A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Hey folks. Since our recent post on March 21 about Super Mario Bros. showing up in the Best Buy ad, I've been thinking: Exactly how popular IS the Super Mario Bros. movie? Well, that's what I want to find out. This site has been saying it's a cult classic for years, and it's time to show everyone th...

Pretty cool!

I really like the art style for this one. Also makes you realize how the idea of a "goomba" exactly from the games wouldn't really work in this film.

All right guys, Here's a recipe you all are really going to want to make. Why, you ask? Well--the answer will become clear after tonight's update goes live. No Peek Chicken and Rice 3/4 cup uncooked regular rice 1-10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup 1 env. Lipton onion soup mix 2 and 1/4 cup water...

All right--got my full impressions on the video: Your setup for the segment was perfect--the "clean slate" approach. It's definitely the best thing to do when trying to discuss the film with anyone that's just heard that it's bad without any context. So glad you gave props to David L. Snyd...

We've got an exclusive, unannounced interview with Robert Rothbard--the film's uncredited production manager. Lots of great info here on the production side of things, including some locations that were being considered for use in the film prior to the selection of the cement factory.

All right, folks, we're really back now. I can't think of a better way to cap off March with a couple of great items: * We've got an exclusive, unannounced interview with Robert Rothbard --the film's uncredited production manager. Lots of great info here on the production side of things, including s...

Thanks for posting your review here on the forums, Cecil! Frankly, it's an honor for you to have chosen Super Mario Bros. as the featured film for your 50th anniversary episode. I haven't yet watched the video yet myself, but I wanted to get a first post in. Okay, I couldn't help it. I took a peek a...

That's what I mean: Hopper wasn't as hammy as he usually is. :P You know, you're right. Unlike something like Waterworld , Hopper's performance as Koopa really is more restrained than some of his other roles. IMO I think that makes the character all the more interesting. Still, I think there are so...

I personally haven't had any problems and haven't been changing things in the admin panel. I currently have it set up to where it'll retain your login information for up to 6 hours before you have to log in again.

Anyone else having problems?

Here are a couple of little things I've noticed lately, involving some cool signage/newspaper headlines: http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/forumstuff/smb_signs_1.png ^Look at the sign behind Toad. "Danger--Electric Shock. GO FOR IT" http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/forumstuff/...

Oh. My. God.

Even the 1990s Captain America film gets an extended director's cut/re-release!?

You're totally right that this being done at an opportune time related to the new Captain America movie. Such a shame for SMB to be ignored--when all the signs are there for a better version.

This is a great post, Redstar. Mario Party is one of those niche Mario franchises that largely gets overlooked. Honestly, I'd probably play any of the MP games over the sports ones. Except Mario Tennis on the N64--that was awesome. I've probably put the most overall playtime on the original Mario Pa...

We're back! Well, sorta. A couple of things I want to bring up today: * The following is from Best Buy's sales ad, released on the weekend of March 12-14: http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/bestbuy_1.png That's right--do not adjust your monitors. Let's zoom in for some clarific...

I love Ghostbusters as well. And I really don't get why people rag on GBII. I liked it. In fact, I say "IT'S A RIVER OF SLIME" whenever possible. And I'm not even joking.

HAHAHA! Another one converted. Most of the games in that series are good, but yeah--can't stand the voices.

IMO, having a new SMB movie with "hip" stars would completely ruin it for me. Since I'm so attached to the movie we have I can't really see anyone else in the roles. But if a new film was made, and the casting was as inspired as the original and it was "story first," I could *pro...

^What Redstar said. I'm interested to see what you asked. On a related note, when I went to the Game Developers' Conference a few weeks ago, I gave a Nintendo HR rep my card and told her about the website, etc. She acted very interested and said she would try to get us an interview with someone if s...

Welcome to the Super Mario Bros. movie community. Glad to have you.

Like Redstar said, feel free to add to any discussion on the boards you like. No conversation too old

You do know what website this is, right?

Welcome.

"Farewell" by Alan Silvestri iprnjZqgu_A One of these scenes (as I described in the post above) is at the end of the film in when Mario and Luigi leave Daisy behind in Dinohattan. Since the scene with Lance Henriksen as "The King" was added in late in production as a reshoot, so...

Okay, so I was listening to Alan Silvestri's wonderful score soundtrack to the film, and I started noticing some inconsistencies between some of the tracks and how they're presented in the film. Now, this happens with a lot of films for a number of reasons. Say, there's a cut that needs to be made t...

I also found Page 18 curious: "Hey, Bertha, remember me?" Mario asked. Soon he had Bertha talking and laughing. She never even noticed when he carefully stole the crystal." That's totally not Bertha's character, though it could be from an early, early take in the same mold as the odd...

Since this has been uploaded, I thought it would be good to have a thread for this particularly interesting piece of merchandise.

Since we've had a constant stream of updates, I figured I'd see everyone's thoughts on the updates so far.

Everyone satisfied? Good variety? Any requests for stuff you'd like to see on the site?

I loved doing the stream. It was just so great getting to show our thoughts on the SMB film and to get people to know all of the interesting little tidbits. Gosh. "Flubber/Barney Koopa." Just saying that aloud makes me chuckle. And it's a really creepy drawing. The other two are great as w...

Some really great videos headline this week's update, and in three different categories to boot! * In Media: Advertisements we have a video of the 1993 Summer CES where a live, in-person Goomba was present to promote the film. * In Media: Trailers is another video from the same Summer CES--an intro/...

I was playing around a bit and came up with this simple concept for a Blu-ray special edition: http://www.smbmovie.com/smbarchive/pics/forumstuff/smb_BD.png Like I said, it's basic--but I think that's all we need. The awesome poster art (sans the clunky neon orange quotes) and the "special edit...

^I think the reason you don't see mention of the score in a lot of the early promo materials like the "making of" or the articles is that film scores aren't typically completed until a month or two before the film is actually released--quite a while after those "making of" movies...

Great update. This may seem smaller than what we're used to, but Phlibbit spent at least 3 hours scanning and editing the coloring book pages alone. I'm surprised how well we keep up this weekly schedule. :P It took forever. Mainly because last week I scanned all of the coloring book pages and then...

Ah, thanks for giving the date. That makes total sense.

For it being a few months before the film's release, I wonder if the show ran any other SMB movie clips?

Holy crap, what a great find--and first post. There's more than just that deleted scene/dialogue in there. Let me give the rundown: First of all, start the clip at 8:15. It's a kid talking to the "3D talking Mario head," before Charles Martinet took over--so the voice is more of the Brookl...

I love, love, love Captain Lou's Mario voice. It 100% encapsulates that "Mario Mania" era of the character just as good as the games themselves. It's a Brooklyn-style voice but also humble, heroic, and upbeat all at the same time. Absolutely perfect.
