A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I find that when you're creating characters you have to at least give them some of your own characteristics and life experience. Trying to write for a character who has absolutely nothing in common with his/her writer is just going to be a dull pain in the ass to write for! I agree. I've always put...

I don't even like the Star Wars original, so I detest Spaceballs all the more.

We wish him and his family all the best and hope for proper treatment in this time of miracles. Remember him for the man he was as he always will be that man. This changes nothing about who he is or what he has to offer in life. Please also drop any idea towards interviewing him on the film. It's ov...

This is certainly an underlying theme to the film, though I believe it was far more developed than the political message. It's a shame, though, as you never really get a complete transmission of either theme in the theatrical cut. The film could have benefited from a more definite throughline.

I've always been a fan of time travel stories if they're done well and did enjoy Mario's Time Machine, so this concept could be fun. It's perhaps to story-involved for a main series game, but you never know.

I don't cosplay, per say, though I do love Halloween and typically spend some time on costuming with my girlfriend each year. That has yet to extend towards a convention of any kind.

I like it! You've improved quite a bit, especially in regards to your dialogue.

I like the new characters. Their personalities are defined, though their introduction appears somewhat random. This could be handled a lot more interestingly than just having them brought into the room without any reason.

'Concur' means "to agree with," which the rest of your post suggests otherwise.

The Dallas screening is over! Now all we have to look forward to for the year is our two midnight showings in Denver, CO. Stay posted!

We appreciate the sentiment, but our website and work simply is not notable at this point. Without proper citation it cannot be mentioned on the film's page, let alone have one of its own. How many websites have their own entries on Wikipedia anyways?

"Dance with me. I'll hit you all you like."

I love Big Bertha's character so much. She has so few lines, but the chemistry between Roberts as her and Hoskins as Mario as undeniable.

Sega SYSTEMS are dead. They still make video games. But either way Sonic is my childhood hero. And Nintendo is just sh!tting all over him. Sonic can be an amazing asset to Nintendo but they just turned him into a Novelty. If a company that once made major consoles for video-games to played on doesn...

Not a problem. As 1upmushroom said, our members often have periods of inactivity. Most of us are well over 18, so between work and relationships we just contribute when we find the time. Still, you've been very inspiring with this topic and have really revitalized the Fan Works section. Your presenc...

Just watched Batman Begins for the first time. Phlibbit has been riding me about this for years , but it was only just now that I was able to get the film and sit down to enjoy it. I must say, I really was missing out on an excellent hero's journey. Bale's arc as Bruce really is strong and well told...

Happy birthday to both Merwolf and Peach Blossom! Hope we see you each back soon!

Also a great. I love that scene at the Boom Boom Bar. But then Lena just had to come and snatch the meteorite piece! The Boom Boom Bar actually had a cut sequence in which Mario and Luigi would duck and weave through the dancing crowd in an attempt to match the movements, all while Iggy and Spike r...

The Fan Works forum is especially lively with such discussion, though those topics typically focus more on personal imaginings rather than serious speculation on the potential sequel. I recommend checking out the following topics if you're interest: Modern Sequel Thoughts - Discussion on how a moder...

/Slashfilm posted a 50 Things You Didnâ€™t Know About Disney Animationâ€™s â€˜Wreck-It Ralphâ€™ article with several new images. Here's some of the points that I found especially interesting: 1. Wreck-It Ralph has 188 unique, individual characters, more than any Disney movie in history. Normal Disne...

Nice to see you move your posting from Youtube to here! We're a small community, yet a very devoted one that is always growing. Make yourself at home and feel free to post in any topic you like, no matter how old, as long as you have something to contribute. I'm sure you will!

I am so glad that you posted this! I've had vague memories of this movie for years, but never knew enough to really track it down. I'll have to give it a watch sometime and let you know what I think.

Trailer for one of the most high-profile reboots coming up, Total Recal : sWMhADqlPYg I see potential in this. The set design is certainly appealing, though I honestly get Biel and Beckensale confused. They really should have made one of them blonde. They also had footage up for the long-delayed Red...

oh then this'll be a bit of a problem, I gotta get a family member that can do that for me, because I cant You can try thrift stores or other outlets. Surely one place nearby might have the type of clothing you're looking for. It doesn't even have to be bright red as burgundy or another shade might...

True, but when they're marked as the chosen one, is seen as strikenly beautiful to all characters, have many god like powers, and add to that, no flaws at all, then I'd consider them to be annoying and one dimensional. Like I said, characters of myth and grand stories typically fit most of those tr...

A "Mary Sue" type character isn't necessarily bad; take into account the most well regarded characters in fiction, such as those in the works of Heinlein and even mythology. If the character has a strong enough motivation and a journey that moves towards it anyone can be interesting. It's ...

this is wonderful. I just retweeted it from SMB Archive's twitter and shared it on facebook. I wonder if Mojo recently recorded this whole song or was it recorded back during filming? Thanks! Hopefully this song gets some good exposure. Mojo certainly deserves that! I wish they would release the fu...

What character artwork are you planning next?

1. Why was it so much more practical for Koopa to be a human then a dragon? It's far easier and less expensive to have a human actor portray a character then to put him in a full-body suit or utilize CG that, at the time, simply did not exist. You also have to consider that actors are hired for the...

Oh, really? Clearly you haven't seen Gremlins!

It's funny, actually; I was just thinking about how they might have handled 4-foot tall Goombas in the film and Gremlins did come to mind. I think it could have worked!

Ah, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over a "less official" pair of Thwomps. Any pair of Thwomps is better than no Thwomps at all. Our main concern is whether people would be as interested in an unofficial replica pair insofar as donation incentive or fund-raising. An official replica pair ...

You're right. The topics have been merged.

Like Prime Evil said, it's largely wish-fulfillment. It's the prospect of leaving your own mark on a universe that you love. To feel yourself involved in the story. Why wouldn't you want yourself to be a wholly good and quite competent character?

Someone (Serum, I think) posted in the Italian Cut thread that the King's revival and "Love those plumbers" comment is a plot hole. My question is, in what way? My thought is that the merging of the dimensions caused a surge of radiation to blast through the city's power grid, re-evolving...

I quite like it. While the art style is certainly dated to that of popular '80s/'90s manga, it's still an unusual take on the property. The art direction is superb while the characters feel different enough to make the story hold together outside of the "silent hero" pure archetypes of the...

What's the difference? Is a kingdom not composed of different cities? A kingdom is a political construct, not a geographical area.

The $1,000 price range was a quote from a professional friend in regards to a complete visual overhaul. I imagine someone who does it for a living, professionally, would charge a lot more than just a technically inclined person. We're mostly just looking for a streamlined look with full integration....

Because a 4-foot tall enemy wouldn't be particularly scary.

What I mean is basically everything. Like Dennis hopper was only suppose to be on set for 5 weeks. But he ended being there for 17. How the directors didn't know what they were doing. Executives meddling in. The people who quit. Any BS that came from Nintendo you name. But I think the biggest quest...

The story "Apt Pupil" in the book "Different Seasons" is excellent, the movie, which I'm pretty sure was either made for TV or direct-to-video, I did not care for. It didn't capture the essence of growing up with the Nazi and it didn't even come close to portraying the evils tha...

Leguizamo actually had a mustache while promoting the film. He doesn't look half-bad:
