Sure — every time a movie releases that fails in some respect everyone who points that out that should ring up the studio and demand they be put in charge of a remake. That’s asinine.

While some (even most) of the Mario games at this point are very forgettable calling the games at large “middle of the road children-focused fare” does them a disservice. Super Mario World, Mario 64, and Mario Odyssey are all master piece platformers with Sunshine and the Galaxy series being far above average games.…

And yeah, it’s a kids movie. There’s references and jokes that will make the parents chuckle, but that’s it.

Having a game studio step in and say, “Make it worse!” has rarely been a reason not to complain about a movie.

No movies have to be very good. No movies have to be anything.It’s just nice when movies are very good!

Children deserve good movies, too.

Certainly the complete polar opposite approach of the Mario movie from 30 years ago, with the cast actually getting drunk during filming.

I think people were expecting Shrek or the recent Puss in Boots. A movie that kids could enjoy and adults could as well. Not a movie explicitly for kids and not really anyone else. 

I’m not offended by kids movies being purely for kids, but I don’t think that needs to be an excuse either. Shaun the Sheep is delightful nonsense for a kid or an adult.

That said, I’m still looking forward to taking my kid to see Mario and I am sure I have sat through far worse.

This spin of this article is so weird.

Right, he wasn’t being a diva or anything. Clearly, the people making the film said “ok, we want Donkey Kong to sound like Seth Rogan” and moved forward. If they had said “we want someone to do a voice” then I don’t think Rogan would have begrudged them for going with someone else.

Yeah, Seth says “I dont do voices, you’ll get a DK that sounds like me”
Producers: You’re hired!

I don’t think he was ‘making demands’. He said ‘This is how I do my voice. If this is good for you, then cool.’ Blame the producers, if anyone. Seth was just upfront about how is performance would be and they still hired him despite that warning.

“the company didn’t have any knowledge of the vehicle being stolen”

I have very little faith in Carvana, so I am going to say less with other dealerships. They may actually look at the car more than the guy Carvana sends to pick up your trade in. The fact that the dash plate and door VIN didn’t match tells me that they didn’t really look at the car at all. 

I’m curious to know if and how often this happens at traditional used car dealerships, either knowingly or unknowingly.

Note that “Steve” never said what side he was on in those civil rights protests.

“I’m still the same idealist, but online crust punk ‘anarchists’ made fun of me one time so leftism is clearly the problem here.”

There are plenty of dancers of south asian descent around LA. The problem is that not being able to fly out the OG dancers on what appears to be unusually short notice (which is also super-suspect), they apparently didn’t even fucking try. They could also have found plenty of south asian dancers that in India itself.…

Do you folks get tired of thinking people are fooled by randomly picking one out of the three canned responses you have for everything, or is this another of those “making a joke” things where you type through your tears and then say you made a joke?
