A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It's nice to see one of our members attend the screening. In the end, this is really just for us. If even just a few of us can see the movie on the big screen for the first time it'll be worth it.

So how did the NYC screening go? We've heard back from Michael Criscuolo. He said that about 40 - 50 people came for their showing on Friday and that he was able to share a few thoughts on the film before it screened. No one talked to him or Shawn afterwards, but it was late and people were tired. ...

Thought that Joss Whedon talking of his failed pitch for a Batman reboot would be of interest here. According to GQ , Whedon was approached to pitch a concept for a new Batman film, but was rejected for one reason or another. It was a while ago, between the day-glo Joel Schumacher sequels and the Ch...

Yoshi is the one true gimmick in the franchise? Miyamoto has said himself that they didn't implement Yoshi as well as they had hoped and it somewhat shows. I enjoy Yoshi as much as the next person, but I can see that they haven't utilized the character very well since his original appearance. It's ...

I would be seriously pissed if the latest rumor that Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Khan is true. That would be terrible, terrible casting, not to mention blatant whitewashing of a clearly Indian character. At least Montalban had the excuse of acting in a time when you were either white or an extra...

Interesting Yes, but why? People like actual critique so that they know how they can do better. Your comment doesn't inspire discussion and that's a real shame because 1up works hard on his writing. It's a great start to a story, though I feel there's a lot of redundancy at work. The word "sui...

That's interesting. I hadn't noticed that before, though it does seem likely that there would be different sizes. I'm just not sure why they would bother to do so for the production or even just for the graphics.

I do like this game but it really can't beat SMB3, to me I think its because of Yoshi. When Yoshi first came out he was a great character, looking at him now, I think he is a very trashy character and I do not like him. Yoshi really is probably the one true gimmick in the franchise. He worked for h...

Personally, I feel that the sequential numbering is no longer relevant. While with the original three games you could definitely see a progression in themes and playstyle, the Mario games have become something more. There's no real progression. Each title is largely stand-alone and enjoyable for its...

I like it. It says a lot more about Luigi's situation with no words than could be conveyed any other way. It's funny, well-shot and the effects are pretty well executed. I can see more from this.

According to /Slash Film , Wreck-It Ralph will definitely feature "Roger Rabbit" style cameos from classic video game characters. The released line-up includes: * Bowser from Super Mario Bros. * Doctor Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog * Kano from Mortal Kombat * A Ghost from Pac-Man * Zangi...

People say that the Mario games have had no advancement, either in story or theme, but if you examine each they really have evolved into something new with each iteration.

It does have a whole universe that feels a lot more alive than the earlier games did. I agree about the atmosphere and style. Playing the earlier games you sort of get a feel for a mythical land, but it's nothing more than a surreal adventure. SMW actually immerses you in a real world with living en...

http://www.mariowiki.com/images/f/fb/SMWPic.jpg The one. This is what got me into the Super Mario games. I used to play this game all the time, easily getting through all 96 exits for 100% completion. I just loved everything about the game, from it's fun enemies to the dinosaur theme most prevalent...

Yoshi's Island is such a completely random addition to the Advance series, too.

They already messed up with the Advance series of re-releases. SMB2 = 1, SMW = 2, YI = 3, SMB3 = 4

Yeah, they'll probably end up releasing "New Super Mario Bros. Wii U 2."

I've seen that before and actually privately messaged the artist, but completely forgot about it since he never responded. Nice to be reminded of it since it's a really cool, professional work.

Not bad. I think the Piranha Plants and Fire Flowers are my favorite objects from the game to be reimagined since plants really are some of the most unique organisms in real life.

Don't hold it against yourself. It happens. Just need to keep that passion going on the backburner so that you can return to it whenever you're ready. Just keep yourself around. It's nice having you contribute in any fashion.

A re-release coinciding with Mario's 20th also made perfect sense.

You may be one of our youngest members, AngeloThomas, but you're also one of the most mature and articulate. It's been a joy having you here and experiencing your conversation.

There unfortunately aren't yet, though they did just release a teaser poster:

I actually saw this at he-man.org, I tried looking for the thread to post in here but I couldn't find it anywhere even searching for it. That's a really good documentary, it's a shame WB turned down a special DVD release, but atleast the doc will make a bonus feature on another DVD. Speculation on ...

Pity you didn't schedule anything in Brooksville Florida :( I really wanted to go to a screening but can't get anywhere near those places. We wanted to hit the key major cities of the nation, so we unfortunately had to exclude a lot of places where we just weren't sure we could muster up enough sup...

I just read about this yesterday, so it's news to me. I don't particularly care what they call the game since I know that, as a Mario title, it'll be good. Besides, the sequential numbering system for game titles is a very dated practice. I'm surprised that Nintendo still attempts it with Mario sinc...

Looks like our New York screening has been mentioned on The Mushroom Kingdom's blog!

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/screeningHeader2.png Our first screenings will be on April 27 and 28 at the Sunshine Cinema in New York City . Both screenings are being held at midnight and will feature special guest speaker Michael Criscuolo , who will be available to answ...

What does everyone feel about Pixar's next upcoming feature, Brave? It's their first "princess" story as well as their first female protagonist. It just looks absolutely gorgeous. The story and characters aren't too far off the mark either.

I think they're also taking some plot threads from that film for use in the Avengers, mainly the fact that Banner is beginning to have a little more control over the Hulk. I love the Banner character so much and Ruffalo is definitely a great actor. Something about his mannerisms and movement is jus...

I wholly disagree. Thor is probably one of my favorite Marvel Studios films so far. I had absolutely no expectations for this and it managed to blow me away. Great, great film. Don't get me wrong, I love it as well. My impression is that most people, audiences and critics alike, seem to have found ...

I have asked just about everyone I know on these forums and off if they have both the experience and interest in contributing, but not very many fit either category. At best, we're looking at a $1,000 price tag to get the site overhauled professionally. We're just not willing to do that at this time...

The higher picture quality in this release really does make it that much easier to spot all these little things that we couldn't otherwise. It just demonstrates how much is really going on in both the background and foreground and how much work they put into making the world as real and lively as po...

It took about a decade and quite a few misfires, but Marvel comics are finally getting some good and often clever film adaptations. Outside of the early X-Men films, it seems the most popular movies are focusing on the Avenger heroes. It's certainly an interesting prospect, since that means the upco...

I thought I'd post screen-captures of numerous little things I noticed in the movie after Roareye did the same from the high-quality Njutafilms release. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3497/vlcsnap2011032616h58m37.png The band logo for The 'Saurs, which were meant to be played by The Red Hot Chil...

Well, UE5K, there hasn't been an adaptation so far that's REALLY close to the book. About the only four very important and well-known adaptations I can count offhand are: the 1939 original, The Wiz , Return to Oz , and Tin Man . Actually, there had been six adaptations of the Oz books (not necessar...

I remember hearing Jim Carrey was gonna be Curly, but he's way to tall. Then I heard Johnny Knoxville was gonna be Moe, which would have been perfect since he would have been perfect for stunts. But I think the cast they got is perfect. They look just like the original stooges. I really don't agree...

Sounds like a lot of work you're doing. We really appreciate it. Surely it'll come together into a very informative and encompassing article for the Video Releases page. I'm especially liking the comparison to the UK release since we don't have a lot of information prepared for that either. It shoul...

I hugely enjoy and respect classic comedy, from Our Gang to the Three Stooges. This movie just feels me with dread with the blatant disrespect.
