A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I was under the impression that PETA stood for " P eople for the E ating of T asty A nimals." In which case, I've been a member for years. Oh, haven't we all? :wink: I have no issue with respecting animals and treating them well before their consumption, but I also feel that it's the natu...

I stopped playing the "Mario Party" games after "Mario Party 2." I had "Mario Party 3" for awhile, but I traded it in as I hated it so much, particularly because of the inclusion of the 'character' of Waluigi-- I don't even consider Waluigi a real Mario character. I mi...

Just a general question, but, whatever happened to that proposed interview we had coming up with Dana Kaminski? That seemed to drop off the face of the earth... *sigh...* Dana is a really difficult person to get in touch with. She has expressed interest in doing the interview, but whenever we give ...

Welcome to the board, Crazie! I see Merritt here has already given you a personal welcome, so I'll just say that it's glad to see a new member around, especially as we end this year and start a new one. We have big plans for the film and our community coming up in 2012, so stick around and have fun!...

Welcome to the board! Great to have you here, and as always, it's great to meet another fan of the most exquisite film ever produced in the history of mankind. Nice to meet you too Serum! :D It's great to see you're a fairly active member, judging by your post count, which I see is currently at eig...

Yeah, I like the overall concept, but do agree that something more stylized and obvious would be so much more presentable. The site itself has grown so much, yet the logo is still behind.

Um not to be rude, but where is the script version? I've looked everywhere, is Philibbit still working on it? Phlibbit and I really dropped the ball with this one. We've both been working a lot more lately and with the holiday season we just don't have time to make anything but news updates. We pro...

Interesting. I can't turn up any info other than what's shown on the Amazon page, so I will have to (unfortunately) say that it's probably just a mistake. I do know that some of the foreign releases include a special feature or two, though I believe it's all on one disc. However, just a week ago the...

Excellent post, Roareye. I've no idea where you came from or what inspired such a post, but you've definitely raised many points that Phlibbit and I have discussed before as well as a few others. We have taken the time to explore the various different distributors for the film (particularly UK and I...

They're not exactly the most original interpretations of the games, but the do seem to follow the basic archetypes that lend towards a strong hero arc. The early games were simply made for such an interpretation and I think we saw it done mostly well in the Jennewein/Parker script. The important thi...

Excellent work, Wesr. I like how you're incorporating symbology from the games into the aesthetic of the boot while still maintaining the overall concept. It helps that the Thwomp and crossed hammers are both already used in the film, albeit in different places and slightly different designs. Be sur...

I personally like the idea behind a split timeline. It's a fascinating concept for any media, though particularly for the constantly re-inventive video game. What I would like to see, however, is each timeline explored with different themes and gameplay mechanics. Really play up two different worlds.

Welcome to the board! We're glad to hear that our site has proved so inspirational in your project. Ever since we formed this site we've found that it's given a community for fans and the curious alike to really just band together and enjoy the film. It's proven to be a worthwhile experience just be...

Good to hear. Just be sure to draft all your future chapters and it'll make the actual writing much easier. Drafting is like having a map of where you need to go; you have all the sights and streets drawn down, so it's only a matter of writing about the journey between them. Overall your writing is ...

I've just been working a lot since we host a lot of Christmas parties and events during this season. Lots of hours for the evening shifts, but generally very slow in the morning. It's proven exhausting.

All I know of "Spaghetti Westerns" are that Quentin Tarantino likes them and I don't like Quentin Tarantino. Sell me on the genre, Merritt.

A movie's success is usually always determined by how much money it made or is now making. Many films that did poorly, but are cult classics that *now* make money were just "misunderstood" or "undermarketed." In such cases you always have people who worked on those films saying h...

It's better to draft out each chapter with the main plot points and character interactions so that you only need to write through it once before doing a final edit. You won't get anywhere by revisiting the first three chapters before actually getting to the actual plot of the story. I recommend just...

We've gotten a lot of support for this event. Everyone seems to want a screening in their own state or town, so it's clearly an idea that interests a lot of people. It also only goes to show what I've been saying for awhile: the movie is always something that can be enjoyed with friends. If there's ...

