[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 284843, member: 1016"] [b]Vin Disel panders to the DND. :)[/b] I know everyone is excited about a "cool" guy dong DND, but I think there is more going on. (and I didn't want my opinion swamped over how cool this or that movie was) Besides, why would a real DNDer need to buy $800 worth of stuff he should already have on his book shelf. Right now, Vin "brand name" is that he playing up a "I could be anyone" image. One of his first demo tapes was called "Multi Facial" where he demonstrated his ability to do seterotypes from a Italian mafia guy to a gangbanger. He was also featured in newspaper article that basicaly said that leading men in movie are getting more diverse. Now picture this ... He sees the Scorpion King and says "Yeah, I could do that." (it's not hard to imagine the man's voice, is it?) He's made his own movies, he probably wants to do it again. If he could make it a franchise, even better. He sees the SK's modest profits and figures it would be worth it if he could make a similar movie. He also knows part of SK's profit margin came from the built in WWF fan base for the Rock. He wonders how he could garner his own built-in fan base. Then pehaps he saw the decent returns on the first night of the DND movie before word got out that is was lame. Hmmmm. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. His decides to use his "I could be anyone" image again by saying "Look, I play DND! Come see my fantasy movie! My own DM even wrote the script." And his DM is the writer? More like his writer is his "DM." Besides if he was in the know, he would have heard that words "movie" and "DND" don't work well together. Am I serious? Sorta. Sometimes though I think we gamers need to get over our self-image issue and go. I on the other hand fully belive that Diong is a gamer and I am camped outsider her house on a wireless laptop right now. (about that self-image issue -- I take it back :) ) [/QUOTE]
