A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Were either of you even born in the 80s? I wasn't even born until late 1987, I have little to no recollection of the 1980s other than it was full of hair-feathering freaks who had poor taste in music.

Yeah, just go to their website in the above link and there's lots of pictures. It's a fairly upscale classy joint, looks like you might have to wear a tie to get in.

Super Mario Bros. was shortlisted for a special effects Oscar, but Disney lobbied hard to have A Nightmare Before Christmas entered into that category. As at the time only three films could be eligible per category this pushed Super Mario Bros. out. That's odd that they would go out on a limb for a...

Am I the only one who thinks SMB is sort of like Bizarro fiction, except not nearly as trashy? I do remember an idea I had when I was 11 called Space-Ific ocean which was about a submarine that finds a portal into space. Basically the R-rated goodness would mostly come from the aliens attacking the...

I didn't say it was "nominated" for an Oscar, I meant rather was it shortlisted for an Oscar nomination.

As some of you may already know, I'm an aspiring writer of the new literary wave called "bizarro" fiction. Basically, it's just really trashy horror and sci-fi thrown into absurdist philosophy and surreal imagery. Think of taking two completely unrelated things and putting them together......

Actually, the Sulphur Bottom was a massive airship owned by a wealthy guy in the second "Legends" game. The name of Rock and Roll's airship was the "Flutter."

So what has everyone done lately to reach out and contact Disney/distributors of the movie? I wrote a letter to Disney, but I still haven't heard back from them, so I'll be writing another letter soon. I'm also considering writing a physical letter in longhand and mailing it to Disney as that might ...

I'm sorry, but I have to bump this thread up. The fact that there's an actual River Cafe is too fascinating a topic to let die. Even though I doubt they're the same River Cafe as mentioned in the scripts and films, this is still too much of a coincidence to let go. I have no idea when I'll be gettin...

an interesting question is: Just how big is Dinohatton anyway? According to one of the early scripts, it's roughly the size of Manhattan, but Koopa says that because they're living in a "sub-dimension" the air 100 miles outside the city begins to thin, and that there's nothing out there b...

De-evolution is basically just mutation, anyway. It reverts life to a "simpler form," not necessarily the original form from with it came from. Like the Goombas are mutants who have been genetically altered to act in a primitive way-- loyal, lethal and stupid. Then again, the "Goomba&...

It would be very pointless to ship it to somebody who probably wouldn't return and it what not. I also recently moved to Washington state and stored a bunch of my stuff in Ohio. So as of now, I technicaly don't have it on me anymore. If I were you, I'd make sure it's kept in a cool, dry place while...

I've had a reoccurring dream for the last fifteen years now that I'm in line to see the movie at the theater, and someone or something always gets in my way before I can see the premiere of the "extended cut" of the film. Though there was one time that I actually got into the theater and t...

I'm one of the few people who doesn't have a problem with the Mario Brothers surname being "Mario." Because that's why they're the Super MARIO Brothers-- if their last name was Leone, they'd be the Super Leone Bros. And that just doesn't sound right.

There's also a lot of "lobby cards" available on eBay from time to time, lobby cards are basically just what you said-- high-rez photos and stills from the film used for promotion. Just go to eBay and look up "Super Mario Bros. Lobby Cards," you may want to throw in a "+1993...

And whoever said the "Super Mario Bros." movie wasn't an influential film is now kicking themselves. Because that's a Goomba if I've ever seen one. My only regret is that only me and the couple dozen other members on this board are going to recognize that. But, that's what makes us superio...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't "Super Mario Bros." shortlisted for Oscars for best set-design and best make-up? It lost to the other dinosaur movie that came out that year-- which I refuse to say the name of.

I love your choices, Serum. They're all just so fun and clever; Shore in particular would have made the film hilarious in his own way, just like Edson and Stevens did themselves. :) Yeah, that and I'm a little school-girl for Pauly Shore. I don't know what it is about "Bio-Dome" that make...

I'm not a particular fan of either the Eddie Murphy version or the Jerry Lewis version of "The Nutty Professor," but having spent much of my younger years being obese and having lost a lot of weight in the past few year, I can say I relate to Eddie Murphy's slightly more wicked portrayal o...

