[QUOTE="Mark, post: 284997, member: 5"] [b]Re: Vin Disel panders to the DND. :)[/b] He may have been picking up a (small) bag of Dwarven Forge expansion sets. Ok, ok, at a WotC store. It may have been any number of extras beyond the core books. He's got more cash now than he knows what to do with, picks up a bunch of things he doesn't have (minis, even) and gives what he doesn't like to his buddies that next time he plays. I think the phrase "pandering" conjures up more negative conotations in a lot of minds then positive. Remember, a large portion of his Action Movie audience is made up of sports fanatics (some of us play D&D, too, I know) and a lot of them might write him off after hearing that news. Or, if not write him off, lower their estimation of him a notch or two. I know that a lot of the folks I have known who are big into Action movies and sports don't even bother with Sci/Fi action flciks, barring T1 or anything Arnold pumps out. Forget about Bruce Willis if he isn't a cop (12 Monkeys, and the like). So, ultimately, I highly doubt this is some ruse to try and woo the gamer crowd. I have my doubts that unless a movie is directly connected to our hobby, that anyone would go out of their way to try and woo us. Interesting thought, though. I asked in the other thread (before Mistwell baited some folks into a debate about Vin's level of stardom) what the project might be, with my speculation edging toward the FR series rather than a movie. I don't think that another movie with the D&D brand attached willl happen until they've tested the market further with the FR series, and I think it would be wise for them to get someone like him to lead the cast (or be a big part of it). My two cents... :) [/QUOTE]
