8/8/11--Exclusive Parker Bennett Interview

[Phlibbit]

If you couldn't tell by that big banner staring you in the face:

* Our exclusive interview with screenwriter Parker Bennett is now live. It's one of our longest interviews and there's a LOT of great content, photos and sketches in there. Check it out and you'll (hopefully) get a much better idea of how Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel's concept was translated into a screenplay by Parker and Terry.

* Obviously, we're trying out a new website design! It's only on a few pages for now, but if all goes well the entire site should be converted soon.

* Our social media links are located on the upper right banner of the screen--note that we now have an RSS feed if you're into that sort of thing.

* And finally, we're running a little contest to win the following:

A SIGNED COPY of Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America by Jeff Ryan!

To enter, email me and tell me why you like the Super Mario Bros. movie. I'll accept responses up until Monday, August 15th. After that date I'll pick my favorite response, post said response on the site, and get your info you can recieve your prize!

The build-up to this update was intense. We've been working towards it for months, with several schedule slips making it seem like we'd never get it up. But, we finally did it. Phlibbit put more work into this single update than for any one that came before. It was worth it.

This update garnered us quite a bit of coverage and enjoyment — Phlibbit will provide the numbers later — from many sites, including some we never expected. So, please post and show your appreciation! Phlibbit deserves a pat on the back for everything he does for us.
