Check Out This Mario-Themed Park in Japan

I will always admire the Japanese people for their great attention to detail, their faithfulness to the source material, and their ability to breathe life into fictional characters and places. Check out Japan’s Super Nintendo World, which is Nintendo and Universal’s upcoming Mario-themed area for Universal Studios Japan.

There’s just a stunning attention to detail. Coins rotating in sync! Hidden pipes! A menacing Pirhana Plant! A stack of Goombas! An angry Thwomp! Yoshi!! Every time I watch the video, I see some clever new feature that I had missed before.

And to give you a better idea of how Super Nintendo World compares to other attractions in the park, here’s a zoomed-out photo showing the Harry Potter-themed park nearby:

Now that right there is just pure dedication.

What are your thoughts about this one?

Matinee (1993) is a great film along the same lines. All about mocking bad 60s movies, with all the seat-buzzers, "RumbleRama" and other effects theaters tried using to avoid obsolescence to TV. Just happens the film is being debuted in Florida right during the Cuban missile crisis, which makes for a strange mix of topics, and a great, one-of-a-kind film. Starring John Goodman. Try not to confuse it with the other films using the same title.
