A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

What I find most interesting is that Disney was able to license characters from Nintendo, which must have taken a lot of negotiating and bargaining. So far we've only seen Bowser, which is a great addition, but I'm very curious if Mario or at least other characters from the property will make appea...

I've always liked the concept of Ghostbusters "franchises," which they did really well in the cartoon series. A Japan-based team would allow for a lot of cool exploration of Japanese/Asian folklore and ghost stories, which are often very creepy. However, I'm just not getting a real Japanes...

Here it is:

I wish elements from the movie would cameo a lot more in works like this. The movie Goombas are just too cool a design to not exist in other universes.

I'm sure we can look into showcasing one of the toy cars!

Next time we hold a screening in the L.A. area you should come.

We've known of this channel for a few years now. I believe it's actually how Phlibbit first came in contact with her in regards to an interview, which was something we could never really coordinate. You might recall that we once had an "upcoming interview" topic for her, but it was unfortu...

Here's a review I wrote for Super Mario Bros. the rec.arts.movies.reviews newsgroup back when I was 13 or 14. Both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes link to it, which is somewhat embarrassing. I'm going to quote the whole review because it's short. I'm less harsh on this film now than I was when I was 14! I...

Huge fan of the MIB films, even the second, so I'll be sure to check the pdocasts out as soon as I can. You guys always seem to be a lot more forgiving, or at least understanding, of less than well-received films, so I'm sure it'll be an enjoyed listen. We also have 2 spin-off shows: Sequelcast Spec...

We finally have not only some more promotional images but also a trailer! btB8tb8fLYM Many of the nods and jokes are done very well, even if it doesn't yet look like it'll come together in a polished fashion. One can only hope that there's real cinematic value here with a satisfying ending (Ralph ge...

I hate to double-post, but it seems the film's 25th anniversary was last year and there's actually a push for a Blu-Ray re-release from who else but Joe Quesada of Marvel ? They've put together a funny video personally appealing George Lucas ( Howard the Duck 's producer) to begin work on a re-relea...

There was a Nintendo direct conference, and it said that in the new SMB game there will be a flying squirrel suit for Mario and inflatable Yoshi, which sounds like the same from SMG2. E3 is this week so there will a huge update of both games coming out. They always have fun and inventive power-suit...

Yeah, it's definitely the 'Joker grin' stage. The artwork from the back of the packaging actually depicts Stage II, though, while the mask appears to be a slightly more de-evolved version of Stage I.

That is indeed his name. Mr. Christy has agreed to both wrote an editorial for the site on his relation to the toyline as well as provide many photos of each sculpt, particularly the unused alternate Koopa face. I have already seen it and, I must say, it's pretty cool.

You mean the Advertisements page? It seems to be working fine for me. I contacted ERTL myself last year and seemed to find a lead, but never received a call-back. I completely forgot the person's name, so they didn't know who to direct me to each time I called back. It's just as well since they only...

Well, if we're talking dream castings than 1upmushroom very well could have meant '80s Cruise as opposed to '12 Cruise, but that should have been specified. I can easily imagine '80s Cruise (Legend-era) as Link.

Amazing find, billbot! I've already contacted Mr. Christy in regards to his work on the line, so hopefully we hear back from him soon and have something special to share.

I don't think I have this problem. Typically it does take me awhile to get back into the swing of an older game's mechanics, but generally not too long. If anything I question how it was ever so difficult to get beyond points that may have taken me hours to do so before.

We'll keep in touch. If we do hold a UK screening it would be sometime in July with us planning as early as January.

It would be wonderful if you were able to fly in for next year, especially since we're planning on booking Leguizamo and others, but we'll also have to look into international screenings. We'll just have to see what happens.

Not bad. The dialogue is actually synced with the lip movements and body language rather well. Not an easy thing to do.

It's not a particularly rare item, but it doesn't become available very often. I would have to add that, at a $0.99 starting bid, it's definitely a steal. If the price stays down I'd recommend getting it.