In a recent interview with Wired , Miyamoto announced that he would be retiring from his long-held position as producer and general director. He says "What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself." He would probably be "working on a smaller pro...

I'm sure if that was asked Kotaku and other sites would have picked up that angle and played it deeply towards "Surely it'd be better than the 1993 attempt of Super Mario Bros." I haven't read the article myself, but I know several people who subscribe and can list out everything covered o...

In the most recent issue of Game Informer magazine, Zelda director Eiji Aonuma was interviewed on his history with and contribution to the series. Within this interview, he also expressed an interest in retooling the series and evolving it further than most installments have in the pass. He says, &q...

Ha. Bring the Ghostbusters connection only closer, plus reference one of the most fun games on the Gamecube!

Be sure to share your Thanksgiving events throughout the day or once it's all over! Have fun and enjoy your food and family!

Kotaku just did a defense of PETA's statements which I fully agree with. Yes, PETA generally goes about things in completely inappropriate and counterproductive ways, but you have to admit that their overall message is admirable. It's a shame that despite tanookis being so iconic to the Super Mario ...

I watched Batman & Robin for the first time in years earlier this year with my girlfriend and we had a blast. Yeah, it's not a good Batman adaptation at all (has neither the grit and emotion or lighthearted comic adventure that makes the property so successfully translated) but it's still hilari...

Welcome! This is definitely the place to be if you'd like to learn and reminisce about the film. :P We have tons of info and materials for the film's development, so I'm sure that you can find something that you'd be interested in. Feel free to post in any topic you like, no matter how old it is, as...

I'm not even really mad about this, it's just that, I want to have at least someone review my story. Sorry for not responding. I wish I could as often as I used to, but Phlibbit and I have both been very busy the last few months. I've certainly paid attention to this topic and have read each chapte...

We're all aware of some of the original casting choices for the film and no doubt feel that the chosen actors helped make it the classic it is, but does anyone have suggestions for other '80s/'90s-era actors they might have liked to see? If anyone has seen 1997's Mouse Hunt then you might agree that...

Happy birthday, Zack! Come back around soon!

Hehe. Yeah, I read about this on Kotaku. I can see PETA's point when it comes to an issue like this, but they're clearly only targeting Super Mario due to its popularity. There's many other video game properties with far more realistic and sinister depictions of interactions with animals. As it stan...

Most infamously, Brandon Lee was killed during the filming of The Crow in the town of Wilmington. Yes, accidents are bound to happen when shooting a film, but Wilmington being a relatively young shooting location at the time I would image they were risking a lot just by being there. There certainly ...

Just then, Terry, a handsome Pterodactyl waltzed into the club with his hands held up and his tail wagging about. He's awesome.

True, however M. Night Shamalan also said he was a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender and we all know what a great adaption that was. The difference there is that everything Shyamalan said to suggest his love of Avatar only showed his ignorance of what it was actually about. Not only that, but he had...

I think this sudden positive energy will decrease when the movie comes out. I mean don't get me wrong, I was a fan of the original muppet movies, but lately, movies based on nostalgic childhood moments have sucked, escpecially the Smurfs movie, I haven't seen it but I already knew it was suck. I'm ...

http://a.yfrog.com/img611/8623/f28fc.jpg I'm not usually a fan of those "let's make something crazy happen" online campaigns, but this one seems like it could actually be a little fun if it turned out. For a little background, director Brett Ratner ( X-Men: The Last Stand , Rush Hour 3 an...

Have you seen jka12002's recent topic? He posted just about the same thing only the day before! Phlibbit is right: he and I are busy, but we make it a priority to post as often as we can. We've done our best to introduce and continue discussions, but it's up to you and others to keep this place aliv...

Happy birthday, man! Stay a regular!

This is probably a gross generalization, but I believe it would be fair to say that 95% of the film was shot in Wilmington. Much of it took place on the town streets and in the Ideal Cement Factory. All the establishing shots depicting New York and the Brooklyn Bridge were shot by David Snyder in Ne...
