Re: Movie Theater Memories: Part 2!

I've never watched the Spawn movie, but it was playing during the summer I worked at the movie theater, and it seemed like I always came in to check the room playing it at the part when the clown farted. So as far as I know, the whole movie is about a clown with bad gas.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 2: Music vs. Music

The SMB2 opening theme might not be a remix of the underwater music, but it's close enough that I think it was supposed to be a take on it. Speaking of which, the ending theme to Super Mario World seems heavily inspired by the SMB2 overworld music. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it, but I generally prefer the SMB2 music to its Doki Doki Panic predecessors. It seems a little more complete.

Isn't there a stopwatch character in Diddy Kong Racing?

And FF characters can generally survive things a lot worse than a sword in the back. Nuclear blasts, for instance.

It's both. "Young men in college always have to take their medicine, one way or another," observed the Wizard, with a smile; "and, as our Professor says, these School Pills have proved to be a great success. One day while I was making them I happened to drop one of them, and one of Billina's chickens gobbled it up. A few minutes afterward this chick got upon a roost and recited 'The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck' without making a single mistake. Then it recited 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' and afterwards 'Excelsior.' You see, the chicken had eaten an Elocution Pill."

The stories in the instruction booklets, probably. Some of them were pretty elaborate considering what actually happened in the games.

The plot of this book is like one of those "Would you press the button?" memes. You get to go to the magical Land of Oz, BUT you're accompanied by a lunatic clown who posses everybody off.

Notta doesn't bother me as much as he does a lot of readers, perhaps because this was the fourth Oz book I read, and I never had an issue with clowns. His insistence on always remaining in character has to reflect some sort of mental illness, though.

I think Betsy Bobbin has been getting fashion tips from Daphne from Scooby-Doo, or vice versa.

The Wizard being calm was a plot point that was never explored. I have to wonder if it was just stuck in because Neill had already drawn the picture. Same with the very brief appearance of the Tin Woodman in the palace.

That would make Adventure of Link a lot easier.

No reference to when one of Billina's chicks recited the poem?

I've never played it either, but I think Loom was another game from the same publisher. In Maniac Mansion, there's a skipping record that plays a few notes of the theme from Loom.

Maybe Baum got the idea from W.W. Denslow, who actually DID buy an island.

It's not like they ever mentioned Mega Man being human in later episodes.

I know they cut that verse short when they did the song in "A Claymation Christmas."

Hey, aren't those two Toads from the Super Mario Adventures comic in Nintendo Power?

We all know it was the fault of Dirk Gently, trying to prevent an alien ghost from going back in time and making it so life would never develop on Earth.

I can't speak for "people," but I thought my sarcasm when I said I was unimpressed was pretty obvious. I guess not. Anyway, have fun on your vacation! I've always kind of wanted to go on a cruise, but never have.
