I don't really have a lot of faith with that movie for a few reasons.

I remember back when I was reading an issue of GamePro back in the summer of 1995 they were doing an interview with Christopher Lambert and he did say he felt an advantage that Mortal Kombat was going to have when we were going to get the first movie was it was going to have a strong, focused plot with characters that feel well-developed. There was also the idea that because it was an American game that was being adapted into an American movie, a lot less translation was necessary as opposed to trying to take a Japanese game and try to make it into an American movie.

If they were to do something like... Earthworm Jim? That could have worked. Because like Sonic he does have a goal that he wants to attain while feeling like he's a character with a solid personality. You have something solid to work on and makes for a movie that will be worth time and effort.

The problem with trying to take Super Mario Bros. and trying to turn it into a movie is it doesn't have a concrete plot and Mario was always sort of a static character. It serves a background where you're trying to save a princess from a turtle-dragon hybrid but you're playing the game because it's fun, not because of things like plot twists or character development.

I also recently re-watched the old DIC cartoons that were made from the late 80s/early 90s and they definitely don't hold up.

I bet it will make money, being that it's Mario and Illumination is a studio that gets a lot of good publicity. If it turns out to be good anyway, well great and I stand corrected, but I'm not having high hopes for it.

And then there is also this:

Random Fact #4500:

If you want to be president in the United States, one rule states that you must be at least 35 years of age.

The reason why this rule was put into place was in an attempt to curb the country being run by father-son dynasties.

Random Fact #4499:

A poll was taken to find out the most popular holidays in the US. The results were that the most popular was Christmas, second most popular was Thanksgiving, third most popular was Halloween.

In light of his recent passing, I'm listening to Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise".

I am Belchic. Right now I'm getting back into watching 101 Dalmatians: the Series and Darkwing Duck. I also am going back to Dinosaurs and Adventures of the Gummi Bears.

I've been binging on my new Disney+ account and I gotta say I like it so far. Really like it.

There's all the animated films that exist towards their canon, side projects that are also very popular, shorts, holidays specials, that's well worth it for me.

Then there is also the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, the Pixar movies, the Muppets movies, the Star Wars movies, their cartoon series that they made starting with the Disney Afternoon... definitely a good thing to have.

Then again, there is also some stuff that Disney got in their purchases, like what they now own due to the fact they now own 20th Century Fox and all the Blue Sky movies. I'll say right now, I just HATE what they are doing to the Simpsons.

Still happy with what I have. My movie for tonight is the new Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers!

Very nice Mizan. I like them all!
