    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    ★★

    This is not a Mario movie—it’s paint-by-numbers animated slop full of that horrible self-aware quippy “Welllll THAT happened” type humor, with occasional Mario game references thrown in. They couldn’t even get the music right. How much amazing music has there been throughout all the games? And how much cool Mario lore is just out the window since they made the guy from fucking Brooklyn now??? They ruined basically everything that was fun or interesting or unique about the games by sticking it into this focus-grouped garbage. If they do this to Zelda I will lose it

    Is there a better performance than Sheryl Lee in this film? Honestly.

    This film came out of the ass-end of a Tarantino human centipede. I can’t think of a more overrated film in the last decade

    Sort of torn with this one, because at first the slightly self-aware, distanced, meta tone of this film kind of put me off, and the beginning was a little slow, but then about halfway through it really started cooking and I was hooked. Some really awesome stuff in here that I don’t see others doing, especially with regards to capturing the saturation of media/entertainment in our lives, and the way the filmmaker uses this theme to explore identity and gender…
