A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Sure it shows. The amount of minute detail on things in the SMB movie is so ridiculous that a lot of people don't really realize it.

What an interesting story, having the tools be lighter. I wonder if that's the reason Luigi lost all of his tools? The spanner wrench is definitely the coolest part.

Awesome. Just awesome. Now the thwomp stompers will be tricky as all hell. Can't wait to see what you do with those...

Aww heck. What could it be...

Moved to the "Newbie Lounge" forum.

Well, just as the case with movies like Harry Potter, you can't take it too seriously. Since the movie wasn't a huge box-office success, I don't think that the evolution issue had much to do with anything. Now, if the film turned out to be a smash hit, I think there would have been a lot more backla...

a Koopa figure that's head flips inside his body to reveal another head that is his transformation state. That would have been sweet. Now THAT would be cool. I have this old red Power Ranger figure where it's got his head without the helmet, and it can flip under to reveal the head with the helmet....

I had a thought today, and I think it would be cool if someone could do this one: take the "Tale of the Fisherman and the Genie" scene from the early SMB draft and animate it. The one where Luigi tells the story while the group of kids are surrounded by him.

Oh god, that has to be intentional. Really cool find!

Hey it's great to hear from you. The devo gun is looking great so far! I can't wait to see the finished product. And btw, if you're planning on tackling the thwomp stompers eventualy, check out the Jeff Goodwin interview. I believe there's some sort of snowboarding shoe that they used as a base.

See? I got lotsa tricks up my sleeve. More updates coming...

Re: 7/1/09 Updates Didja see the cool pictures I put in the interview pages?

Didja see the cool pictures I put in the interview pages?

Sooo, these are the massive updates I did today (ripped straight from the front page): * The Specials section now has a main page and description. * The 3/25/92 Early Draft Script is DONE and online. Link. Forum page. * Detailed descriptions of the two scripts we have on the Early Draft Scripts page...

FYI: I'm doing a LOT of updating today. Been in the process of doing it for a couple of days, actually. Stay tuned...

Really? LOL I'll have to look for that next time I watch the film.

...when you create a room in your house especially for your recreation of the Fungusy-De-evolved King.

Well, from the way Scapelli was acting around her, and the shot of her looking suspiciously in Iggy and Spike's direction, I think she probably thought she'd take her chances with the Mario Bros. at that point, heh.

Oh, I'll give you mine. Listen carefully after Scapelli gets de-evolved into a monkey. A Goomba says, "Look, a Goomba!"

Ooh, maybe there's a deleted scene detailing why they get rid of the boots. I always wondered how they lost them...I'll have to take a look at that elevator scene!

So I live in Tennessee, in the tri-cities area. This was the birthplace of Mountain Dew, believe it or not. The company had another soft drink that they invented--Dr. Enuf. They sold the rights to Dew a long time ago and look where that went... They still make Dr. Enuf around these parts, and I've g...

So I thought perhaps there should be a thread on this stuff. Every movie has plot holes, and goofs/inconsistencies of some sort. So this is the place to present/confirm/deny that stuff. You guys can post what YOU think is a plot hole/goof/inconsistency, and I'll make an ongoing list here in the top ...

Okay...

Since the scripts are done now, what would you guys like to see next? I'd figure it'd be the merchandise, but I thought it prudent to ask...

There are actually a lot of cool signs and stuff like that in the movie. I really wish we had an HD version so this stuff could be clearer.

I gotta say, thanks for hanging in there. I know I'm slow with this stuff. I really wanna get the bulk of the site finished in the next few weeks. So yeah, I agree with a lot of what you said about the script. It gets off to a good start but about halfway through it gets really jumpy and really conf...

Yeah I got my 360 version and beat the hell out of it. Amazing game. I loved it to death; I dunno what problems some reviewers had. I looove me some Ghostbusters.

Well it's good to see that you finally registered, Mr. Life-Extending mushroom. I hope you can bring some good discussion to the forums : )

Yeah yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do, likely at the start of next week. I finished up my early draft script first though, as I couldn't stand not having it finished. If your scanner sucks or whatever, you can always send your stuff to me to scan...I'll even pay for teh shipping...

I'm just jesting, obviously. I have all of that stuff except for the Devo Gun, the Paint n' Marker Book, and the two articles I posted up there. Nice stuff. I'd really like some better scans of those things for the site, especially that elusive looking advertisement. Don't have the devo gun box, do ...

Yay, it's finally up! Let me know what you guys think...

Like I said in the update, I'm almost done transcribing. It should be up soon!

Good grief, after I think I have it all, you guys go and trump me. @ultimateemail5000: So I've never ever seen that keychain before. Is there a back for it? If so, I wanna see. @Powerglove: I officially hate you. WTF Is this? smb_ad.jpg I need better scans. NOW. And of this advertisement, too: smb_a...

Yeah I know! "Walk the Dinosaur" in TWO Leguizamo movies? LOL

Yes, an actor! I hope that it pans out...

Well, the dude is Egon Spengler. I think he would've done a great job, honestly. At the very least, I can see him being able to make the movie more coherant and flow better.

Okay, okay, enough string pulling from me. Gosh I wish I had a real deleted scene. But alas. I'm finishing up my early draft script today. That's one. And secondly, there's the possibility of another interview for the site, in one of the "aspects" of the film I have yet to cover. Take it h...

Well, I wish it was. Which, it could be, but not right this moment. Guess again.

Nope! Wish it was. Try again

So, I know how y'all know how I like to run stuff into the ground and make things last as long as possible so I don't have to do so much work in between updates, right? Right. So, there are two, yes, TWO very interesting things happening regarding the site. If you guess them, I'll confirm. Here are ...

Lane would be a better Mario than Luigi. But probably not right for either, IMO. Still, I'm so biased that I can't see anyone but Hoskins and Leguizamo in the roles at this point.

Well, I'm glad you got a good idea for your next SMB poster
