A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Well on some forums ive been to the subject of Roms and Emulation tend to be a "taboo" kind of subject. :P You can discuss ROMs and emulation as much as you like and you can even link to hacks, but do not link to the ROMs or emulators themselves. It's a slippery slope when dealing with pi...

I'd have to agree. Plus, you have to wonder why the artist was so dim as to completely overlook the possibility of giving Mario a FLUDD when he's clearly themed his "game" around the BP oil spill.

Welcome! You'll find that we're all big fans of the film, so you'll certainly never be without discussion for long. Feel free to jump into any discussion you like, no matter how old the topic might be. Fresh thoughts are always welcome!

Now that I know my schedule it seems I'll be working on New Year's Eve. The club holds a party every year and the waitstaff pulls straws to determine who goes home the earliest. However, I'll be dishwashing. That I'll have to stay as long as there's dishes and glasses to clean. I've been told that c...

:lol: Yeah, I've been seeing these comments on a lot of sites. This was even the general consensus back when some footage was shown at Comic-Con. Twitter right now is essentially "trending" the topic. Hundreds of tweets of people saying/re-tweeting the same thing. Crazy how everyone rememb...

The original Planet of the Apes film is an undeniable science fiction classic. It somehow straddles the division between an intelligent, thought-provoking story and an adventure that can take in anyone. Heston's role and performance are perhaps two of the reasons it was so successful, though the stu...

Westerns...I saw the one with Gene Hackman and Russell Crowe in it a while ago--can't think of what it was called. It's not Unforgiven , but something else. I thought it was marvelous, if only for the depth of character and sheer emotion. First of all, I think you're thinking of "Tombstone,&qu...

This is exactly the case in some of the early scripts. They even went so far as to make different colored Bills! And I haven't even read any of the earlier scripts. I'm beginning to think that I may be a latent clairvoyant in some ways. Must get myself tested... I highly recommend checking out the ...

Oooooh, I just had a brainwave: the pipes are installed later as a permanent gateway between dimensions. Kind of a "fostering better relations" thing. But, as with all sci-fi technology, it has to be badly misused somewhere along the line. I've had something of the same thought before, th...

I haven't watched all the films, but I've enjoyed most of those that I have. I really liked First Contact , Insurrection and Star Trek 2009 , but I found Wrath of Khan to be massively disappointing considering how physical and intellectual the original episode was. I did not enjoy seeing Kirk and K...

Recently PETA bashed Planet of the Apes for reducing apes to mere creatures you perform as and not the smart animals they are. PETA is also making 20th Century Fox either apologize or ban the the franchise. What. Chimps are indeed intelligent and have been strong performers in the past, but they ca...

http://www.tor.com/images/stories/blogs/11_12/Torgo.jpg According to Tor and NPR , MANOS: The Hands of Fate (widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made) is getting a Blu-Ray re-release. Apparently, cameraman Ben Solovey likes to collect 16mm films as a hobby. He recently came across a...

I like Star Trek, a lot. I don't know if I'm a "Trekkie" or a "Trekker" (I don't even know the difference.) but personally, I'm a fan of the 'Next Generation,' and Patrick Stewart in general. "Trekkie" is generally a pejorative used by other science fiction fans to den...

No, the "Galaxy" series are the goofiest of the series. He dresses up in a bumblebee outfit and... just go watch a playthrough on GameAnyone.com. As pointed out by superwesleybros, Mario has traditionally dressed up as both a frog and a raccoon... Can't get much more goofy than that. I do...

Why is the fantasy script the most popular out of all the scripts we've posted here? The 2/19/92 Parker Bennett/Terry Runte script is far superior. :| Probably because it represents the strongest what-if for a Super Mario Bros. adaptation. There's no denying that a fantasy-themed adaptation of the ...

I would have no problem if they went back and finished the incomplete scenes, but only under the condition that the technology they go about to do so with was the exact same kind of technology they used to make the film in 1992-- that is the only pure solution. I'm sure the technology used in '92, ...

Serum, you're absolutely brilliant. Phlibbit and I have worked on a continuation of the film in our privates discussions that incorporates just about the same elements that you have. You're really building excitement in the most logical way possible. Great minds (and true fans) think alike. :P Real...

We're not really bringing Nietzsche-like concepts into this conversation, are we? Dude, it's Mario. :| The discussion is on what defines a super hero, so I feel that Nietzsche's teachings on the concept of the "Ãœbermensch" are relevant. Early heroes of mythology and folklore sometimes fe...

