A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Is there anything significant on it or is it just a regular old poster for the movie? I'm just curious. No, nothing of any worldly significance, however, the fact that it came from Elle (the woman who owned the theater) means a lot to me. I saw my first movie there when I was five years old, and on...

I think now that 19 years have passed...He probably wouldn't mind so much. And now sadly he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and has retired from acting. My only hope is that he will start his own website and not only sell his autograph but pay to have fans ship something to him they wan...

Not exactly a creepypasta, per se, but an amazing simulation of one... VHS , Official Selection of Sundance 2012 trailer . Basically just Marble Hornets: The Motion Picture. But as far as "found footage" movies go, this one looks genuinely scary, like, the first scary one since the origina...

We wish him and his family all the best and hope for proper treatment in this time of miracles. Remember him for the man he was as he always will be that man. This changes nothing about who he is or what he has to offer in life. Please also drop any idea towards interviewing him on the film. It's o...

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that this thread is a war zone or the fact that it's for all for not seeing how Serum isn't that much of a videogame fan anymore. :lol: I'm really not. I suck at video-games and every time I play them I lose. The only games I can really play are the old "H...

FULL ARTICLE HERE. Bob Hoskins is to retire from acting following a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease last autumn, it was announced on Wednesday. A statement, issued on Hoskins' behalf, said: "He wishes to thank all the great and brilliant people he has worked with over the years, and all of hi...

C'est magnifique! You're officially a better producer than Paul WS Anderson.

I'm sorry, I keep forgetting that. I guess I meant to say "I beg to differ." I think "concur" is French in origin, which was never a strongpoint for me.

Similar to my thread about the politics of Super Mario Bros., I wanted to talk about the spiritual messages in the movie, as well. From the opening scene, we're bombarded with science. Evolution and such, until we come to 1973 Brooklyn, when the Queen leaves Daisy on the steps of a Catholic church. ...

I understand this is something that has been asked more than once, but what is the story behind the "de-evolution" scene being originally in the theatricle cut and then removed for future DVD/VHS releases...you know...there is a strange theory I have. Battlefield Earth was re-cut for home...

Settle down, Beavis.

I'm not really a video-gamer. To me, the main men of video-games were the early days of Nintendo, Atari and the guys at Id Software. Other than that, I really don't play anything.

I can't believe no one, not even Serum said they watched the SMBMOVIE on this thread. I thought that was pretty obvious. That's because we've all seen it. Saying that we watched "Super Mario Bros." in this thread would be like saying "I went to the bathroom at point during the day.&q...

I went to a see "The Amazing Spider-Man," but I walked out on it about 20 minutes into the movie. First of all, it was "Twilight" with Spider-Man, second, when he gets his powers, he's in the basketball court at the high school and he's playing like a pro, which is really pissing...

Eh, we're getting off topic...

My bad.

They promptly admitted they were wrong and did what any sensible human being would do in that situation-- procede to round up every unsold copy of that game and bury it in the middle of the desert.

I don't know, I don't even really like the Mario games that much, I just like the movie.

Sega SYSTEMS are dead. They still make video games. But either way Sonic is my childhood hero. And Nintendo is just sh!tting all over him. Sonic can be an amazing asset to Nintendo but they just turned him into a Novelty. If a company that once made major consoles for video-games to played on doesn...

Eh, the movie has aged like a fine wine. The cartoon show has aged like milk.

Sega's dead, dude. So is Atari. They've both been absorbed by the three major players-- Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. Which is a shame-- I've always been a big supporter of Atari. Sega, eh, not so much, but Atari pretty much created the video-game as we know it today and deserves to be still be maki...

You know, in retrospect-- I think "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" had less to do with the games than the movie...

I use the VHS often, hell I don't even bother with DVD anymore unless I can't find the movie on VHS. Besides, VHS copies are cheaper, most of the movies I got at Goodwill were like 99 cents, hell they used to be 69 cents! All right, just as long as you know the film in a VHS tape is going to comple...

I have the DVD, CD, VHS and a framed print of the theatrical poster. Why sell the DVD? No one uses VHS, anymore.

My favorite song in the movie is definitely "I Would Stop the World," by Charles and Eddie.

Welcome to the board! It's always nice to have another member.

No, I was just being immature and idiotic. I don't remember much of those years, as I've blocked them from my memory as they were filled with abuse.

I'm not really a big fan of fanfics, unless they're something creative like a fan screenplay based on source material. Other than that, I shy away from it... I remember when fanfiction.net was brand new, I was one of the first people banned from their message boards! :mrgreen: Of course, I was aroun...

A credit or debit card linked to a bank account with enough money in it, or a PayPal account with the sufficient funds.

I wish they would release the full scene on BR or DVD someday, see how much dancing Mario did lol. I'm not sure the full song was used in the movie, I think, from the sounds of it, it was a demo that was probably going to be rerecorded and put in the end credits after "Almost Unreal" fini...

Oh, really? Clearly you haven't seen Gremlins!

I did, and I didn't feel all that threatened. Now, those dwarves from "Phantasm," that's scary stuff. But as far as the gremlins in "Gremlins" go... meh.

Are we talking about fan-fiction, here? Because fan-fiction can range from great to terrible, if you want proof of terrible, just read "My Immortal," which is a weird Harry Potter fanfic...

PresidentKingKoopa wrote:I heard bob didnt hate it until after his son showed him the game

Actually, Hoskins didn't know it was based on a video-game until his son showed him the game.

Well, it's interesting you would say that. Roger Avary, who won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay for "Pulp Fiction" and later went on to write the adaptation of "Silent Hill" for the big screen wrote a screenplay for a fifth Phantasm film entitled "Phantasm Ends," w...

Phantasm: The disorder of a delusional mind. 1. A figment of the imagination; an illusion or apparition. 2. A Phantom. With the upcoming return of director Don Coscarelli and his adaptation of David Wong's award winning novel "John Dies at the End," I thought now would be a good time to t...

Well, it was the 1990s. We were into the whole "dystopia" thing back then. People wanted to see gritty stuff, much as they do now, but didn't between the periods of 1999 and 2004. Why do you keep asking stuff about the movie's technical aspects? I thought you were interested in the on-set ...

Despite the back of the videos describing the city as "Dinohattan," it's never actually called that in the movie. However, Koopa does refer to the city as a "mushroom kingdom." And Big Bertha was not a fish because there isn't enough water in the alternate dimension and furthermo...

Look, your friend is obviously not a fan of the movie. It's his loss. Koopa was a "human" because it's much more practical and the Goombas looked "retarded" because the word "Goomba" is Italian for "idiot."

I think they may have just been putting on happy faces, because as we all know they've talked about what a terrible experience it was.

IbanezJFS wrote:I have a theory to this but why where the goombas like 7 feet tall?

Probably because in reference pictures to the original, 8-bit "Super Mario Bros." when Mario or Luigi don't have a "super mushroom" and are standing next to a Goomba sprite, they look small in comparison.
