video response!

I think your work is significant enough that a mockup comic cover would be worth exploring. Just something that explores the themes and tone of your screenplay, even if you don't intend on following through on a full adaptation. Ha, a full adaptation of my vision would cost half a billion dollars a...

Ugh, I'm not entirely sure this isn't the doing of some sort of group like Anonymous or something. I mean, what if that guy we had to ban (twice, now) got all vindictive on us and got all his boys together and they're trying to shoot us down? Bah, it's three in the morning, I'm thinking too hard, su...

I and a few other people are having the same issue. We have no idea the cause. Hopefully we can figure it out soon. Yeah, also, for a few hours, upon trying to access this forum and the main site I was redirected to a site dedicated the sequel comic. As far as the "Reported Attack Site," ...

Neither, it's still incomplete, at least in accordance to me.

It probably wouldn't be all that entertaining, given it was a rough draft and it didn't hold everything that I conveyed in the outline, maybe about fifty percent of my notes made it into the rough draft, which is why we never published it on the site.

Yeah, I've thought about it-- but in the end, I changed so much of both the story of the Super Mario Bros . movie and the games and even the unused scripts for the movies that I think I'd might as well make something completely new out of all of this. I mean, looking back at most of my notes, the on...

Holy crap, we're going to be getting new members soon, I think.

Wow, this was great to see. I'm amazed we actually hooked him for a greeting like this. Also, when is the New York screening? I can't seem to find the date.