Good job, everyone! Keep up the good work!

A rival is not a carbon copy. Fat Cat Franklin is more of an original character than a Mario character, now, what with the WarioWare series. He doesn't even really wear the purple and gold anymore. Now he sort of dresses like a female drag queen. Which is fine, if you're into that sort of thing.

I like how Wario's dressed in disco garb. That's a nice touch.

I'm really digging this. A lot of these kinds of Mario "interpretations" I think are too "artsy" for art's sake, but what you've done here is really great. It's stylized just enough and it's not tasteless like a lot of the other stuff I've seen. Yeah, I definitely dig the style,...

I don't know why everyone has this preconceived notion that Mario and Princess Toadstool are an item. Mario is not dating Peach, no matter how heavily it's implied, it simply is not. Mario has been dating a girl named Pauline since 1981, when he rescued her from a rogue and untamed Donkey Kong. Now,...

This is all good, but it's more of an original story based on the video-game than it is based on the movie. However, keep writing-- I'd like to see where it goes.

Better, better, definitely better than what we have now. Now, see if you can put the logo of the title and the website name together into one image, have "The Movie Archive" in front of, but not totally covering the words "Mario Bros." Put it against a black background for refer...

Okay, go for it. Then report back here.

How about this one? http://www.dafont.com/street-writer.font Make it against a brick wall, covered in fungus or something. That'll look cool.

superwesleybros wrote:That's awesome. I think it was called the Hovership but there is another ship I'm thinking of called the Sulfur Bottom.

Yeah, I think that was the name of their ship. Or it was named after Doctor Barrel or whoever that old guy that Rock and Roll hung out with was.

superwesleybros wrote:Maybe have him visit classic locations like, Peach's Castle, Isle Delfino, and maybe THE REAL WORLD!!!

I think Mario's been living (in the current games canon) in the Mushroom Kingdom so long he's completely forgotten about Brooklyn, Pauline and Donkey Kong.

superwesleybros wrote:I'll sure try, what was the font used on the fungus *THE MOVIE ARCHIVE* portion?

It doesn't matter, use a crazy, urban, graffiti-like font for the new one. That'll fit into the whole "high-tech squalor" theme of the movie. Just make sure it's covered in fungus.

I wrote a screenplay once for a Mega Man movie, based on the "Mega Man Legends" series canon. It's on a disk somewhere, if I can find it, I'll upload it for everyone to read. But my adaptation (much like my fan-screenplay for "Super Mario Bros.") got extremely existential and ph...

Stanley is a real overlooked opportunity for a new game, I'd like a platformer adventure like SM64 and DK64 starring Stanley. Thank you. Yes, a new game starring Mario's overlooked cousin would be interesting. It might be a sort of "run and shoot" game, since he's got that extermination d...

That's actually very good, I'll pass it along to Phlibbit and Redstar. Now Wesley, my fingers are crossed here, but I'm really hoping you can do some of that photo-manipulation magic for the "THE MOVIE ARCHIVE" logo, which is supposed to look like the fungus from the movie, but looks more ...

Yeah, that's all great what with the guy from Transformers voicing Mario and whatever, but this is a topic about Stanley the Bugman, so can we please try to talk about Stanley the Bugman and his relationship to Mario? You're all going off the deep end about the original voice of Mario, seriously-- s...

Tim Curry's been in his share of trashy films, like that animated "Christmas Carol" where he voiced Scrooge and Whoopi Goldberg voiced... some other character. I would love to see a live-action "Christmas Carol" with Tim Curry as Scrooge, though.

The Nolan movies do nothing for me. The only good part is the Tumbler/batmobile. ledger was a horrid joker, he's nothing like any of the jokers I've ever seen. To me Arkham Asylum/city and the animated series is way better than the movies. I did like Two Face's makeup design though. My only gripe w...

That's actually quite good. The idea of Mario's "extra lives" being an endless supply of clones is like something out of a Phillip K. Dick novel. I also like the artwork.