Watching the movie in theaters for the first time really brought home just how many great lines the movie has. I don't want to list them all, but one that always makes me laugh is "Dance with me. I'll hit you all you like." That is just good writing.

Happy birthday, moviemaker29! We hope that knowing your loan of the boots at our L.A screening was such a hit will only make your birthday celebrations all the more enjoyable. Hopefully we can see you in person next year and give you early birthday wishes then!

The kind hosts here at the Archive invited me to come to the screening after seeing an blog post I"d written about the movie a while ago. Here's my coverage of this weekend's screening. We're glad that you could have made it! You may not like the movie as much as the rest of us, but we appreci...

I was under the impression that 1upmushroom was conceiving this project as if it was produced back in 1993, which was a time when cartoons weren't renowned for the seasonal plots and developments of cartoons today. The show likely would have been episodic.

That is so cool! Are you thinking of pursuing a career in acting or would you see yourself more as doing marketing with the occasional bit role?

I've thought before about how an animated series would have been a great continuation of the film's themes and concept. Even just introducing certain sci-fi/dinosaur elements into the Super Show cartoons would have been cool. However, considering the state of cartoons at the time I don't think we'd ...

We had an amazing time at last night's screening! We filled nearly 190 seats of 300 with 157 paid tickets and around 30 additional special guests from the production, including David L. Snyder, Dana Kaminski, Brian Jennings and Parker Bennett. That's more than half the seats! Ryan flew in from North...

This is perhaps the best place for this: last Thursday was my two year anniversary with my girlfriend, Chasity. I was able to get the day off, so we drove over to the Bay Area for the day. We first hung around Berkeley for a couple hours, which has a great downtown location. Fat Slice has really goo...

First of all, please do not post after yourself. You can easily edit your last post to add to it or just wait until someone has responded. I have taken the liberty of merging your sequential posts, but please try to avoid doing them in the future. :P As for the story, I personally feel battling each...

I could've sworn that we had a topic that already covered this, but I can't seem to find it. (Perhaps it was trimmed?) Anyways, the 404 pages are simply due to content not yet being added. We have so much material that it's difficult to know when to put up and where. Just enjoy what we currently hav...

There's a strong difference in the industry between Doctor Who episodes produced in the '60s and a tentpole blockbuster owned by Disney in the '90s. Yes, there's still a strong chance that this footage was lost or no longer survives, but circumstances are very much in our favor. We can have hope for...

I really like this concept. It seems to be a logical continuation of where the first film left off while also incorporating my elements from the games in ways that really work. I applaud you for putting together such a worthwhile story, so I only hope to see more from you!

Great to have you around, Movieguy. I've seen you've already made some posts, which I appreciate. Just jump right in and get the discussion coming!

I hope you fulfill your dream of becoming a filmmaker. There can never be enough talented minds in that industry.

Also, why HAVE people compared Sonic with Mario anyway? I mean it may seem cool at first but logically it doesn't make much sense. Both are platformers, and both have reconizable characters but that's it. Mario was about jumping and taking time. Sonic was about speed and not losing momentum! The tw...

Anyone else have a vhs collection that's still expanding?? Probably not. I still love the VHS format, so if I see an older movie I like I'll pick it up. Thrift stores and indie markets like Rasputin's in Berkeley, CA are good venues for finding old films for cheap. You can even find complete boxset...

Great to see you here, BowserKpa! This site and all we've done really couldn't have been possible without your efforts in creating and running that old Yahoo group. We like to think of ourselves as the film's biggest fans and advocates, but you were there first when it seemed far less likely there w...

Well, after a long break I decided to finally give Mario Party 3 another chance. I struggled for months to get the game off eBay for a fair price, but had to keep raising my price limit until I finally broke down and bought it for $30. I must say that I had a much more enjoyable experience this time...

Sorry I ain't been talking much lately, I'm sure RedStar may already know (i.e. after seeing my Facebook posts) but sadly I had a bereavement: on April 12 I had to have my very first Persian kitty Blinky put to sleep. RIP my sweet baby boy :cry: I'm sorry to hear that. The loss of a pet is always l...
