A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I worked on mystery update a lot this morning. I'm off to work for just a bit, but when I come back, it shouldn't take long at all to get it finished!

Okay, I'm 80% done. I gotta get some sleep. I can very, very safely say that this thing will be up TODAY 8/17. Stay tuned, folks.

I'm still chugging along on this thing, right now. Redstar is helping me stay awake...

The earlier drafts expanded a lot more on the concept of the desert--I think they didn't in the finished film because they didn't have the space, time, and money to do stuff out there. From what I understand, all of the desert scenes were filmed in an unused quarry next to, in, or down the street fr...

Okay, the power finally came back on. Let's see if I can get this thing done...

Sounds great. I have pages set up for props, costumes, etc. but haven't got to them yet. With your help, it'd be great trying to get as much organized as we can about each piece that's out there. ...In other news, I'm in the middle of a terrential downpour here in TN. Our power just went out--I'm up...

Aw man. Now I know how it feels to be on the other side of the mystery...

Hey, moviemaker29! Glad you appreciate the site updates--nice to know I have some visitors that really care about the site.

I'm about halfway done with the "awesome mystery update." I hope to get it up tonight!

I've always thought that the long-necked "goombas" represented the Koopa Troopas.

Just read the title, folks. I'm working on getting something really cool for later today. Check back here (or on the front page) around 9:00 PM (EST) to find out what it is... EDIT (8/16/10): taking longer than I initially planned...but I'm working on it until it's done, don't worry... EDIT (8/17/10...

Hi folks, here's what was updated on 8/14/10: * There is now a custom "error 404" page. Now, when you go to one of the pages that doesn't work, you'll at least have something nicer to look at. Keep in mind that 99% of the error pages you'll come to here are because that particular section ...

Wow, that's interesting. I could totally see her in the role.

Sounds to me like when there was a director switch, there was probably a casting switch as well.

Glad you're bringing this up. When the site was in the early production stages, I did contact some of the other SMB game sites (like TMK) telling them my intentions. I kept thinking maybe I would wait until the site was done before I really started doing the affiliates thing...but it's been like thr...

I think the thing may have some interesting nuggets of info we haven't heard about before. Not sure on the deleted scenes stuff, although it does have some interesting production photos. It also has some really (really) good stuff on behind the scenes/making-of, actor/director/producer profiles, etc...

I...have the Japanese move program. It's really cool, haven't looked at it in a while. The text is all in japanese of course...any easy ways to get it translated? Like maybe a picture to text thing?

Well, my mind was basically just blown.

That was hilarious

Okay, if anyone's bored... There are a few podcasts dedicated to reviewing/blasting the film. Haven't listened to any of them fully, but if anyone wants to do so and add in their comments, we could add them to the top section. Find 'em on iTunes: Adudathuda DVD podBLAST | Season 3 | Super Mario Bros...

Well that's surprising. I myself found qualities to be enjoyable, but I don't think I could ever find the the whole to be good. That said, it appears those who've never seen the source material (the cartoon series on Nick) are generally more forgiving of the movie's flaws. Have you seen the show? B...

I saw this the other day at the second-run theater for three bucks, in regular 2D. I heard all the bad things about the movie and how much worse it was in 3D. Well...I liked it. Not a perfect film by any means--the story needed work and the kid playing Aang was really flat and unbelievable. Still, n...

I posted the gist of this at the top: Like you said Redstar, with only three e-mails in the bag, we're already starting to get a canned response. To really get them to listen, you'll have to come up with different angles and reasons for why you'd like a new, anamorphic version of the SMB film. When ...

From Cactus on the FanEdit forums: Regarding the audio, basically yes. A PAL DVD is sped up by 4%, which is very noticeable if you're used to the original pitch. Imagine the difference of playing a C note on a piano and then a C#. Sometimes, though rarely, PAL DVDs have the audio track pitched down...

Someone on another forum pointed out to me that this redesign of the packaging is probably just a subtle tactic to boost sells as "title-on-top" usually sells better, which is something they only bothered with because they were replacing the original DVD release anyways with the "eco...

Holland version....sounds interesting. Anyone have a screenshot? I may have to pick this one up.

I have that region 2 release. Since all this new release stuff happened, I went back through my catalog to check on this stuff. Yes, it seems to be anamorphic, but I can't tell if there's any noticeable change in quality...perhaps they just "cut out" the black bars from the region 1 and tu...

Awesome effort guys. Billbot, mind posting the e-mail you sent? And I'd like the responses back as they arrive, of course.

So I did some researching, and it turns out that Buena Vista is NOTORIOUS for releasing non-anamorphic DVDs. Apparently, when DVD first took off (and most of us still had 4:3 televisions), they just took their backlog of films and did quick DVD transfers, using the laserdisc versions as their source...

billbot85 wrote:I'm guessing there still aren't any special features added either, right?

You would be correct. It's exactly the same disc as before, with the same menus and lame video transfer.

So, I was in Barnes & Noble the other day, and guess what I found? http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/forumstuff/newdvd_1.jpg Yep, I did a double take. It must be a new edition of the SMB DVD, with a different cover. Here are some comparison pics: http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/for...

Super Mario World, huh? Given your age I'd expect you to think SMB3 was the absolute pinnacle of the series, though I'm surprised you went this far back at all by excluding 64... Well, to me, I don't see anything wrong with SMW. It's almost like a Galaxy/Galaxy 2 parallel. They both start off with ...

I dont think ill be playing this game anytime soon. The mario franchise has gone down the shitter these days. Totally disagree. The downward spiral would've been around Mario Sunshine. Nintendo totally redeemed the franchise with the original Super Mario Galaxy, and honestly Galaxy 2 is probably th...

Absolutely stunning work! Did the guy who provided the sculpts actually work on the film?

They sure do!

...I have four of them

Well, I finally had enough time to read through the last couple of updates. I really, really like where the story is going. It's extremely true to the SMB movie, but almost flawlessly adding in more realized game elements, as well as some of the things we wish the actual film explored. Keep it up, I...

You won't know the meaning of frustrating until you start looking for green stars. Some of those had me screaming incessantly at the television...

Oh, if you didn't know this, here's a super-easy and hilarious 1-up trick that I figured out: In Supermassive Galaxy, get to the little planet with the three huge Koopa Troopas. Long jump onto one of them, and manage to stay on its back for as long as you can; it'll give you as many 1-ups as you wan...

Aw, crap. At least we were all prepared for it. I'm gonna have to go back and see some of the Hopper movies I haven't yet seen, like Blue Velvet.

Yeah! I got it the day it came out, I've beat the whole thing except for the last prankster comet star on the last galaxy. So annoying...

Just read this awesome article, thought I'd share:

Hey, that kind of makes sense. If I remember correctly, there's an Italian SMB movie poster out there with the Mario "M" hat on the top of the "Super Mario Bros." logo. It'd be cool if we could get proof, though.
