i am going to do my best to honor the man by pointing out that mario brothers was his biggest regret and he probably wouldn't want to be remembered for it
The movie might be one that never should have been made but him being in it was the one thing that kept the whole thing from turning into an unwatchable pile of trash.

To be fair, I believe he specifically had a problem with the making of that movie.
In that it was a thoroughly unenjoyable experience through and through, including constant on-the-fly script revisions, miserable conditions, and even getting his hand broken. The fact that the final product wasn't well received after going through all of that didn't help.
But I don't think he's ever had a problem with people remembering that he was Mario. I may be wrong though.
One of my co-workers just told me she's never seen Roger Rabbit or Hook.
She was never allowed to watch them as a kid, and as an adult she just "never got around to it."
Mind: Boggled.
edit: She has seen Mario Bros, though, and was saddened to learn that Mario Mario had died.
I remember seeing Hook on a math team trip and thinking them rolling the tubby kid into bad-guys was pretty much the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life. It's a movie that ages well simply because you see it from a different vantage point when you're a grown up with a family.

Tell her it's responsibility to see Hook and Roger Rabbit asap.
I really liked Ghostbusters II, but that's because my parents felt the first one was maybe a bit too scary for us so that was the first one we saw.
When I was a kid, the painting of Vigo in Ghostbusters II scared me more than anything in the first movie.
More than the bathtub scene?
With the cute, pink blob of hand-soap that tries to gum that baby with it's toothless mouth? I tried to re-create that scene with shampoo several times.
None of them touch the librarian ghost from the beginning of the first movie to me but Vigo was pretty spooky.

Yup!
Seriously, one time I accidentally paused the tape by hitting the VHS remote with my foot, and it paused on a perfect close-up of the painting, which was staring right back at me. I wanted to hit play, but I literally couldn't move because how how terrified I was. It took like a whole minute for me to muster up the courage to run out of the living room.
After that, everything in the first movie was downright adorable.

I've been thinking that when I have a home and can make a "man-cave" area I want to hang this in it.
It is still unbelievable to me that Roger Rabbit got made. It's such a marvel from every angle.
It's a period detective movie set in postwar Los Angeles
made in collaboration between major rival studios
which uses cutting-edge animatronics and practical effects superimposed with hand-drawn animation
which deals with racial inequality during the Hollywood boom
and the corporate takeover of the transit system.
Yeah the same amount of celebrities as ever is dying. Unfortunately, we're right at that sweet spot where the 80s was 25 to 35 years ago, which means that people who acted in the movies you grew up loving are now 45 to 85 years old. I imagine every generation comes through these years and it sucks ass.

I have a great love for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Super Mario Bros. though
I should watch one or both tonight

Artists often disown their own works, sometimes ones that are even very enjoyable
I legit love Super Mario Bros. and Hoskins' portrayal of Mario in it
I don't think it's disrespectful at all to remember him for that
Doesn't stop me from loving it nearly as much as the original.
Lloyd just looks perpetually 70.

Those movies are fucking classics.

The scene where his face starts to press out of the painting near the beginning creeped me right out.

I was terrified, but couldn't look away from the scene.

I also didn't hate him in the Jet Li movie "Unleashed".
God yes, specifically the effect of him wobbling on the floor immediately after picking himself up.
That was some Freddy Kruger shit.

This freakin hurts.
Just this second realized he's literally looking daggers.
That movie.
