A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It certainly does! That also got me thinking about the original Super Mario Land--didn't Mario shoot "bullets" in that one?

My vote will always be for Danny Wells. And as this is an anniversary cartoon, it'd be nostalgic.

The universe would probably explode.

No plans for a Facebook, Twitter, or any of that nonsense.

I've been considering trying an RSS feed, though.

* We've got two more upcoming interviews, both of which are open for your questions! o First with Dave Nelson, who designed and built the mechanical workings of the Yoshi puppet. Forum thread . o And next with Scott Mactavish, who was a lizard-headed Goomba in some scenes and he also did some specia...

UPDATE--1/24/11--Scott's interview is now up! You can find it here . Yet another upcoming interview, guys! Get some questions in! Scott Mactavish--Goomba/Stunts Here's a description provided by Scott himself: Regarding the scenes, I was a lizard head Goomba and was in most scenes with the lizard he...

Welcome! It's great to see someone rediscovering the SMB film after all these years. I'd love to see your reactions to some of the content on the site, such as the deleted scenes or early draft scripts. And I know how it feels about the action figures. I once left my "Sky Escape Joker" act...

Just wanted to update everyone on David's interview. I conducted it yesterday (10/4), and it was really, really, good. In fact, at this time, it's without a doubt our longest interview ever. He was able to speak on many aspects of the production and he was even kind enough to watch the film (for the...

I was just rewatching this, and I found something kind of cool.

Notice at about 11:17 into part I. Look at the shirt John Fifer is wearing.

UPDATE: 11/30/10: Dave's interview is now online. You can find it here . Yet another upcoming interview, guys! Get some questions in! Dave Nelson--Yoshi Engineer Dave designed and built the mechanical workings of the Yoshi puppet. He should have worked directly with Patrick Tatopolous on general de...

^Now that is a valid argument. However, when you think about what that means, she's just the "Mrs." companion to the name that follows. So, if she was Mrs. John Doe, she would be the wife of John Doe. If she was Mrs. John Doe, the Fourth (or, Mrs. John Doe IV), she would be the wife of Joh...

Wasn't Mojo's interview just great? His responses both about his experience with the movie and his thoughts about it now were incredibly articulated.

Great! Keep it up! You had this section on page 19 repeated three times: DAISY I've been interested in this stuff as long as I can remember. I'm just drawn to it. It's weird, really. Just tell me if this is boring. She stops, angling her flashlight up to a STRATA OF ROCK, running along the WALL... I...

LOL that's great that she Tweeted our interview with her. I was hoping she'd get a kick out of the photos I chose

I've posted an update at the top of the page with another link I found

Great to hear from you, Mark!

And LOL at your memories of having to repaint them...a lot...

Any idea why foam rubber was chosen for the stunt boots, over another, less time-intensive process with less upkeep? Was there no other alternative?

Surprise! Redstar has done it again--we've snagged an exclusive interview with Andrea Powell, who was a Brooklyn Girl in the film (the one in high heels and smoked cigarettes). Here's the link to the interview: http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/specials/interviews/5_AndreaPowell_9-16-10.html What d...

* Remember those two "upcoming mystery updates" I've been talking about? Well, one of them is done--an exclusive interview with actress Andrea Powell , who was one of the Brooklyn Girls! * And while we're on the subject of Andrea Powell, we've also got her Actress Profile up and ready. * D...

Yeah--the first half is definitely the best part.

And I totally agree that the "making of" pre-trailer thing is the best "official" movie trailer. It's the combination of the music, Koopa turning in the rain, and "This Aint' No Game."

Those are absolutely wonderful questions. They should really help add some depth to the interview and should take it in an interesting direction that only David can provide.

And at this point with all the interviews we're getting, that's a great thing!

I did a reworking of what UE5000's done so far--got it in quotes and bold page numbers to break it up a bit. I also fixed any blatant misspellings as I found them--I left in stuff I didn't know to change or inflections or onomatopoeia and stuff like that.

If you haven't noticed already, all the interview threads have been moved from this forum to a whole new section.

Visit this post for more info.

Since we've had this enormous wealth of great exclusive interviews for the site, Redstar and I have decided that they're important enough to have their own sub-forum. I'm moving all the old interview threads from the "Site/Forum Updates" section into this one, and all future interviews wil...

Good question. And from my research, there are lots of answers to that question...

Thanks for getting this thing started. Got a suggestion: perhaps when you post these, you could put each "page" in a quotes box, with the page number right before it in bold? That would help break up some of the length. And, you could post the entire thing so far at the top of the page as ...

UPDATE 4/3/11--Richard's interview is now live! Click HERE to read it! All right, folks! This one certainly needs no further introductions: We're getting an exclusive interview with Richard Edson (Spike)! As always, get some good questions in. I can't wait to hear what he has to say about his role ...

There's a slight similarity to the film Fanboys , though the problem with that movie is it tackled a film everyone knows about and by now no one cares about. That type of fanbase is simply overblown. Super Mario Bros. is just mysterious and cult enough to have a much more interesting plot. I got th...

Yeah! I thought it was a nice addition myself. The photo was kind of bland after the initial scan, but a little Photoshop post-processing really made it shine. I'm also enjoying the genesis of our Actor Profiles section. Totally something I'd have loved to do myself--but I would've never gotten arou...

* We're keeping up our pace of great interviews--we have two more upcoming ones, and they both feature pretty prominent members of the film's production. As always, there are dedicated forums for these where you can ask your own potential questions. The deadline for these questions is Saturday, Sept...

He was the Art Director on Blade Runner. Perhaps a good thing to ask would be if there were plans for anything major to be built that got cut both early on and at the last second. If we had access to the Ed Solomon shooting script, we may have a better idea of what was planned that far down the line...

This would probably be a good topic to get into--to ask him if the FX for that scene were completed. If so, that means that part was at least finished.

UPDATE 9/25/12: I did another pass on the interview and edited things for clarity and flow (mostly my questions and responses). David also sent me a new photo of the "Cadillac Ranch"-inspired set he was talking about. I replaced the photo that was there originally. UPDATE 9/23/12 : The in...

We've got yet another exciting interview in the works--this time with Chris Woods , the film's FX Supervisor. Here's what he had to say about the things he did on the film: I was the Visual Effects Supervisor, Designer and Producer, as well as being the 2nd Unit director for Visual Effects. In addit...

Another interesting thing to note is that at this point, we're unsure as to when Silvestri was brought on board as the composer. Now, if he was talking to Rocky and Annabel about how to go about the score, I can see the reasoning why the game themes aren't in there. But, if he wasn't brought in unti...

I love the themes created though and maybe the Mario stuff would have sounded too forced and worked against the tone the movie went for. That's probably it right there. If there were more "explicit" Mario tunes, it would have likely took you out of the film's world too much and been even ...

This differs per film, but a lot of times the interviews are done in advance. Lots of times the score is done during post-production and the production company might not have a composer nailed down until late in production. I'd imagine this could have been the case here. And is the score album incom...

Oh wow, that's a great find! That totally makes sense and just makes the movie that much better with that in mind.

Those are great! Keep it up--I can't wait to see more.

I would imagine that you could make a pretty cool Devo chamber out of Legos...

Are you a Disney rep trying to make this thing die quickly? :D To true fans of the film, it is a big deal. Like I said before, this wasn't as big of a deal in 2003 when widescreen TVs and anamorphic transfers weren't so prevalant. It's non-anamorphic. If you do have a widescreen TV, you have to stre...

I shouldn't even be giving this kind of drivel the spotlight, but I just gotta: http://movies.ign.com/articles/111/1119827p1.html Thoughts/Comments: Standard article by someone that doesn't know how films work and how to analyze them.
