A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It still continues to amaze me how popular the film is via podcasts, reviews and other events. Even our nationwide screenings have been far more successful than we ever thought possible. People are just curious even after all these years. You've now covered the film three times, but if you guys ever...

In other news I got a new job at Lowes as a truck unloader. Its really nice and suprising good pay. Hopefully next year ill be able to make it to a SMB screening. Great to hear! It's such a tough economy out there, so any of us are lucky to have found work. Take pride in what you do and you'll be a...

Even just seeing them on a much more open terrain really does a lot to make that scene so much more lively. So much of the film is just static locations, so opening up the climax would have done a lot. Reading your Tumblr I see that someone suggested doing the Big Bertha dance scene; I wholeheartedl...

Very nice! There's just something about the lines, scars and contours in Hopper's face that really makes him such a solid and alien character. He's absolutely perfect for the version of Koopa that they wanted to do.

It's cool to see that you actually do animate to some extent. I would be fully willing to commission an animated version of the movie, or even just an inspired short, if it wasn't such a demanding/time-consuming process.

Check our our Koopa > Creatures page on the site for behind-the-scenes stills of each of the four stages; perhaps you'll find inspiration there.

The great thing about the movie is how visually appealing it is; it just inspires you with its sets, costumes and creatures. Some of the best fan art for any film that I've seen has come from this one, especially considering how poor its popular image is! I think seeing Koopa in your style would be ...

From what I've seen Waluigi is definitely a very popular character among artists specifically because of his awkward figure. It just makes him that much more fun to draw!

Our Dallas screenings will be at midnight on Friday and Saturday (3rd and 4th) at the Inwood Theatre in Dallas. Hopefully you can make either showing!

It would be very cool for Mario to have some role in the film, even as a brief cameo, but I imagine it took quite a bit of negotations on Disney's part to even secure Bowser from Nintendo. Besides, if he were in the film I'm sure that it would have been leaked by now. However, as I've noted previous...

I can't say if any of the differences or improvements from the theatrical print compared to the DVD release is really a matter of it being widescreen rather than full screen, though I can tell you that the picture quality was incomparable. It was much cleaner and detailed with the color really 'popp...

I grew up with Nintendo, and Nintendonut1's been my sn since my ff.net days. I always have a PS2 and Xbox 360 tho, but I play those mainly for Spyro, Crash bandicoot, Gauntlet Legends, and Banjo-Kazooie. All classics of the Playstation era. Really, Sony hasn't developed very many properties since t...

No problem, man. Glad to hear that you're keeping up. Feel free to jump into any discussions you may have missed, no matter how old.

Well, we hadn't asked, but it would certainly be a privilege to showcase the piece and any future ones on our site under the Fan Art page.

Happy birthday, Ragey! You still have yet to become a regular member, but we appreciate the work you've done on the site regardless.

Only being able to enjoy it with three or four players was only my experience; I'm sure once you and your wife get into it you'll find it enjoyable in your own ways. It's just a game that requires more dedication and more than one board to get a proper impression as it's not as casual as the second ...

I'm glad that you're still thinking about this story. You've written far too much to simply let the characters not complete their journey. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Yeah, Phlibbit texted me yesterday while I was on the way to work with nothing more than "Horseshit." After asking him what was horseshit he explained to me the rumor about this sequel. I loved the movie as a kid and would love to see a sequel made, even if they couldn't necessarily get th...

Wow, that is amazingly well done. I find it remarkable just how well you captured the ethereal feel to the Fungus, which is never more apparent then when they offer a close-up on the individual spores. I also have to agree with Phlibbit that a fully animated scene would be very cool to see. People h...

What boggles my mind is when people interpret Mario and Sonic THEMSELVES as "bitter rivals" when the only time they've met in canon is in Smash bros and the Olympic Games. Which is a shame as the two companies could very easily come together and make an excellent game featuring both chara...

Great artwork. I always love seeing moments like this from the film done in such a stylized manner. You really have a great use of color that brings a mood to the characters, as well. I'm sure your upcoming pieces will be just as awesome.

