A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Welcome, JoeBlow80! I agree that the film was totally underrated and could have easily generated one of the few examples of a superior sequel. All the groundwork had already been lain with the first film so the second could have focused more on the fascinatingly grotesque qualities of the parallel w...

Haha! Yeah, it can only help make our presence seem that much stronger.

Welcome to the board! The memory of the movie has stuck with us all, some more than others. This is a place to relive those memories and foster them... We've been doing a lot to bring the movie back to the public consciousness, as you may have noted via the coverage we received from Kotaku, AICN and...

There was in fact a novelization for the film, which was written by acclaimed Young Adult author Todd Strasser. His novelization was somewhat darker in tone from the film and included a number of deleted/alternate scenes. As it stands, it's the best indication we have as to the likely structure of a...

This is a thread for fans to list different special features, etc. they'd like to see for a future home video re-release of the movie. Here's what I'd like for a 20th+ anniversary edition... - Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo Pack (Restored Picture Clarity!) - Behind the Scenes featurette - Original ...

If a remake, reboot, or sequel was made today of the Super Mario Bros. movie, who would you cast? Remake... Mario - Robin Williams (Old Dogs) Luigi - Daisy - Brooke Taylor (The Witches of Oz) Koopa - Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal) Lena - Eliza Swenson (9/11 Commision Report) Iggy - Spike - Big Bert...

I really enjoyed this. I could easily spot the '91 fantasy script and '93 sci-fi script inspirations, though none of it felt in the least bit forced. Everything was integrated well into your new concept, which seems to be developing well along its own path. It was all very well written, too, which i...

If there is one thing I really didn't like about the original movie, it was the underpowered Devo Guns. They fired a weak stream of energy that took several seconds to do any damage. And Koopa was standing still, I can't imagine trying to shoot a fast, small target with those things. And my movie c...

Didn't turn out as bad as you seemed to think it would. Could have been better, but I think it works for what you're trying to do with it.

Hey guys. I need ideas for what I should write my next poem about. Please contribute! :) Thanks! I think I'd be interested to hear a poem of "hope" set before Mario & Luigi's arrival during the height of Koopa's reign. Perhaps it's being "sung" by an unidentified spirit impl...

I've said it many times before and will continue to say it: it is no longer possible to make a live-action Super Mario Bros. film adaptation. It may be possible to make an animated adaptation, but the issues with adapting the property at all would still be too great. The problem with the series is t...

Welcome to the board, Foshi! It's good to have you around. Feel free to start a topic under Fanstuff solely for all the fan art you've done for the movie since you should get a lot more attention and comments for them that way. Feel free to post in any topic you like, no matter how old, as long as y...

Here are some of the other anime faces I couldn't post because of the forum's limitations. Daisy, I admit, looks more like Peach than the Daisy from the movie, but hey, at least I tried. They look just as good! It's fine that Daisy resembles Peach since, for all intents and purposes, the two charac...

Mutations Make Evolution Irreversible: By Resurrecting Ancient Proteins, Researchers Find That Evolution Can Only Go Forward I came across this interesting article concerning mutation and how it relates to evolution that essentially closes the door on "de-evolution." Basically, as mutatio...

Also, I was glad they changed the antagonist 's ridiculous plan in the book to a more practical plan in the movie...which is probably why Alan Moore is so mad-- Zack Snyder came up with a better plot device than he (Alan Moore) could. The antagonist 's plan in the novel is ridiculously awesome . It...

What do you think of the '87 film?

"Green Lantern-style effects" doesn't suit me. The He-Man universe, as far as I know, doesn't employ a vast amount of fantastical creatures or worlds to require that level of CGI. A remake could fare very well with mostly practical effects.

The graphic novel is vastly superior simply because its story is better suited for that medium. Everything is typically executed much better than that of the film, excepting for the ultimate climax. While awesome, it's pretty dated, extreme and full of holes. The film isn't bad, but it adhered too f...

Great to hear. Been pushing for you landing a job for a couple of months now, so it's good that it didn't go on for too long. (At least from my perspective) :) Hopefully your time away from the site will only be brief and we can return to updates of some form. That shouldn't be too difficult to hand...

I'd really like to see a prequel , so that we can find out stuff like who the original king was*, how Koopa came into power, how the Devo gadgets were built and what it involved, etc. Most importantly, it needs to address the question of how the evolved dinosaurs came to emulate humans. Did one or ...

While it may seem like the anniversary didn't seem to get a lot of posts on the 28th, a lot of us consider Memorial Day rather than the actual date to be the true anniversary. So, here were are finally looking back and paying tribute to the release of our favorite cult film! :D Be sure to check out ...

Early in the movie, the van used by the Mario Bros. passed a store named "Mr. Video III". "Mr. Video" was a name Shigeru Miyamoto considered for the character who we know today as Mario, according to an interview conducted a few years ago by Satoru Iwata, the president of Ninten...

moviemaker turned 27! Why is it that all the fans of the movie grew up in the '80s?

Nice work, SuperSmash! Love how all these faces turned out. They really do resemble the characters from the film, even despite the Face Maker's limitations.

Spotted a really cool spiked "reptilian" backpack via Geek Alerts last night. http://edgecastcdn.net/800034/www.perpetualkid.com/productimages/lg2/PACK-1002-BU.jpg As you can all see, the backpack is fabricated from black leather with a realistic scale pattern and healthy-sized spikes prot...

Couple of additional changes I wouldn't mind seeing: 1.) If at all possible, it might be better to show Lena simply screaming while utterly disintegrating into ash and swirling away rather than the undignified gasp then blast into the wall as a skeleton. I think this would be fairly easy to pull off...

Haha! I was frame-by-frame watching the movie a couple weeks ago and caught the same thing! I also spotted a guy wearing a Taz(manian Devil) jacket.

I think a short film continuing the story of the movie or at least featuring the characters in some way would be a cool idea, especially since we have a good resource of props and creature stuff to work with. However, that's just a dream until the concept proves feasible. Otherwise, the first ever &...

Nice poster. Very colorful. Fits the theme of "other worlds" very well.

To each their own.

Spotted this cool image on the TVTropes "What Could Have Been: Video Games" page:

Looking forward to whatever these plans may be. Phlibbit and I have our own, but they're pretty far-reaching so who knows if they'll really pan out. If they do, though, be ready for a ride...

You know what... I really like this idea. It just fits.

At least there wasn't a negative reaction. It's cool that your work was so well-received. Hopefully you two can find more opportunities to sport the costumes, perhaps for a site-related project.

Who doesn't?

People just can't seem to fathom that the movie has sincere fans. Just a week or so ago we were getting tweeted at by four different people, each stating that we were "delusional" and "likely autistic" for enjoying the movie. They called us liars when we said that more than one p...

I wouldn't want much changed, though I understand certain aspects of the world would have to be updated. There'd have to be cellphones and computers, for instance, which are the two things that really date the first movie (the payphone and devo machine console/display). While digital effects have ad...

I used to watch it, or at least parts, pretty much every day. Haven't done that in a few weeks, though. I'd say Phlibbit has us all beat out with number of total viewings.

I can't think of any, which is strange since I make a habit of seeking out any reviews and articles of the movie I can find. I've probably come across just about every significant piece I can, so I can tell you that positive articles are scarce. I can't recall anything like what you've mentioned.

What else are you looking for that the movie played into, regarding their characterization? The plumbing, the pizza, the whole Brooklyn-centric thing... those are the three which stick out in my mind, from the cartoons to the comics to the movie itself. --LBD "Nytetrayn" I don't quite rec...
