Watch it without sound. It makes it 90% more bearable, and at that point, kind of intriguing. I'm half tempted to watch again and try and figure out some kind of plot (at least the characters). As far as a semi-cheesey fanatasy movie trailer, i'd rent it when it came out on DVD, provided that song wasn't anywhere in it. I have to say I really wish they actually made more high fantasy movies. I really REALLY wish the reason they didn't make more of them was it seems difficult to make them no suck.
A five minute fake Europop video. The guy is from LA!
That's why I had it in quote marks- anyone can do europop, you don't have to be european to do it.
Just like you don't have to be black to do rap (thank you, Beastie Boys) or a caucasian male to do metal (thank you Dir En Grey, Doro Pesch, Tony MacAlpine and others)
But you still make an excellent point- its not even europop made by real Europeans...somehow, that makes its triumph over the D&D movies that much more...embarrassing.

Did you perhaps produce "Don't Fear the Reaper" by BOC, loading it with more and more cowbell?

Come on, who doesn't love Snails?
Snails as escargot are awesome.
Snails as Marlon Wayans doing his best Chris Tucker impression is simply horrible.
Forget everything you read in the other thread, THIS is what should be made into a RPG.
My favorite moment: when he opens his blouse and his torso is pure light.
My other favorite moment (although I might have imagined it): Quasi-nipple-slip when the red-head is running at about 1/3 of the video.

Glad to see you guys still haven't lost your humor.
I still think Lordi channels D&D more. I mean, I voted for them after all!

I take it that you never opened up a D&D book and looked at any of the character images?
It's also more accurate than other D&D movies in that it fluctuates from medieval to Victorian to .. That period... Of the tri-pointed hats and pirates and all that stuff..Age? I've never seen an accurate portrayal of any particular time period in any D&D campaign before.

I don't remember who said Lordi should do the music. That is simply wrong.
Blackmore's Night should do the music. Ritchie Blackmore's history as the guitarist/composer for Deep Purple and Rainbow means he could bring the thunder when needed. His current band with Candace Night means he can bring authentic or quasi-authentic ballads to the table as well.

After further consideration, I'd like to add Austin band, The Sword, to the list of bands that should be on the soundtrack.
1) They have mythology/sword & sorcery themed songs, like "How heavy this axe" and "The Maiden, the Mother, the Crone."
2) The lead singer plays D&D. He said so in an article in Austin's local press. Putting him and his band on the soundtrack would be like giving back to the community, and you know he'd be so geeked up about it, he'd deliver a killer tune.
