Am I the only one who thought the "Super Mario Brothers" film was fucking awesome?

I'll be honest; on first watch, (at the age of eight) I fucking hated it. They raped a great series. Triple-penetration style.

At the age of thirteen, I watched it again, just to see if it was as horrible as I remembered. Loved it. Instead of concentrating on its similarities or lack thereof to the video game series, I evaluated it as an action comedy, in which capacity the movie was excellent.

Seriously, is there anything funnier than a fat, balding plumber going clubbing and trying to pick up an overweight, nasty black woman wearing a "whore's uniform" (thank you, Dave Chapelle) and biting her breasts every so often?

And how cool was "de-evolution"? Or Bowser turning a prominent politician into a monkey?

And how great were Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and the actress playing the princess?

I think the movie suffered because too many fanboy kids (like myself) expected to see a direct translation of the game to the screen, while older audiences avoided it on general principle.

Mario Brothers film >>> Spiderman series

Please tell me this is either an elaborate joke or you just snorted enough coke to kill a small elephant.

No thanks.

Neat fact-

Did you know that "Armageddon" was a pioneer in the "chick flick action film" genre? The only good thing about that disaster was Steve Buscemi, who makes every movie he's in several times better.

Alas, even Mr. Pink wasn't enough to save that trainwreck...
