Buried treasure

First Mario movie is definitely worth a watch. Just don't be sober.

I loved it as a kid. Next time I see it will either be through beer goggles or nostalgia goggles, or both.

Last time I saw it was on 5g of mushrooms and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

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!

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.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

So avant garde and ahead of its time that we still haven't gotten to the point where it's actually good

[–] blazera@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

So, The Wizard part 2: Nintendo Boogaloo?

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It's really subtle, but there are little ads for all manner of Nintendo products hidden all over the ... Super Mario Brothers movie.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Nintendo's Mario franchise. Zero substance movie.

Not OP btw.

I tried to watch it on a flight recently and didn't make it through the first repair. I ended up finding something else to watch entirely

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 10 months ago

And where's the comparison?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where does Super Hornio Bros fit?

[–] Ghost33313@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Next to the ark of the covenant in a warehouse.

Goombaaaaaah!-

"Genociding" isn't a word.

[–] paholg@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

Verbing weirds language.

[–] shea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

everything that people say is a word, and if it's said enough it ends up in the dictionary. unless you're editing a professional paper for grammar and spelling there's no point to be made here. everything people say is a word. you understood what they meant, didn't you?

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I guess the years of learning grammar and being tested on it were waste, then. As long as I can barely glean intent, then its fine.

[–] stringere@reddthat.com 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

~~then~~ than ~~its~~ it's fine.

Sorry, rolled Chaotic Evil on my comment reply alignnment chart.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the correction.

See how easy that is?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

This sounds like reductio ad absurdum from a monoglot. Try living in a culture where you need a foreign language and you'll begin to see the levels of nuance in understanding speech.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you need to specify "capitalistic". Everyone is "capitalist"

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Everyone is "capitalist"

What.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Its true though. Even in 1984 there were shops selling goods
