A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I can't really say much at the moment, but let's just say I have "plans" which I hope might draw some positive attention to the movie, and maybe direct people here. But honestly? Don't ask about it. All I'll say is that the movie's 18th anniversary is less than a week away, with its two-de...

I wouldn't want much changed, though I understand certain aspects of the world would have to be updated. There'd have to be cellphones and computers, for instance, which are the two things that really date the first movie (the payphone and devo machine console/display). Loopholes: 1) Wasn't Daisy a...

I haven't watched the movie since it aired a couple of months ago on Family, but I have been watching some of the trailers and other videos from the site lately. I've also downloaded the Making of videos, the wife and I will probably be watching those with dinner soon. And I plan to watch the movie ...

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Basically, Charles Martinet's voice is ok, but Capt. Lou will always be remembered more. I kind of doubt that. For one, most kids who have been introduced to and grown up with Mario from the mid-90's to today have probably never seen the Super Show, and know Martine...

Come to think of it, I thought Destructoid or someone had an updated "stand up for the Mario movie" article (I found one from 2007), but I can't seem to find it now. You're thinking of Why the Super Mario movie is an underappreciated masterpiece , which was a sarcastic piece, but is frequ...

io9 just posted this on Friday. Haven't read it yet, but at a glance, I see no mention of the site here. Still, good to see someone come to the movie's defense on a fairly prominent site. Come to think of it, I thought Destructoid or someone had an updated "stand up for the Mario movie" a...

Haven't had a chance to work with this since posting, but hopefully I'll get to do so soon... It's a good subject, but the article itself does lack some focus. I'd like to hear more about how the movie played into what was "known" about Mario at the time as well as why Nintendo would have ...

Plus Miyamoto saying Mario Bros. was in "New York sewers" or some-such, though that might have been as much an adjective as it was a specific backdrop. As far as I know, they've both officially gone with the Brooklyn thing and the Mushroom Kingdom bit... sometimes the former after the latt...

Well, Mario Mania is a tough one to beat, and Nintendo Power has just released the second edition of their Mario newsstand special issues...

I sort of touched on this in that other thread I made (I should really do something with that at some point), but it's pretty much like two different eras of Mario for me. And for the new era of Mario, I like Charles Martinet just fine. In fact, before there were any Mario cartoons, his voice for Ma...

I'd really have to see a "proof of concept" to see if it could work. As it is, I'm not sure "doing the Mario" is very compatible with "trusting the fungus." However, if the animation part continued in such a way that took cues from the movie... that would be interesting...

Something of a rough version of an article I'm looking at posting sometime. Just wanted to see what you guys thought. ------------------------------------------------------------- After watching and getting back into the Mario movie recently, a thought occurred to me: it seems like the film marked t...

Besides, Genesis carts don't fit very well in NES or Super NES cartridge slots.

Too bad the chances of getting a good, clean scan of that poster's art are probably between "slim" and "none." It looks awesome. Slim and none? Think again! http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/merchandise/other/audioposter/poster.png Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to save it, o...

Can't stop The Rock...

Well, that eBay listing is done for. I hope another might come along soon... any idea how common it is to find one? Amazon doesn't seem to have it...

My pleasure, and glad to hear there are fans taking a shine to the Twitter. I'd love to see what some of them had to say.

Tonight! And if you get the east and west versions of Family, then you have two chances to see it, three hours apart. EDIT: Well, I just finished watching, and I don't think anything was cut-- not even any of the Two Towers scenes. The part where Daisy joins the missing girls at first seemed to cut ...

I just tried to download the script myself... don't tell me we've lost it already...

Edit: Oh, whew... thank goodness for back-ups.

Scapelli as a chimp would have been a good mini-figure accessory, maybe for a Koopa figure.

In fairness, I had the date right. I just have no idea how many days there are in a week.

Okay, apparently, it was always the 16th. I just can't read a calendar, it seems, and no one ever told me.

So, guess what? Family isn't showing the movie tonight, after all.

No, instead, they moved it to next week.

Ah, I think that was the one I was looking at getting. :\

I thought I had seen this addressed somewhere around here before, but can't seem to find it now. I'm interested in picking up a novelization of the movie, and hearing about how extensively the movie was changed between when it was written and when the "idiots" (as Hoskins put it) threw it ...

Just checked out the costumes, and wow... those look awesome.

I'd love to have a Mario one for conventions, but I lack the kind of resources/workspace to make it.

...I don't suppose you do commissions...?

Yeah, that was my idea. Maybe spring-loaded or something... just so long as having the Stompers extended isn't the "default," as it were. A little switch or lock to keep them in would be good, even though that would probably wear down the springs.

Huh, I really don't remember the sprites...

As an aside, I tried to spread the good news through dropping a tip/link to my article to GoNintendo, but I guess this is one of those times where RMC just wasn't interested, or something. I tell you, given how much of pretty much EVERYTHING Nintendo (and even some stuff only barely related) he post...

...whoops. Well, crud. I even searched down the list of topics to see if anyone had touched on it-- wonder how I missed it?

Guess this one ought to be locked.

Looks like the commercial section isn't up and running yet, but I was wondering this anyway: Does anyone remember a commercial for the movie where they played the song "Jump (for my Love)"? Tried YouTube, but turned up zilch. And of course, like any good movie trailer which uses mainstream...

The biggest flaw I see is that they didn't just come out and say that their version should be a cartoon.

Then again, after reading how the whole thing should be shot in an angle like the side-scrolling games, I get the feeling this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, anyway. Practically satire.

Boom.

Note that the candy actually comes in a little plastic bag within the block.

Problem with some of those is that female figures can be a hard sell, especially today. Back then? Maaaaaaybe. They did it with April O'Neil, but I'm not sure many others would be able to attain that kind of status on the toy shelf. Daisy is possible, given her importance. Maybe Bertha, since she's....

Here's something I think would've been cool: Does anyone remember those cool Power Rangers toys (from the original series) where they would have the costume on, except for the head, and there would be a button on the back where you could press and their head would instantly switch into the helmet? ...

I was reading through the interviews yesterday when I came across the one for a newspaper which spoke with the directors of the SMB movie. The directors didn't say it, but the article mentioned the notion of a Super Mario Bros. theme park ride seeming inevitable following the movie. Of course, for o...

And hopefully I'll notice when it happens!

The movie should get a lot of new fans through this. It aired on the Family Channel last weekend (not sure which country/region) and Twitter was receiving tweets about it throughout the entire day from hundreds of people. It was a great opportunity to speak with people that had never seen or even h...

Too bad the chances of getting a good, clean scan of that poster's art are probably between "slim" and "none." It looks awesome.

Full story is here , but to be blunt: It's on Family.ca this Sunday at 9pm. In addition, it's cited as having a run time of 91 minutes, versus the DVD's 104 minutes, which suggests that despite being commercial free (I think, I know their shows are), it sounds like something(s) may have been cut. Ed...
