Confirmation of on set drinking whilst commiserating over the shitshow during production:

“Bob used to get special whiskey sent from England—single malts—and we would drink those copiously in his caravan.” - Fiona Shaw (Lena)

      It’s the gritty psychedelic dystopian cyberpunk movie we didn’t deserve. Nintendo had no idea how to produce a movie and just let them run fucking wild. Hollywood should be encouraged to take more chances. Fucking electric bumper cars demolition derby style car chase. Dino-people. Devo (the concept not the band). Psychic fungi. And all the other fucking weirdos. It’s not even awesomely bad, it’s badassly awesome.

      What’s most surprising to me is how closely the latest animated Movie Bros. movie followed the very broad strokes of the plot of the original, like a sanitized and fully kitsch commercial reboot, which is kind of appropriate for the world we live in.

        The over engineering of the bumper cars was fantastic, i get high and can’t stop pausing my rewatch to talk about those cars every 30 seconds. Fucking awesome

        Wait, Is this a negative comment or a positive one?

        As someone who enjoyed the weirdness of the 1993 movie, I absolutely loved the new animated film.

        I don’t even think it’s terrible. Just really weird.

        I haven’t seen it since it first came out when I was just a little angryseal. You fine folks have convinced me that I need to see it again.

        I loved all the video game movies as a kid. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Mario. I loved all the cheesy cartoons too. You guys talk like little kid me missed something here.

        Oh, and for fun because I can’t bring it up without doing it.

        MWORTAL KAWMBAAAAT! Deet deet deet doot doot deet

          I had the same experience on my first watch through. I was just angry that I didn’t get anything like a reasonable Mario’s Brothers movie.

          It was a rewatch when I discovered how badassly awesome the film is.

          I think I was watching it with a friend, on a dare, to see who could tolerate more. Or maybe it was just a weird re-run night where nothing else was on. Or both.
