Re: My Mario Bros. Costume "new pics 5/15/2011"
Awesome new photos, gboy! Glad you took my E-mail to heart and decided to stop by.

Re: "In which our critic embraces the Super Mario Bros. movi
Haven't read it yet, but at a glance, I see no mention of the site here. Still, good to see someone come to the movie's defense on a fairly prominent site. There's no mention of our site or any of the work we've been doing recently. I even called out the writer for it since io9 is on the same netwo...

Original Ending to "Election" Found on Unlabeled VHS
Much like the situation with Blue Velvet I posted about yesterday, it seems as if an original and vastly different ending to the clever Reese Witherspoon/Matthew Broderick film "Election" was found on an unlabeled VHS tape at a flea market. This VHS contained a workprint of the film with t...

Lost "Blue Velvet" Footage Found
I just read an interesting article linked by Jeff Goodwin via his Facebook on an interview with David Lynch on his film Blue Velvet . In this interview , David talks about the process in which footage was cut from a film back in the late '80s/early '90s and how, over the years--with the Internet esp...

The Cars of Super Mario Bros.
Considering all the work they put into making the cars for the movie (as per David Snyder's comments) it's good to see that the vehicles are cataloged by make and model on the IMCDb, seen here.

I've only ever played the original Star Fox on the SNES, but was never able to get past a few levels. It's a fun game, regardless. I'm curious about the developed mythology that they put together for the overall franchise.

It should also reel in people simply interested in the development of the...

This is actually a really great idea. In our as-of-yet unpublished interview with David Snyder he really pushed for a remaster and 3D conversion of the movie. While it wouldn't do so well if re-released into theaters, putting it on the 3DS would be a good way to push it out to a huge demographic. If...

Re: An interesting Super Mario Bros. Reboot Idea
I didn't care for Burton's Alice in Wonderland . It looked nice, if you're into that kind of thing, but he didn't really capture the nonsensical point of the original novels. Sure, there's a lot less to screw up with 'Super Mario,' but I still think that he wouldn't be able to capture the spirit of ...
