Howard's never been the Nintendo type. He always gravitated more towards arcade games and Playstation, indulging in a steady diet of Ratchet & Clank, Mortal Kombat and Spyro as a kid before getting an XBox when he was eleven. Still, you don't make it to your teens in suburban America without being at least passingly familiar with Mario.
This is not Mario. This is Bob Hoskins dragging Mario's name around through goo and talking mushrooms and 'goombas' that look like what would happen if someone decided to make club bouncers out of pleather handbags.
"Does Princess Peach just not exist in this movie?" Howard asks, choosing between whether to start devouring popcorn, a slushie, or gummi worms.

"Who's Princess Peach?" asked Zouichi, staring dubiously at one of Howard's gummi worms. The 'Super' in Super Mario Bros. seems to suggest that they're superheroes of some kind.
Re: Super Mario Bros: The Moviei_sell_drugsOctober 23 2011, 18:23:10 UTC
Oh boy. So Zouichi's not even getting the full impact of why this movie is so awful. Well, aside from the fact that it's just objectively awful, with an incoherent storyline, terrible acting, and dialogue that would make a ten year-old cringe.
"They're videogame characters, not superheroes. They're plumbers who travel through little green pipes to eat mushrooms and jump on giant turtles who kidnap Princess Peach. And sometimes they wear tanuki suits, which I guess are sort of like flying raccoons."
Howard goes for the slushie first, having successfully explained the totally logical and coherent world of Mario to Zou.
This movie was...definately not like any of the (albeit, few) movies he had ever seen. It was actually just...boring. Horribly, mindbendingly dull. What did some nuclear family's vacation have to do with fate or whatever?
"Maaaan, humanity's little thing with the concept of 'masters' is starting to creep me out~" Caz gave a fake shutter, before actually turning to Zou, having the common courtesy to tilt the brim of his hat out of his face.
"My place is full of junk, and that little vacation planet got me a bit distracted from things~ You?"

Diana had chosen to see Rubber after only being mildly surprised to find the main plot did not seem to be about some teen falling pregnant by some split condom

Howard also has his stack of Sensoriums food, although since he's been here longer and has been able to get a little more used to the idea that you don't have to devour everything perishable as it presents itself, it's a little bit of a smaller pile and thus can sit comfortably at his feet.
He is slightly weirded out by how not weirded out he is by the psychic tire. I mean, whatever. Supposedly they had a sentient puddle of blood aboard the ship for a while.
He's not even quite sure where to start making fun of it.
"How can the tire hear the person begging him to blow her head off? Tires don't really have ears."

While stupid, this was a hilarious movie to Alendian. Why? Because the human military is just this incompetent and she agrees very much so. Every time some disgusting craft of a war machine was destroyed, she cracked a smile but kept up a straight face throughout the rest. After all, it was still ridiculous and she could swear she could defeat those things in a one on one fight. Eldar were just that cool.

"Nope! It's gonna be the octopus," said Allenby as she vaulted over a few rows to land in the seat next to Atom. She managed not to spill the giant slushie. Normally she hated Sensorium food and Sensorium everything, and she'd be spending an extra-long session thinking hostile thoughts at Stacy today, but... well she just couldn't resist. "Too many arms for a shark to deal with."

"Are the Super Mario Brothers also X-Men?"

I mean for God's sake it starts with this animated sequence.

"...You know," he said, "In history class they said this was a horrible tragedy. Oh, and rap hadn't been invented yet."

He just... couldn't look away. It was horrible.

"Doesn't that mean it wouldn't have heard the police sirens at the beginning?"
She shook her head, popping a handful of pick'n'mix into her mouth. "Which would pretty much stop the entire movie from happening."
