A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Yes, that was me! I'm glad you finally found the time to re-post the article; we really appreciate it. :) It'll also be good to get some further commentary from you. These early scripts are certainly fascinating looks into both the creative process of the film and the business of the industry. One h...

This has been a long time coming, but we're finally working on a layout overhaul for the site. While what we currently have is fine for the amount of traffic we were getting, it's now time to get out of 1999 and offer something much cleaner and more presentable for the unofficial "official"...

I get that Dennis Hopper was great at playing villains, but he doesn't seem to know what he's doing. Then again, neither does anyone else. What they should've done for Koopa was get a different actor and make him a Godzilla-esque costume. Koopa was originally going to be played by Arnold Schwarzene...

Despite its flaws, the movie really is a fun adventure with a unique take on the games. It's a lot more faithful than people give it credit for, but very few people can get past the visuals/atmosphere. If it doesn't have hills-with-eyes, it's not like the games, right?

I really appreciate you taking the time to re-post this review, Boba! It was a pleasure to read it on IMDb and its still a pleasure to read it here. :P I'll just comment on a few brief points, but overall the review stands out as well thought-out and well-written. All of the sets are dark which was ...

That was short, but perhaps the only somewhat enjoyable mockery/riff of the film I've yet to see. You did a really good job of condensing the film down to its component plot-beats, though I would have liked to see more of the Boom Boom Bar scene. That location/scene is a huge fan-favorite just becau...

So are you feeling more optimistic than Redstar, Phlibbit? Phlibbit and I both are very optimistic about a potential re-cut. We both understand the obstacles in getting the cut footage out there, but we also feel that if we just press hard enough and long enough that someone will realize that it's ...

Seems like a small update, but I very much enjoyed putting it together. Mike was a joy to correspond with, especially knowing that he was one of the "men behind the makeup." The dino-humans always have and always will be a wonder for me and for the film itself... A part of that world that ...

We got an amazing amount of coverage for this update... As Phlibbit said in our next update, the coverage for this update caused us to receive our most traffic for a single update ever . While we were able to list the big-hitters ( 1UP , GoNintendo , NintendoLife , Games Radar ), I feel I should giv...

This better be good! I hope to see that cameo used effectively.

But what are the chances they actually will re-release it with bonus features? I mean, I know the movie is still being sold in stores right now, but I think that's just because lots of Mario fans who have never heard of the movie just buy it as an impulse purchase. If that is truly the case, it see...

It's really nice to be able to fully understand this review, especially considering how favorable it is. You really seem to like the movie, with Mario and Luigi's characters in particular being a favorite. I can just tell by how passionately you quote their lines!

By "updated", do you mean it would be a director's cut or something, or are you just talking about film quality? While we would be happy with a simple update/re-mastering of picture quality, we do hope that Disney takes the plunge and at least releases something with an assortment of spec...

I didn't even bother to click the above link, but I did come across this more recent article covering a Super Mario-themed wedding. http://cdn.greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/super-mario-wedding-05.jpg I have to say, this is definitely preferable. It's subdued and subtle, yet still ...

I just finished reading the 2/19/92 draft, and I have to say: This is, hands down, the definitive "Super Mario Bros" script! I wouldn't go that far, but I definitely agree that this script had just so much going for it that you have to wonder why exactly they chose to dump Parker and Terr...

I don't want Blu-ray, as a matter of principle. The current idea in the media seems to be that we can't be happy until we have entirely recreated the movie theatre experience in our living rooms. Blu-ray is the first step in that direction, followed by 3D Blu-ray. I enjoy seeing movies in theatres ...

I would just love to re-read through this and offer my final thoughts in review-form, but the lack of formatting in the early parts is just killing me. I'll wait until it's available in script-form (or the early text is formatted) until I go through it.

I guess they're not $60 anymore...but I would rather buy a painted one from them than a unpainted anyway since my skills don't go beyond basic set painting (plus what it would cost to get the materials). Better for me to get one done professionally. Oh, darn! You know, I did get the bust half-off f...

