Who wanted to star in the Super Mario Bros Movie? Which actor knows why The Amazing Spider-Man 2 sucks? What does Stan Lee want us to lobby for? How many minutes was Godzilla on-screen?
I’d love to hear what you think of the Internet’s greatest moments in
this week’s “Geek Bits.”

We’ve written quite a bit about the disastrous Super Mario Brothers
Movie but a new book, Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation
explores some of the making of the film. /Film has an excerpt and it’s
pretty wild. Did you know Dustin Hoffman really wanted to play Mario?

Yes!!! Make that Nightwing series happen. Big Teen Titans fan.
I don't think the second Spider-Man bombed, but it was not as good as the first.
In retrospect Bob Hoskins probably wished Hoffman had got that role. A Nightwing series could be cool. It seems DC is really spreading their shows around. They'd have shows on CW, Fox, NBC, and TNT then.
The Titans show does sound good and I wonder the same thing. DC is missing focus.
Yeah bombed might be the wrong word.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 "bombed," I think, because it was a downer. Peoples like their Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to be, well, friendly. (This is not to say I have suddenly stopped loving it myself.) That and everyone still seems to be having a major problem with this reboot, probably because the Raimi films were amazingly (heh) successful.
LOL well said Tony, it bombed in my mind.
