A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Hey, where's the Super Mario Bros. THE MOVIE T-shirts? :wink: Seriously, though, you're a really great artist. I love all these renditions and can see them working well on a shirt. The Mario design in particular has a really classic feel to it. I'm surprised I've never seen it before, but I would de...

I used to watch the cartoon series, but never really followed it too much. However, my brothers and I were big on the live-action movies. They're just good even on a purely technical level as actual films . That really helps them hold up even now as something that you can revisit as an adult and sti...

Posted my own comments: An Undeniable Cult Presence Super Mario Bros. really does have an undeserved bad reputation. People look at it and either remember it fondly as kids' stuff or as some assault on their childhood. It's not wholly like the games, so people figure it has no merits on its own. How...

Can you link me to Mushroom Madness? I'd like to see what the independent quality is like. You can check the thread for Mushroom Madness HERE . It's release was slated for the end of January, but due to delays we're now looking at something closer to August. Still, there's photos of props, costumes...

Say I was to go to America as a writer, would I need to be in the WGA? If you wanted to write for Hollywood-produced films you probably would. If I was director if my own projects, then technically as Director there is nothing to stop me rewriting/writing in that capacity? If your project is indepe...

Miyamoto talks Mature Mario I love to read interviews like that. Miyamoto is just such a sweet-hearted guy that every time he speaks you can really feel his love and passion for anything he makes. The Mario games really do have a lot of dark and somewhat mature elements, so it really should come as...

Companies will recognise it eventually and so I wish you so much luck in your endeavour. Unfortunately being in the UK, seeing any screening in the US is an impossibility atm, however should a London screening pop up, let me know and I'll be there =D A U.K. and Ireland screening are not entirely ou...

Well, man, I can tell you that the game does seem to have strength in its backstory. Despite being foremost a racing game the characters and their motivations definitely sound like they could hold together an actual story outside of the games, so you fleshing them out seems like a logical process. L...

Was not aware they were in a writer's strike during the first film, but I really don't understand this "obligated not to work" bollocks. If they chose to write than they probably would have been kicked out of the WGA. Unions have tricky politics in the U.S. Oftentimes they truly help the ...

We have a couple projects coming up that should hopefully raise awareness and interest for the film and ultimately generate funds, but that's still a ways off. Right now we're just focusing on these screenings. Our Los Angeles screening is being held at The Nuart, which is one of the theaters that f...

I'm not familiar with the F-Zero series. I know there's some sort of backstory, but nothing beyond that. Care to explain?

Also, that drawing is ridiculous. I would love to see the creatures from SMB in that style, though it would be cool to see any character done that way, really. Top-notch work.

It had an actual fantasy world with semi-accurate depictions of the game enemies. Pretty accurate, even if the characterizations were weak.

Star Trek 2009 certainly had its holes and weak moments, but it should be taken into consideration the the film went into production during the 2007-2008 writer's strike. Star Trek 's writers were obligated to not revise their work, forcing Abrams to direct what he had and little more. As you do ha...

We all (should) know that a sequel to groundbreaking title Super Mario 64 was planned for the failed 64DD add-on console, but was canceled for a variety of reasons before elements would appear in Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin and Super Mario Galaxy. For many, though, the original game stands as the d...

They weren't fired. They were just let go along with the rest of the production following director Beeman's departure. To me "let go" is just a politically correct term for "fired." I've been "let go" from jobs before, but it was always a firing-- I don't like the term...

Okay, how about Crash Nitro Kart? I recall playing the original Crash Team Racing on the PS1 and finding it far equal to if not much more fun than Mario Kart 64, but it seems like the sequel wasn't as well received. Still looks pretty fun.

Beavis and Butt-Head and Daria were two shows that I never really watched but was aware of because my older brother and sisters watched them. Very weird shows that you can't fully appreciate until you're old enough to catch the clever subtext.

Honestly, I thought that they had left out Luigi entirely.

