Just a little something I've been thinking about as of late:


1. Should a new live-action Mario move be made?
2. Why or why not?
3. Who do you think should direct it?
4. Why?
5. What actors do you think would be cast?
6. Why?
7. Do you think it would be a success?
8. Why or why not?
9. Would you see it?
10. How many Toads does it take to screw in a lightbulb?


1. Absolutely.
2. They've made every comic book into a movie; I think the time has come to give video games another shot. Mortal Kombat did well, Doom did well, Pokemon is still doing well... I think it's time for Mario to return to the big screen.
3. Steven Spielberg, no doubt.
4. Come on, it's SPEILBERG! What can't he do?
5. & 6. Mario: Robin Williams - he could probably do the voice perfectly, and he's about the right height...
Luigi: Somebody tall, cowardly, and with a sweet 'stache... I'd say David Arquette might work.
Toad: Short, scrappy, a troublemaker... Jason Acuna comes to mind.
Peach: Tall, blonde, a tomboy at times... Uma Thurman is a possibility.
Bowser: Someone big, with a scary voice and a definite mean (though comically ineffective) streak... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be pretty funny.
(Pretty much the worst casting ever, I know; it's late, and I'm low on ideas. So sue me.
7. Yes.
8. Computer animation, costume geniuses, expert puppeteers... It'd certainly be a lot more like the games effect-wise and hopefully storywise, as well - straying from the storyline we all know and love is what really sank the last one.
9. Abso-****ing-lutely!
10. Four, all standing on each other's shoulders. Little runts...


OK... next?
