A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Welcome, keep up the good work!

Welcome to the board! I'm amazed at how many people are joining! Tell your friends, tell them to tell their friends and so on and so forth, forever!

Welcome aboard! I am the Mushroom Pope, the Mario Movie Zealot, I am Serum and I hope you help spread the word about this awe-inspiring film.

Hello and welcome to the SMB Archive forums. It's not enough to have this film with deleted scenes as extras-- we need an extended cut! I am doing, as should you, everything in my power to see this dream become a reality. Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the board! I encourage you to do everything in your power to promote the movie and get the word out there and help people recognize this movie of movies.

Welcome, and as the self-proclaimed "Pope" of the Mario Brothers movie, let me just say that it's good to have another member on board to promote and enthuse about the single greatest movie ever made.

Welcome to the forum dedicated to promoting the greatest movie ever made. Spread the word! We must build an army and you are now a recruit-- when you go to Walmart or Target and see a copy of the film-- take all the copies and put them in front of other movies so more people will buy it. That's what...

If this comes back to New York next year for the big two-oh, I'd be more than happy to give a presentation in front of a crowd. I have a lot to say about this movie. A lot that needs to be heard. People don't just owe this movie respect, they owe it awe.

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/136/8/e/super_mario_brothers__subcon_by_ambientzero-d4zzyte.jpg I like it, but is that really Jack Black as Mario? It looks more like the guy who played Alan the sword shop owner in "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie," he even has the turtleneck......

We're up to four stars? That's a perfect rating according to Leonard Maltin standards-- it's good, but not good enough. We need to push for five. I also implore people to write about how they wish to see an extended cut of the film in their review, as well as a Blu-Ray edition of the movie for the u...

The Dick Clement & Ian la Frenais script was all about politics. Rocky and Annabel, being British, were very passionate about government and had quite a lot to say about both democracy and monarchy and how either could easily turn towards fascism. I'd highly recommend giving their take a read. ...

Or, if we go the route of the Batman films, it could be "Super Mario Bros (INSERT VERB HERE)." Like, "The Super Mario Bros. Return," or in the case of the new Batman, "Rise."

I know there's a John Belushi action figure for the "Blues Brothers" movie that might make a good Mario template.

You still working on that bizarro story you mentioned a year or two ago? I think it'd be a real treat to read if it gets made. I gave up on bizarro fiction, I wrote a book and sent it to the publisher but they didn't publish it on the grounds that it was "too strange," which is saying som...

This was indeed a running theme in the earlier scripts in which citizens could "vote" for different persona of Koopa who would inevitably rule the same regardless. The scene you mention may or may not have been filmed, though in the end it seems like one of the few examples of cut footage...

I like the glittery art and concept, but the use of the same logo (Mario saluting and Luigi giving the thumbs up) is a little tiresome. I saw a really good one awhile back, I think you might have made it, actually, which was a picture of an 8-bit mushroom that was emblazoned in steel, sort of like t...

I swear there's a scene where you can see Koopa's personal maintenance men outside his window overlooking the slums-- they're dressed in what would later become Mario and Luigi's jumpsuits. I'll try to get a picture of it...

Luigi/Mario and Daisy did have some additional interaction leading up to their arrival in the parallel world, though not much of it was very significant. I doubt they filmed anything for that particular scene. I don't know if I'd call it "insignificant," as the alternate meeting of Daisy ...

From what I remember there was supposedly a deleted scene which featured Koopa and political marketing advisor. Apparently, the entire scene revealed that the public would get to vote different "sides" of Koopa but would still end up voting for Koopa. Though that's just a vague that possi...

Nice artwork, you should do one reenacting the scene where Koopa is taunting what's left of the King.

Nothing, keep driving. There's a good video that reenacts the fight scene between Keanu Reeves and a million Hugo Weavings with Mario and Luigi sprites somewhere on YouTube...

Oh wait, here it is.

With election day just a few months away, I thought now would be a good time to bring up the political themes of "Super Mario Bros." In the games, Koopa is referred to as a "King," however, in his portrayal by Dennis Hopper (a lifetime Republican) he is " President Koopa.&qu...

...I'm a man of wealth and taste. I am the biggest fan of the "Super Mario Bros." movie there is. No, not just a fan, but an evangelist. Now, some of you know me, and my behavior before I went away was... less than polite. I apologize to anyone I hurt, I wasn't myself-- I won't go into man...

The climax is good, but the third act itself is what falls apart and really needed reworking. Not only is it badly written but it also has very little in common with the first and second acts in terms of theme and tone. The third act is confusing, albiet good, if not a little too ambitious. It prob...

We will get an extended release, and soon. I know I've been away for awhile, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to do everything in my power to see this movie as it was meant to be seen-- in it's original form. We will rise and show the world how powerful this movie is and how it forever changed th...

It's not ready, yet. It will be, but not yet. I've got some new ideas, and I need to revise. But it's coming.

I don't think I like your attitude, Dreadnought. Serum's come home.

Happy birthday, AngeloThomas! You always manage to contribute something meaningful to the forum.

Luigis Mansion is pretty dark itself for being a kids game. Like Luigi hanging himself, they say its a glitch but that to me is not a glitch, as its clearly his body still and a rope is visible above him. It was supposed to even darker but Nintendo had to lighten it up a bit. There's even hints in ...

I finally gave this draft of the script a read since I'm on a Mario thing at the moment. It really is a very good version of the film. I'd have loved to see this filmed. And yeah they could have touched up on the third act. The third act is what sold it to me! I thought this had the strongest final...

It sounds more like an original work than a crossover between the two (widely gapped) genres. I mean, making a cyberpunk Mario movie is one thing-- but making a Mario thing based on an X-rated grindhouse flick is another. I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything, but I don't think it sounds l...

Are we going to have Luigi cutting up Daisy with a chainsaw? Or Peach getting, um... well, you know... by rogue trees? Have you actually seen the original 1979 "Evil Dead?" It's horrifying. It's along the lines of the original "Exorcist." Seriously, I don't think an "Evil De...

Good job, everyone! Keep up the good work!

I'm taking the time to heavily revise the script, adding another 25-100 pages to it, revising certain dialogue and changing the ending (which was changed from the outline). I thought my initial draft would be uploaded to the site by now, but since that seems to be a ways off, it looks like I have ti...

Happy birthday to TrustTheFungus who turns 26, today.

I just realized this screenplay is twenty years old, today. Times flies, and this script has aged like a fine red wine.

Redstar wrote:The proportions are really off.

Really? It looks pretty much exactly like the one in the original picture to me. Of course, I'm not a visually artistic person so I can't really say if the proportions are off, but it looks fine to me.

Good Lord, these are all terrible ideas. Once a movie is completed, you don't go back and alter it unless you're adding more scenes cut from the initial production to do a director's cut of some sort. You never, under any moral circumstances should ever add something to the movie twenty years later ...

Hmm, you know I really am into this genre. Though I am dissapointed, none of these are at the library. I have been thinking of some bizarro ideas though I'm afraid they'll just come of as weird stories and not complete surreal bizarro fiction. Any tips you can give? First of all, you can ask your l...

You can paint rust any color you want, it's still rust.
