MW. Super Mario Bros. The film not the game.

Was I one of the only people on the planet to like this movie? I admit I was young at the time (7 I think) so most of it went over my head. But it was still a good movie right? Actually I haven't watched it since I was 7. But I do remember enjoying it a lot.
When a movie is based on a game it normally flops. Super Mario Bros is just an example of this sadly, but the reason is quite clear for this. They don't follow the games story. Think about it. The Super Mario Bros movie actually has a decent story line. The problem is that they try to merge that story with the Mario franchise. Bowser is not a evolved version of a T-Rex. Nor is toad a reptile. Could you imagine if they made a Live Action Pokemon Movie but instead of catching them to battle, they were invading and you had to catch them to send back into space? Sucks, don't it?
Another example of this is the Tomb Raider movies. Both movies stick as close as possible to the games. And both movies are very successful.

Just to take my point further, I want you to watch the following clip:

Now if you were to watch that clip without the Mario-ness. The Bomb-Bomb, the names, the gun that looks like a SNES Super Scope (well make it a different shape at least) etc. that you would of had a decent movie.

It's times like these where I wish I had the skill to make a movie. Maybe that's not it. Maybe I just lack the movation. What ever it is I know that if I was to make a Video Game movie I would show every one excatly how to do it. Keep the main charaters in, do an ocassional refferance to a sub charater, try to get as many items as possible into the mix and the most imporant thing of all, KEEP. TO. THE. ORGINAL. PLOT.

Koobs Cos Play of the day. Mario

Yeah there are gong to be a few of these over the next couple of days. But I took a lot of photos at the MCM expo. I might do one massive post with all the photos but for now I do one at a time.
































What is up with this guy's chin hair?
If you're going to dress up and do cos-play at least do it right. It's made worst by the fact that it's ginger. No offense to ginger people, I love orange, but Mario has brown hair. Full stop. This guy needs to shape up his cos-playing. For shame.

Animated Wednesdays:

The final one of my ideas for the Guaranteed Three. Animated Wednesdays is as the name suggests about animation. Any type, Anime, Flash Animation, Manga, the list goes on.

I been searching the web to find an animation that will do this first post justice. Now there is good news and bad news. Now the good news. I found a REALLY good animation. The bad. It's on Newgrounds. That means that I can't embed the flash video. But if you click on the picture below then you will be taken to the animation "Legend Of Miyamoto". Just click on "Play Movie".

So what do you think? You know this really happened to Miyamoto in real life. Actually it is now officially the reason of where he got his ideas of (at least on this blog it is).
The flash is well edited and the syncing to the music is incredible. I miss Fat Boy slims old stuff. I hopes he makes another classic like Gangster Tripping soon.


Well there you have it the beginning of my Guaranteed Three. Hope you liked them. And now for you, the readers, to help be decide how I will do my future posts. Now that you know what the layout is going to be I would like you vote in a poll. It's as easy as that. All I ask is that you click on what you think and submit it. Also if you chose "Other" please post what "Other" is as a comment to this post. I will carry on the Guaranteed Three for another week until the end of the poll and obviously depending on the outcome I will carry on or leave it.

Also don't think that the random posts will stop. They will carry on just I'm not saying that they will be every day. A guy needs a break once in a while. Anyway I'm rambling as usual so I'm gonna go. Toodles.

Mario get a Queer eye for the straight guy

Ok so it's not Mario. It's a fire flower. But could you imagine what Mario's clothes would change to if he did grab this. He wouldn't be throwing fire balls just in case it burns his cuticles. We wouldn't want that now. Then again it could be a good thing. Could tell peach that she need to try a colour other then pink.
I think I've got too much time on my hand if I'm doing crap like this and the one man band like yesterday. Oh well I don't think anyone is complaining. I hope.
