A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/7504/rdcamazingheadrevolutio.png We have a couple points that we want to share this week: * We are now past the first week of our three week membership drive contest. Activity has picked up immensely with new members joining everyday. There's still plenty of time ...

I think it does too. I LOVE Return to Oz. It has this really great dark yet comedic tone that I think captures the spirit of the books much, MUCH better than the 1939 film.

I'm pretty sure Koopa is using parafin wax to clean his hands.

Welcome! Always great to have a new member. Feel free to post on old topics if you find something to contribute, or make some new ones!

Attention Super Mario Bros. fans! As our nationwide screenings are coming to a close we can now more actively focus on the site. We feel that now is the right time to hold the first of many 'membership drive' contests in an effort to expand our community. The screenings were an excellent way of brin...

"You've been violated, girly man!" I remember that very vividly. Leguizamo was certainly the best part of Spawn , and while I don't remember a lot of specifics about the film I remember really enjoying his performance. I'll have to watch it again sometime to see what I think of it now. I a...

Looks like Mario won't be making an appearance in the film. Here's a tweet from Quint from Ain't it Cool News who attended the film's panel at SDCC:

Mario a no go for Wreck-It Ralph, but tons of Sonic, Pac-Man, Streetfighter, Qbert characters. Bowser made the cut, though

I totally agree--this artwork is fantastic! This style really captures both the film's sensibility with video game proportions. I always enjoy different interpretations of Koopa and you've got this great balance between what we saw in the film with hints of the structure of Bowser's face from the ga...

While Intrada would be the ideal company to re-release Silvestri's score )as they have worked with him in the past), they don't have the rights to do so. I emailed them last November about the possibility of an expanded release of the score and they responded that it would be very difficult because ...

These 19th anniversary screenings have been such a hit this summer that we're thrilled to announce that they are going to continue into the fall: * On August 3 & 4 the film will screen at midnight at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas, Texas. Pre-order your tickets HERE . * On October 5 & 6 the fi...

* Site staff Steven Applebaum was recently featured on a special episode of Sequelcast and had a great discussion about the film. That podcast was a success so the Sequelcast guys have also recorded a brand new SequelCommentary podcast about the film. Give it a listen!

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/nuartHeader2.png As promised, we have some new content from our 19th anniversary screenings , as well as some new announcements: * We now have video content from our May 25th screening from the NuArt in Los Angeles! Enjoy this 12-minute recap...

I'm not a big fan of Waluigi, but he's not nearly on the same level of awful that Bowser Jr. is on.

If you're in Texas, you're in luck. The film is coming to Dallas in August :) I think the sound mix on the DVD is poor because I'm suspecting that the US DVD is a transfer of what was done for the Laserdisc version. The DVD says it has 5.1 Digital Surround, but on my dad's amazing home theater setup...

That shot you're talking about is because some shots in widescreen films don't translate well to fullscreen when there are two characters in a shot on the extreme ends of the frame. When that happens you'll see an artificial camera shift to what the focus of that scene is. It's usually pretty notice...

I highly doubt that would happen. I mean, they're witches. I think it's more likely to have the old witches training new witches or something. Plus I think that article said the original actresses likely wouldn't return.

I recently picked up Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy . It definitely has this kind of cult/sleeper hit feel to it because of how quirky it is and the fact that it's exclusively on the 3DS. It's a rhythm game featuring the best Final Fantasy music, which is great in and of itself, but the game also makes ...

Since our discussion/recommendations topics for the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Gamecube have been pretty popular, I figured I'd go ahead and create a thread for the Nintendo 3DS, to cover games that fall outside the scope of the Mario games that have topics in other forums. Of course, you can discuss ...

The first Mario Party is pretty important because it essentially created that kind of party game genre. In that way it's much like Super Mario Kart--it's not the best in the series but it introduced us to the idea of that kind of game and it's fun now for nostalgia's sake. I remember how different a...

