D&D Movie/TV Chris Pine is making $11.5 million for D&D movie

[Henadic Theologian]

Yep, and they used tropes and stereo types common enough that the audiences were able to understand the characters and their motivations within minutes of them showing u on the screen. Nothing wrong with that. No reason a movie has to be deep and complex with characters that take decades to decipher

Agreed.

Spinal Tap is only 82 minutes for goodness sake.

And one of the dumbest movies ever made. If it had been longer, it would have been even more dreadful.

I mean, you remember the incredibly terrible Netflix movie Bright? The one which was a weirdly racist whilst trying to be anti-racist boring version of Shadowrun? Terrible movie, right? Netflix paid $3m for that. It's in the top 10 most expensive scripts ever. Money doesn't buy good scripts. Hell, in the top 10 most expensive scripts, literally the only big hit is Basic Instinct.

Not to derail the thread, but I liked Bright. I've never played Shadowrun so, if it was supposed to be based off of Shadowrun, I had no preexisting expectations to be disappointed at not being met. Also, don't know if it was popular enough to justify the cost of the script, but I don't think it was a terrible movie.

Your contempt goes up to 11.

Well, funny how the Library of Congress, critics and award voters didn't take your opinion into account when it was given awards and considered so significant as to be included in the national film library.

This made no sense to me, until I noticed the rating on IMDB. Any idea the story behind the out of 11 rating for the movie?

Comedy and horror do tend to run shorter, but that's regardless of anything else - Spinal Tap is only 82 minutes for goodness sake.

But nevertheless Spinal Tap has about 2 hours of deleted scenes on one of the DVD versions I own. So they had everything they needed for the ponderous 2 or 3 hour cut, they just thought better of it.

Uh, you've seen the movie, right?

It's part of one of the biggest jokes in the movie. That they turn the volume up to 11.

I had not noticed that before. That’s fantastic!

This has to be a joke.

People mock the transformer movies online because it's trendy, but they didn't make Billions with a long shot to go mainstream IP for no reason, they had to have done something right beyond explosions. They were fun, heart warming movies.

The only 2 good Transformers films was the 80s cartoon one and the Bumblebee one. The rest are Idiocracy’s “butt farting on a screen” level of entertainment. Big robot go boom!
