Re: The Spirituality of "Super Mario Bros."
It's because the Christians don't believe God would have a reason for using Evolution when he can make humans out of entirely new material. That and the fact that the bible they blieve in clearly states that humans were made by God and not evolution. There's also a misunderstanding about the nature...

Spaceballs isn't actually all that funny, IMO. As a Mel Brooks comedy, it's fairly scattershot and something of a mess. Unfortunately, I've only seen that and Young Frankenstein , so it's a bit hard to judge the humor of all of his films. All I can say is, YF is by far the funnier because even witho...

I find that when you're creating characters you have to at least give them some of your own characteristics and life experience.

Re: Official Plot Holes/Goofs/Inconsistencies Thread
The reason the king's revival is a plot hole is because they never explain how the king got re-evolved. There was no beam of light or any indication that someone used the Devo gun on him, in fact no one seemed to be there when the King was revived. So how could be the king re-evolved if he wasn't s...

Yes, well, you have to forgive the fan-character creators. They're just starting out, and it's practice (and wish-fulfillment).

Dennis Hopper's un-made-up visage as Koopa does make sense if you think about it. He is, after all, Number One On Top(TM), and those who are Number One On Top tend to make themselves look as beautiful as possible as a contrast to the s#!t-covered masses they're trampling.