There's no reason that the game can't have been inspired by both.

Yeah, I know, but weren't they also changing their minds constantly, and trying to push (against others) for a darker, more adult, less game-related version of the movie? You also have to remember that everyone signed on to make that 'darker,' 'more adult' version of the movie, but the producers/Di...

The closest screening to you that we have planned for this year would be in Wilmington, NC, but even that would be an 8-hour drive.

There really shouldn't be any difficulty in setting up screenings nationwide, but there simply has to be enough local demand to guarantee attendance.

Hmm... in this case, "George Lucas" = "Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel"... I am both scared and intrigued by the notion of them setting foot anywhere near the movie again... The film was essentially the product of actor improvisation, daily rewrites and the cinematographic visio...

You have a beautiful fiancee and daughter. Life has certainly happened to you in the best way, :) The Facebook page has been a good way to keep our absentee veteran members posted on our recent activities. We understand why you and others haven't been able to frequent and contribute so much lately, ...

I do have an idea though, while the people are getting into the theatre and waiting for the screening to start you guys should play songs from the movie and games, i could just imagine the people getting into their seats while "Walk the Dinosaur" is blaring on the speakers. Not a bad idea...

I will be driving down from the Sacramento area. I would be happy to pick up anyone interested in coming if they live along the way and can chip in for gas.

Well, I've ordered it online for under $10. The price is fair enough to try it out. Phlibbit's comments made me feel wary about the game, but were enough to make me want to give it a chance.

I've never played any of the games in the series, but I've certainly heard of it. You'd have to be living under a rock and completely unaware of gaming news in general to not know about Mother.

What can you guys tell me about Double Dash!! ? My brother highly recommends it and it seems like a good party title that my inexperienced girlfriend could get into, but I'd like to hear what makes it fun. Please keep in mind that I love Mario Kart 64 to death since it's just so perfect in its simpl...

You're right on the money, jka12002: Donkey Kong was developed by Miyamoto with direct inspiration from the Popeye cartoons. Apparently, Nintendo wanted to license the show into a game, but couldn't secure the rights. Miyamoto substituted the characters with similar archetypes that would prove to ha...

This is a very exciting prospect. It's what we've been pushing towards for years now. It's taken Phlibbit and I a lot of work to reach this point, but it's finally happening. As fans we should be proud to see the film back in theaters. I hope that all our members on the West Coast or that know someo...

Funny, since Koopa is already holding a walkie-talkie. He'd be holding two if you changed the flame gun/devo gun.

I like the overall concept but feel that the explicit references to the games in terms of physical coins (rather than just money slang) and items take it too far. This would work well with only a a few references to the games. I did really like the idea of Bowser being an abusive boyfriend. That rea...

Well I got a youtube account and channel. For some reason, my regular username 1upmushroom was taken. So I put in ClassicLuigiFan instead.And that's my name ClassicLuigiFan. Feel free to post any videos you might make. In other news, I finally own the movie on DVD. I haven't even after all this time.

Hey, sometimes you just got to show it done right otherwise people will believe there's no quality alternative.

I think they're remakes. Anyways, they're still not cannon in the Mario Universe. As a series without focus on story then none of the games are 'canon' by any traditional sense of the word, so you have to look at them in terms of how they fit into the running themes of their predecessors. Paper Mar...

One of the best systems ever put out, no argument. Brought us into the 64-bit era with such classics as Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. Platformer heaven as well as party central for anyone with three or four controllers. However, a severe lack of games. Far too much vaporware and ...

Dye it black. It doesn't look bad as thin as it is, but darkening it should help.

Why are Koopa and Bowser considered different characters? I realize that the design of the character shifted until it finally settled, but I'm not sure if you can find any suggestion canonically that they're not the same person.

Rewrites can be good and have been known to focus a project, but overall you need a strong vision of where you're going. Stick to that and make the story itself secondary.