Would you mind telling us how you found our site?

Love it! The Fungus is actually very popular with us in the community since it's just such a bizarre, creative concept.

Looking forward to seeing anything else from the movie you might draw, either in your own style or something closer to the film's realism.

Welcome to the board! Glad you could find your way here. I had a great time joining in and offering trivia for everyone, which is always fun when it's with people who love the movie just as much as yourself. Stick around and feel free to post in any topic you like. There's certainly a lot on the sit...

One thing that I didn't really get about MiB3 is the central conceit that K is somehow 'stern' and unable to find joy in life due to a personal tragedy. If you were to watch the original MiB it's plain that he's a very fun-loving guy and taking a lot of amusement in K's naivete and inexperience. Ser...

So whatever happened to that serum guy? Did he retire from moderating or just dissapear? Serum was dealing with personal issues that unfortunately led him to poorly handle his stress through the forums. He has since taken a break from the Internet to focus on his own life and is welcome back whenev...

I enjoyed it. Sure, mistakes were made, but we're not all diehard Super Mario Bros. (movie or games) fans here.

Am I the only one who had no idea that Samantha Mathis played Daisy's mother in the opening scene? It's funny, because in my experience most people either don't realize that Mathis played Daisy's mother as well or they think it was completely obvious and indicative of lazy casting. I mean, if so ma...

Well guys it finally happened. I finally over 600 posts as I'm typing this! It may not be a big deal to some people but I don't know I just feel good when I say that. Also I think it's now been 3 years since I first posted on this site so uh, cheers I guess? That's great! I remember when you starte...

Great GIFs. I really like how the question block is suited within the film's style.

I had a lot of fun doing this. Sequelcast invited me onto the show several weeks ago, so I had a fair amount of time to prepare what I wanted to talk about, but in the end the discussion was largely improvised. We covered many aspects of the film, from the original fantasy script to the nationwide s...

A toy preview reveals as many as ten new characters in the same vein as Silverman's Vanellope von Schweetz, suggesting a fair portion of the film may be set in the Sugar Rush game. This fills me with trepidation.

I didn't know where else to put this so I thought I'd put it here. My girlfriend showed me a post somewhere online saying, the Boo's in SMB, are actually all of the lives Mario lost in previous games, which is why they don't look him in the face. This makes a whole lot of sense, though not sure if ...

I've always been fascinated with how films come into fruition, particularly as far as unproduced and early scripts. That's a huge part of how I became involved with this site as Super Mario Bros. has such a long and troubled production. io9 has an interesting retrospective on the many versions of To...

I caught Men in Black III last week with my girlfriend for a late-night showing. We were the only two people in the entire theater, which was pretty cool. I had been wanting to see the movie for some time as I'm a huge fan of the first two, though I admit that I had my reservations. I hadn't read an...

That's awesome. The fact that it's shaped like a wrench is the one reason to really want it.

I wouldn't consider the original SMRPG to be very difficult; sure, compared to the Paper Mario games it's somewhat harder, but it's really just a matter of grinding early and equipping the right armor/weapons.

Actually they did confirm a while back that it is indeed Kahn. Remember its an alternate timeline guys so i am not suprised they would bring back an iconic character like Khan. Cumberbatch as Khan was never confirmed; it was only rumored by a "strong source." While there was no official d...

I think a third entry in the series would be a great thing. People rail on GBII a lot but, like Phlibbit, I really enjoyed it and I believe most others do as well. Sure, it's just "more of the same," but it's not any less fun or well-written. I'm sure a straight reboot could potentially be...

I just beat SMRPG for 6th time completely and I just want a Mario RPG in this style again. Nintendo and Square Enix really need to get back together and make a love baby that is SMRPG2. Even though that was PM original title. The Mario & Luigi series is generally considered to be the true succe...

Plus, in that scene, it's a group of video game villains that are having an intervention-type of thing. Still, it would be a shame if that scene is the only one where we see "real" video game characters. I want to say that 100% of the characters seen in the "terminal" portion of...
