Finishing the Super Mario Bros movie edit. This will be the only version of the film I will ever watch and I hope others decide to add it to their collection as an alternate version from the original. The movie's got heart, yunno, there's a good movie in there, but it's surrounded by so much garbage. As I've been editing the movie, I've gotten to understand it more than I ever did casually watching it as a kid. There's quality acting, writing, production values. They really did have quite a good budget. But there's so many weird decisions in the overal look and tone of the film. It is what the crew said it was, a conflict between what the studio wanted and what the directors wanted. In the end, it's pure 90s, which is to say, it's awesome and weird. That's what my childhood was about, embracing crap like super mario bros and so I've decided to take the movie and make it my own version.
I'll be doing Chun Li next. I feel so bad for Kristen Kreuk. She's my girl. I grew up watching her for years, brother. I would have never wanted her to tackle chun li and have it end up the way it did. I mean, what a woman. Got in the best shape of her life, then got fucked by a shitty production. Welcome to hollyweird, eh...
I'm going to do what I can to fix that movie. Mostly getting rid of those shitty fireballs that look like ass. Good grief. Why is a movie like mortal kombat from the 90s still the only one of these movies that got the fire balls right. Hell, mortal kombat got everything right. Why didn't robin shou save the production during filming. He already got it right with MK, makes no sense why he didn't help save chun li.
I've got a little plan to save Chun Li. Going to attempt to increase the speed of her kicks to make it seem like she's doing the flash kick at some point in the movie... Don't know what else I can do... I honestly fucking abhor the way the movie opens. Never open a movie so DEAD like that. It kills the films momentum. I was just out of interest in the flick from the start, bad move.
I think I can use smallville clips to add stuff. I know there's a whole Lana training scene I could use...
Sadly there's no way to put her in the chun li costume. The BIGGEST AND WORST failure of the chun li movie. Wow. You have Kristen Kreuk, the most damn accurate looking chun li girl EVER, and she's in her peak fighting shape, and you DON'T put her in the costume at all during the film. Wow. That's why it bombed. I mean if it was just whatever it was and then she got the costume and was showing those legs and kicking and all kinds of shit, movie would have been ok... but they shitted all over chun li, and didn't even have the costume. Why is this a street fighter movie? I MIGHT be able to somehow put kreuk's head on the chun li cosplayer in some kind of dream sequence so that there is a snippet of her in costume in the movie. If I can accomplish that, I'll consider my fan edit a success...
Anyway, see ya later...
