I remember that Morton and Jankel are former pop video directors, but that didn't prevent Edgar Wright, Spike Jonze and (IMO) McG from directing decent movies.

The problem with Mario Brothers was that the pair had little affinity with the source material and turned what should've been a colourful mushroom-filled workd into a dark and grim 80s dystopia because that's all they knew (cf Max Headroom pilot).

Still - claws out, Bob, eh?!

 

[Helen Keller]

He's taken his time to say this hasn't he?

 

[Bill E Bee]

His hatred for Super Mario appears to have mushroomed over the years.

And besides, how the hell would you turn a 2-D scrolling platformer into a sensible movie anyway? I would've said knackered from the start.

Bob, c'mere...




...IT WAS 14 YEARS AGO YA PLUM!!!!

 

[Onerom]

Come on now Bob....it was always going to be a 'Look at the pay cheque, don't look at the script' film.....

Surely dressing up in a red plumbers outfit and tache couldn't fail. How could he have possibly known

 

[Charlotte =]]

Hehe - I quite liked it... It was exceptionally silly.

And Samantha Mathis... *sigh*

 

[The Black Rabbit of Inlé]

Yes and we have been kept in the dark about Bob's feelings for it, and there was me thinking he was a fun guy.

 

[V-Z]

Well now there's been an eruption!

 

[Venba]

John Leguizamo's dissed the movie as well. 14 years after going to see it I STILL want my money back.

(Tragic footnote: One of the movie's writers was eaten by a shark a few years later.)
