A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I think people just wanted to see Mario riding him and won't accept Yoshi as anything more than a mule. Hell, it would have been cool for Mario to ride a realistic T-rex in the movie... Think the original climactic fight against Koopa: Mario mounts the de-evolved Koopa and bull-rides him while Koop...

You have to have a LOT of jumping.

Start there, and the rest is easy.

Or, why not a ride on a runaway Bullet Bill train, with Luigi and Koopa fighting atop it (holograms or somesuch)?

Prime Evil

Really, if you ask me , SMB's reputation is worse than its quality. Its heart is just about in the right place, and its brain is basically firing on all cylinders, but...there's still something off about it, as if the last few pieces of the jigsaw puzzle are missing. This blog-review is most fascina...

Well, this thread is just for sheer randomness. The more outlandish,the better.

Alternatively, "The Thing" somehow got into the Mushroom Kingdom and she was trying to Kill It With Fire.

Prime Evil

Just a random speculation thread. We all know that SMB was intended to be a franchise but this did not happen when the first one tanked. So, with that in mind, what kind of a madhouse do you think Princess Daisy was coming from at the end? My two cents: In Koopa's absence, Dr. Eggman was finally abl...

Can we find Merritt a time machine and send him back to 1993 so he can deposit this thing into the studio's hands? :twisted: It probably wouldn't matter.

I'm sure that the piranha plants would have been too redolent of Little Shop of Horrors, which was only five years old.

I just love how Super Mario has permeated through world culture so much that people even consider playing Mario theme music with classical instruments, and that the world respects that . :) Yeah, but he's taken it that one step further and is playing the music along with the game . That's the crazy...

What makes this hysterical is that he actually IMPROVISES the music and sound effects as his friend plays the game.

Which is a shame, really.

Despite general consensus (or at least a general unwillingness to give a shit) among the industry that video game adaptations suck, they still make them because they know (or assume) that fans of the game will still go to see the movie, if only to see if it sucks just as much as we've come to expec...

No one in their right mind should support the motion capture technique I dunno, the actors who sign on to do these motion-capture things seem to endorse it. It makes "hitting their marks" easier, or so I've heard. I think the technology's getting better, though, and the characters may not...

We're not playing time travel by Back to the Future rules, though, we're playing by Terminator rules. And we're certainly not playing by TimeCop rules, because those are just silly. Never seen TimeCop , so I wouldn't be able to comment on it. :mrgreen: As for "Terminator's" rules, well, D...

That's a pretty impressive Idea. I love the idea of the base's codename being SUBCON. It'd be really cool if you could think of something for that to be an anagram for. Anagram or acronym? An anagram rearranges the letters in a word or phrase; for example, my username (Prime Evil) would become &quo...

Okay, so I was thinking about this the other day, in the Terminator movies, why don't the machines simply send a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah Connor as a baby? It seems pretty obvious, right? Without Sarah Connor, there can be no John Connor and without John Connor there can be no resistan...

Why would Koopa go through to the other side alone? Unless there's even more cut footage, it doesn't explain why a high-profile political figure from the Mushroom Kingdom would go chasing after one woman, into another dimension all by his lonesome. Unless, Koopa is just a grunt at this point in his...

I post at the Evageeks forum, and this image came up in one of the threads there:

I know I want to establish a shot of a train to later be graphically-altered to resemble a Bullet Bill train, but where to get such footage I don't know. I know I want it to be an L train or a lifted train, such as the one found in Chicago, but that type of train isn't often seen in movies. It's us...

I'm sure you're trying to be clever by referencing some obscure Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy thing or something, but in case you aren't, Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson) does that intro narration. What I'm suggesting is to overlay that scene, without Dan's voice and let Toad do the talking. Off...

Are you quite sure of that? Mario's pose in that picture certainly looks like the one Bob Hoskins maintained behind the scenes.

I wonder, is there a way to make the Stomper cartridges a workable gaming mechanic? Something like, they give you an extra "boost" added to your normal jump, but you have to pick them up/buy them. The Fire Flower, I suspect, would be replaced by a wooden crate with a Flamethrower inside.

Check Spike's turn in the Devo Chamber. He gives Iggy's name as "Ignatius" in an effort to "show off."

Honestly, I don't really see what the problem with Wild Wild West is. Sure, the giant spider (thank you, Jon Peters) is a bit much, but it's...passable.