I can understand believing the Saturn was bad, but the Dreamcast? It literally invented online gaming on home systems - I guess Nintendo fans wouldn't get that though since the Wii online is about as good as a chocolate teapot. The Dreamcast is certainly a highly underrated system that was truly ah...

As much as I like him I don't consider Mario a super hero. Super heroes are often defined by comic books, such as Bat Man and Super Man. These are comic book super heroes, in current pop culture when you say super hero to someone these are the faces that appear in their minds not Mario. And its not...

The problem with the Star Wars films and revisiting them is that they are not actually Lucas' work. They're the product of contributions from his wife and friends in the film industry (including directors famous in their own right). Because of them, the films became much more strong and character-dr...

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.

Not just the Super Show, but check out the Super Mario Adventures graphic novel (or the individual pieces that appeared in issues of Nintendo Power). The Jennewein/Parker script is extremely close to that in terms of tone. Right down to the point where you'd swear to god SMA ripped off the '91 draf...

A FamiCom Twin Top-Loader NES/SNES Console to play older video-games on. Battletoads, Castlevania and Metroid for the NES/FamiCom Twin. Super Mario World, Doom and Shadowrun for the SNES/FamiCom Twin. Doom 64 for the Nintendo 64. (I'm a huge Doom nut, I even liked the movie!) Samurai Western for th...

I started to lose faith in the Mario games at sunshine, something about cleaning up pollution and the fact that I was being blamed for it just felt overly preachy. I may also be the only person on the planet who didn't like Galaxy, even if it had a different Mario voice that didn't sound like a tee...

MP 1 and 2 are defiantly my favorites. I started to dislike the series at 3 because like you said, of its over complication, not just the addition of Waluigi who I simply ignored. What I remember really being frustrated with was I think there was an item that allowed you to go backwards on the map ...

It could have been an evolution weapon that returns them to their ideal evolved state. Yeah I just made it up but maybe evolution returns a creature to a previous state but a more advanced version of it. The way I see it is that the devo technology doesn't necessarily "de-evolve" organism...

You do not need to be super dark and serious to appeal to older folks. Some of the best movies with great appeal among children and adults are light and fun in addition to being serious in some instances. I'll have to agree with Serum on this one. Many of the most enduring children films are not th...

Welcome around. Surprised Merritt wasn't able to get you here much sooner than now. Still, it's good to have you with us, especially considering what your brother has said of your interest for the film.

Feel free to post in any topic that you feel you can add to. We welcome the discussion.

I don't really listen to music outside of my car radio to and from work, but I do have a list of artists I typically enjoy for one reason or another. I'll provide that list below; feel free to comment on any of them and I'll elaborate my interest. Beasty Boys Blood Drunk Bad Press Big Time Rush Chem...

Looking good! Using those spikes was a good idea. Too bad you don't have enough. I wouldn't buy another pack if that many would go to waste, though you never know.

Like Prime Evil, I'd like to see it said or shown what actually makes this concept "noir." You've described some basic details behind a plot, but nothing really thematic or atmospheric to suggest that the concept is in any way noir . Like "darker and edgier," it's not a label tha...

Happy birthday, Star Ma'am. Feel free to check back to let us know how you enjoyed your celebration and what gifts you may have received!

Today is also PowerGlove79's birthday! He doesn't visit the boards too frequently, but he's a big presence elsewhere.

Whenever it seems like another vid of this type would be well liked, I make another. So I'll start thinking about how to go about it. I had lots of practice cutting the movie together, and I get really perfectionist about how it looks. Took me awhile to make this one, hard to time it right and no w...

I didn't want to make another thread about this seeing this topic was still on the first page (and near the top I might add). Did anyone see the walkie talkies for sale this past week? It ended Christmas night around 9 PM EST. It went unsold for $20 with $9 shipping, complete and boxed! I forgot to...

Good job, keep up the good work. But you should also think about doing an original thing that you or someone you know wrote yourself and then making a collaborative effort to pull together as a team and make something entirely new-- this is why people hate Hollywood so much right now, because there...

I highly recommend Super Mario Sunshine and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Sunshine is a very underrated Super Mario game. Yes, the FLUDD is a gimmick, but it's a fun one that offers just as much versatility in your movements as Mario's usual acrobatics do. The voice-acting and story are very ...

This isn't exactly the most appropriate thread for this, but I figure it fits here better than just creating a new topic. According to io9 via Bleeding Cool , concept drawings of The Comedian and Nite Owl for the oft-discussed prequel to Watchmen have been leaked. Check them out at the provided site...