Your overview is completely fair and I understand you not wanting to review the script in more detail; in fact, I agree and wouldn't want you to waste your time! Simply giving it a chance is all that I would ask for. :) The first Dick/Ian script is likewise a waste of time due to the complete lack o...

LOL at "They're gonna make her watch an entire golf tournament and then they're gonna kill her!" If anything else, this draft at least had some witty lines. :D I would have a lot more to say about this script, but I actually wrote the script page overviews as well as contributed to the de...

PLACEHOLDER

"Segali" really would fit as both the proper and official surname for Mario and Luigi. While I have no problem with "Mario," it's just an issue best left ignored.

Only $60 eh? That sounds like a good deal to get in on. Redstar, is that ebay seller still selling them? I think he was selling the villain goomba and toad for $200 or something like that. I'm not sure what there difference was, if any, now that the eBay listing I posted about is down. The ones tha...

They're all great figures. I feel the RoboCop figure would be the best, but that's entirely up to you and what you're trying to accomplish with such a custom figure.

The great thing about this is that if we can manage to get one of them for an interview it makes it that much easier to get the other.

This post is coming a bit late, but our update really made a splash across the Internet! Sites such as Kotaku , The Escapist , GoNintendo and Reino do Cogumelo (Spanish) provided exposure to our interview with Richard, which you should all read again! :P Now, the reason I decided to revisit this int...

I can't say anything in the film or what's currently on the site felt like shades of Giger's work, but we do have some pre-production artwork by art director Walter Martishius that's absolutely grotesque, bizarre and mechanical. We have an interview planned with him at some point, so asking if he wa...

Here's the OFFICIAL forum for discussion of the 3/3/92 Dick Clement & Ian la Frenais Script. Overview : Acclaimed British screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian la Frenais ( Flushed Away , Across The Universe ) were brought onto the project to steer the story closer towards the directors' vision of ...

Here's the OFFICIAL forum for discussion of the 2/19/92 Parker Bennett & Terry RuntÃ© Script. Overview : Heavily inspired by the genre-aware sensibilities of Ghostbusters and its star Bill Murray, writers Parker and Terry envisioned a world that didnâ€™t take itself too seriously despite the ser...

According to the article 'THIS CHARLOTTE ACTOR HAS NO PROBLEM STAYING BUSY' in a July, 1992 issue of The Charlotte Observer , actor Steven Dean Davis played a police officer in the film. After contacting him in regards to a possible interview, Steven stated that he was originally supposed to be the ...

Yeah, that was me.

Ah. Well, you do very good work. Hopefully we can see more of you around here and perhaps more from you.

The first one I'd like to try and make is a Dinohattan citizen. I would like to try and replicate the prosthetic make-up job done on Mark Jeffrey Miller's "Lizard Man" character, including the lizard-like contact lenses. My goal is trying to make it as my next Halloween costume. :) Very c...

But my idea for this story is that the "three weeks later" event had already happened. Mario and Luigi had already gone back to the other dimension and was introduced to the "real" Mushroom Kingdom. I had conceptualized that Daisy had helped her father restore their kingdom whic...

Honestly, as an editor, I didn't really like this version. The inception style trailer had better clips and feel. As goofy as the original "I've got the power" trailer was, it was still more professional. This one has the seriousness in the first half, but the editing quality and style ne...

I found the concept behind this trailer very fascinating. When it comes to the original 1993 film, I don't think any of us can imagine a sequel taking place any time but "three weeks later." Even now, nearly 20 years later since the film's release, that adventure is still waiting to be tol...

Very clever video! It's interesting to wonder what elements from the film, if any, might have carried over into later games of the series. They say that you can see the silhouette of Princess Peach in the ripples of one of the portals in Super Mario 64, much like Daisy's face in the wall-of-rock. Ev...

Happy 25th, Mario86.

Welcome to the boards! I've checked our your Super Mario: Legacy trailer and found it fantastic... Look forward to a post from me under its topic! :) I hope you stick around for awhile. Feel free to post in any topic you like, no matter how old it may be, as long as you feel you have something to ad...

Awesome! Daisy and her mother are two of my favorite characters in the film, so I always enjoy seeing fan work involving them.
