Pretty cool on the rough sketch! Listen, the idea isn't to get it perfect on the page. The idea is to give you a vague idea of the overall shape. It's better to do a rough sketch and add/remove the bits you like or don't like than to look at a finished prop and go "Ooh..." at something you...

Anybody got the 7-Eleven promotional stuff? Slurpee cups are the only thing coming to mind.

What are a few of my other favorite games? Let's see... Timesplitters: Future Perfect Enter the Matrix (interesting even though it was something of a rushed job) Any of the Bond games, especially Nightfire and Everything or Nothing (I include the latter as a part of the film canon) The Sonic games* ...

RE: Redstar Your proposal for the "Jump Meter" implies the need for a mouse. It could be interesting, like one of those "Rocketman" games where you have to get the trajectory of the boost just right. All in all, this is pointing to something away from the usual run and jump dynam...

I came up with 2 ideas for Mario's transformation into Wario. One was like you said where he would have been brainwashed by unseen forces, the other featured a tainted mushroom that he would eat accidentaly. (Based on the poison mushroom from Lost Levels) You could also go with something like King ...

No burning here, Prime Evil. I completely agree--pick this game up if you get a chance. The entire experience is actually a bit of a guilty pleasure. It's so odd in structure and execution but it still manages to be fun even when you're picking up pieces of virtual trash in the park. And it's true,...

That little snippet needs Brian Blessed narrating it. 8) His most terrifying book is undoubtedly Misery , if only for the very small scale of it. No ghosts, no external "horror," just a crippled man and the deranged woman taking care of him. It's terrifying because I'm sure we all know or ...

I've had something of the same thought before, though I can't recall how exactly I pictured it. I do like the idea of the two worlds being aware of each other. I know, it sounded better in my head. I think discussions about it came up when we were talking about a theme-park ride...that was one of m...

Second, we're talking about Spaghetti Westerns. Spaghetti Westerns were all filmed in Italy, which looks suspiciously like the American Old West of the 1860s... :mrgreen: Oh. I thought the only qualification was that the director had to be Italian. You must forgive me; the Western isn't exactly my ...

You're making me look like a slacker, boy. :mrgreen: Zat is because you are a slacker, Mr. Ipp... kisssssssssss . :lol: What, does no-one remember him as Pretorius in the TV version of The Mask ? Doesn't sound like him at all, but that's a testament to his range. It does say on the VHS box, "A...

Why thank you, my brother.

Think I'll put it up on Facebook, too, while I'm at it. There's a function for it.

...Although Hopper (as Koopa) didn't actually have any eyebrows in the film. But yeah, I know what you're saying. It's more the shape of the eyes and snout. If we're talking about lookalikes, Tom Felton's also reminiscent of Hopper/Koopa, especially as (blasphemy, heresy, I know the drill) Draco Ma...

Like the games, pipes would have been the main way of travel for the brothers and villagers of the kingdom, the one where the SMB enter the kingdom from would have been at a shrine where the villages pray, kinda like an alter. It also would have had an ancient look to it. The pipe-traveling is the ...

Roger Waters is bringing "The Wall" back to the states in 2012. I wish I had the dough to pick up tickets for the Wrigley Field show, but...'tis not to be.

As for martial arts films, I have the original Street Fighter with Sonny Chiba in it. Good Lord, is it gory...but it becomes almost Pythonesque in places, like the scene where Sonny attacks his sister's (girlfriend's?) would-be rapist with KUNG-FU GRIP (think about it and wince...the poor sod will h...

*makes an angry Mccoy face* An angry Sylvester McCoy face, at that. :lol: Seriously, now: I consider the original "Motion Picture" an excellent cure for insomnia. I have the VHS "Director's Cut" wherein the first 10 minutes or so is a black screen with orchestral music. I haven'...

I never bought into Disney as much as I did other animation studios, like MGM for the original "All Dogs Go to Heaven,"-- a movie that moves me to tears every time I watch it. That's saying something-- nothing makes me cry. I could say the same for myself, and yet I was absolutely blubber...

Get Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem . It's a psychological horror akin to the original Resident Evil games or the Silent Hill series. It really stands out as one of the most atmospheric and powerful games for the system. Just be warned that the game will "fake" a system crash every onc...

Wesr,

Can you give us a few concept sketches to show us what your intended final result could look like?

As for comparisons between shows, why was the SMB: Movie and SatAM picked to compare? The mild cyberpunk feel and scientifically focussed enemies are similar, but so was Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Well, it just came to me one day, like a flash that singed my eyebrows. I thought it was...

And, to top it all off, Mario is a hero. In noir, there generally are no heroes.

You're probably going to play "burn the heretic" with me because of this, but I very much have to recommend the oft-maligned Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure . It could have and should have been a much better game, but I only recommend it because it has Back to the Future: The Ride a...

"Banzai Bills?" Are these an improvement over the usual Bullet Bills? (And yes, "Banzai" is the word you're looking for, like "Buckaroo Banzai."

)

Cor, they'd love you on Gallifrey Base.

Are four-star reviews alongside five-star reviews okay? Too many five-star reviews might give off a strong fishy odor.

On that note, I remember that Sony got in trouble about that a few years ago...paying off critics to give good reviews, or else creating glowing reviews and false critics wholesale.

I wasn't sure where else to put it, so I'll just make a new thread instead of dithering in indecision. You'll find it written by "Nickdoctorwho". For years after its release, "Super Mario Bros." has been slammed as one of the worst video-game-to-big-screen adaptations, if not the...

Why, when you could really make it your own thing? Well, call me a fuddy-duddy, but I don't much care for creating a knockoff character that's too similar to something already established on the market. But who knows? IG's 30th anniversary will be here in no time at all, and someone'll notice this ...

You could probably make something completely original based on all of this-- like, just remove the named "Inspector Gadget" and "MAD" from it and rename them and rework it and you might have something you can actually sell as original material. Or I could take this to Cookie Jar...

RE: Bullet Bills

As far as I know, Mario only put the one cartridge into the shoe onscreen. Also, Big Bertha says, "You put the cartridge in, and click your heels together."

Let me go check the designs and I'll get back to you.

We need to work Christopher Lee into it somewhere. Maybe as the former king.

Fourth, I didn't like "Batman Begins," in fact, I absolutely hated it. "The Dark Knight" was okayÂ but it was just too damn serious. I find I have the reverse. For me, Begins is wonderful, but Dark Knight is the one I can't stand very much. All I can say is, when the Joker crash...

You know, I can actually see that happening. Even if the "mistaken for warriors" thing is a bit old and tired, it's just about perfect for our plumbers. The trick is to figure out how to work it seamlessly into the story. Nice job on concentrating the second film on Donkey Kong, too...you ...
