Yeah.

And look, if it puts some smiles on faces, it entertains some kids, it gives parents time to take a break.

It makes Nintendo a mountain of money so the company can keep making great games.

Wonderful.

Everybody wins.

There's no downside.

I think it's just that my appreciation for my reverence for Nintendo's creativity.

just makes me want more.

And maybe I'm getting a bit greedy, and I understand that.

But I just want these movies to be as special as the games that they're based on.

And maybe that's a tall order, right?

And I should just accept them for what they are and enjoy them for what they aren't to some degree.

I do, and I have.

And again, you know...

don't put in the newspaper that I got mad about the Mario movie.

I almost wish that I were mad about the Mario movie because that would meant that it provoked some strong emotion in me.

You know, it's just, it's hard for me to imagine really loving it or hating it or feeling much of anything about it.

And I'm sure that many people do and I don't want to diminish their feelings.

And if you really love these movies and cherish them, then I am glad.

I'm not mad.
