          Magnet links, surf shark or Trust.Zone if you don’t mind slow torrent but both are cheap as all hell.

          Tixati or Qbittorent. I used to love uTorrent until it turned to shit.

          dude you gotta get on the online pirate media streaming sites. Bflix, Sflix, Putlocker, soap2day etc etc etc. we’ve come a long way from the Limewire days. i used to have a whole Plex server and hundreds of files with subtitles, box art, descriptions, all hand curated over 100s of hours. Now i just use free pirate clearnet streaming sites

    Sometimes it feels like I’m the only person who legitimately liked the first Super Mario Bros movie. I would regularly rewatch it when I would see it come on tv before I eventually recorded it so I could watch it whenever.

      If you haven’t, I’d recommend watching the Morton Jankel cut. It restores some cut scene segments and improves some of the pacing as well.

      It’s not great, by any means, but it’s a guilty pleasure. You can laugh at it and, in rare moments, with it. The kind of movie drinking games are made around.

        I’ve come to peace with the fact that I’ll laugh way more watching a movie like this or “The Shark Side of the Moon” than any serious comedy. And I mean like belly laugh, not “lol” laugh.

        There’s a sort of delight in watching a scene that you just know someone said after the nth take “good enough, we’ll fix it in post.” And forgot that the post processing budget was a pack of beer.

        I loved it, my parents took me to see it at the theatre I was 10. I remember seeing the end where they teased a sequel and i waited for years so excited. I’m still waiting, I’m not giving up.

      Not only do I like the movie, I showed it to my 13-year-old daughter and she liked it too. And she did not like the new one (I didn’t see it).

    Saw the 90s one in theaters as a kid and I loved it. It may have failed the box office and the critics, but it diddnt fail me!

        That one was terrible. You’re not aiming for greatness when your big star is the almost mute liquid Terminator guy.

        Street Fighter has to be the undisputed king of rubbish 90s videogame movies.

      I was a teenager when I saw it and I loved the aesthetic, I loved and still love Bob Hoskins in anything, and the movie had Mojo Nixon in it! Plus, Dennis Hopper gets to chew the scenery. I love it still.

    Hoskins and Leguizamo were apparently drunk from start to finish.

    I watched it a few years ago, and it’s bad, but nowhere near as bad as you’d think.

      There’s an interesting fan edit on the web with a bunch of deleted scenes added. I guess Disney came in at the last minute ( like literally a few days before shooting) and butchered the script to make it more kid friendly. The actors and director were understandably pissed and pushed back but Disney always wins. They ended up with all these gritty looking sets and a kind of goofy dialog that just didn’t match.

      It’s a bummer because it seems like there were some really cool ideas in the original story.

    Interesting enough, the old Super Mario movie was the premise of the Some More News movie. It’s a little out there and references past episodes of SMN, but when they start landing the references and comparisons, it blows your mind!

        Oh yeah, it’s a thing. I am on my phone or I’d find the link to it on the YouTube. One thing that has stuck with me from that movie is the comparison of old apocalyptical/grim future movies of the 80s and 90s and the fundamental way they differ from similar movies of the last 20 years or so.

        I don’t want to ruin it cause Cody and the team do an excellent job getting to that point, but it’s a nice payoff!

    To be honest, I love both films. Bob Hoskins was the perfect personification of Mario, IMHO. John Leguizamo, not so much, but I still enjoyed his portrayal of Luigi.

      I like the original despite Leguizamo because I never liked him- that is until he guest hosted The Daily Show a few months back. He was incredible.

      ok, hear me out, watch the super mario movie, then the movie Pest, then Spawn. I bet you’ll think the movie is good.

    The animated one was fine but completely forgettable. The old one I’d rewatch in the future.

    The events of the new movie wouldnt really have changed if Mario wasnt in it at all.

    I turned off the new one when they got to the Rainbow Road, can’t say I enjoyed it up to that part but that’s when I felt it was an advertisement not a story