I do agree with Redstar's statement that Hocus Pocus is an interesting companion to Super Mario Bros. If a sequel does get made (especially a theatrical one) I'll be very impressed. If it can happen to Hocus Pocus, hopefully it can eventually happen to Super Mario Bros. as well

Making it look like a fake screenshot is just genius.

The only problem is that I want to see that whole scene animated

But yeah, there are lots of really interesting shots like that in the film! I love this artwork!

I'm really digging this art style. The film lends itself surprisingly well to more "game-like" interpretations. Can't wait to see more!

Cool! Stick around! Make some posts on whatever topics you want.

That Bowser looks pretty much like his current design to me.

Totally, same here. Just being thorough

Well, I tried to get a copy of MP3 off eBay but you're right--the prices are ridiculous. Don't want to pay over $30 for it, really. However, I'm pretty sure that one of my colleagues at work has a copy of this. I will see if I can borrow it and give it a go. Still, I'll only be able to play with my ...

I enjoyed this commentary quite a bit. It was good to hear mostly positive things about the film. The movie has some problems overall, but when you look at individual pieces (characters, sets, makeup, animatronics, etc) there's really a lot to like. Still, I have to be my nitpicky self and correct s...

I always enjoy stuff like this. Maybe I should take some of them and make a spoof site from the early 2000s for April Fools or something. Wait, did I just type that out loud?

I really enjoyed listening to this as well. Steven did a great job representing the site, and he was also able to speak on a wide variety of SMB-related topics and fill in a lot of important pieces to many misconceptions people have about the film. I'm happy that Sequelcast is the first podcast we'v...

I too saw Men in Black 3 and enjoyed it far more than I expected. Having the time-travel element take them into the 1950s-60s gave them a great opportunity to showcase the kinds of old-school alien designs popular from that time period. And the ending wasn't too shabby either. While on vacation toda...

Sounds pretty bad. Have you read Sam Hamm's original draft of "Batman II" (which eventually became Batman Returns)? It's horrible.

^That's probably not the reason, FYI. I think it's that the target demographic for this film (kids aged 5-12) are most likely to purchase the game on those platforms. The Wii will probably be the biggest seller with DS close behind. Also developing the game on the Xbox 360 and PS3 opens up a bigger ...

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/screeningHeader4.png Our final 19th anniversary screenings in Wilmington, NC and Seattle, WA are only a few days away! : * Our Wilmington, NC screening will be on Thursday, June 21 at Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 PM .

We've been getting some stellar coverage on these two events in particular: Wilmington Star-News: â€˜Super Mario Bros.â€™ special screening June 21 at Thalian Hall Wilmington Star-News: Locally filmed â€˜Super Mario Brosâ€™ to have anniversary screening Wilmington Star-News: â€˜Super Mario Bros.â€™ ...

You're exactly right. Without that fun shape it would be an extremely mediocre piece not really worth picking up. But the fact that it's shaped like a wrench puts it right up there with the promo plunger.

A lot of people give GBII a bad rap, but I love it. I think with the right script and the right attitude, a GBIII could be amazing. It already seems like people like Murray aren't just going to let a mediocre film be made, so that's probably a good thing.

Just when you thought the search for obscure merchandise was over, take a look at what I just picked up off of eBay:

It's a promo pencil not for the movie, but specifically for this Audio Poster Pack.

I agree. The Paper Mario series has evolved into its own franchise, and was pretty far removed from SMRPG anyway. The M&L series is extremely good for what it is, although I feel like the story gets in the way sometimes and the gameplay gets repetitive on occasion.

Plumber alert: Some Paper Mario discussion was moved to our Paper Mario Series thread.

1up, your opinion is completely valid. It's just my opinion that Super Paper Mario is bullcrap. Overall, I think what bothered me the most is that the game got so wrapped up in its own "Paper Mario" style and story structure that they let the "game" part of it fall by the wayside...
