Quote from: Rev. Powell on May 23, 2026, 10:22:09 AM73. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

just went down a strange deep dive and found out Mario's original name was 'Mr. Video', inspired by.... Alfred Hitchcock? (that's enough Mario origins for today)

I always heard he was Jumpman. But I also thought it was the same as the Jumpman from the Atari game and that apparently turns out not to be the case.

LA MAISON ENSORCELEE [THE BEWITCHED HOUSE] (1907):
This is a good, weird, fun six minutes of Meliesesque mayhem. A woman and two utterly bizarre-looking men (who appear to be wearing plasticine noses and conehead-like skullcaps) attempt to vacation (?) at a haunted house and get besieged by (sometimes excessive) stop motion antics orchestrated by a truly freaky demon/poltergeist. (It looks like Gary Oldman as elderly Dracula but add 300% Drag Queen.) Of course everything looks creepier and crazier in washed-out 120-year old filmstock, but the grand finale is a legit showstopper. This is probably the best/most entertaining early silent haunted house live-action short I've seen  :teddyr: and I've seen a few.    3.5/5
