    Gods of Egypt is horrible

    I saw the trailer for this, and concluded it was an overbudgeted b-movie that would be good for a rental whenever I need a laugh. But man, this clip makes me think it's not even guilty pleasure material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kkS_JDBg3Q The effects already look pretty cheap, but...

    The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

    Interesting. Well, I guess if they were going to do away with the whole race thing, casting a great actor like Elba was a no brainer. I'm just glad it wasn't someone like Will Smith. Regarding the series itself, how is The Dark Tower as a fantasy? I've never been a fan Stephen King's work so...

    The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

    A question from a Dark Tower noob. I've never read the series, so I'm no means an expert, but is Roland's race ever described explicitly in the books? All the art of the Dark Tower series that I've seen (book covers, comic books, etc.) have portrayed Roland Deschaine as a white caucasian. But...

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    Warcraft also has Duncan Jones directing. Guy already has 2 good films under his belt (Moon, Source Code), so let's hope he keeps up the winning streak. That said, the most worrying thing about the movie (aside from the CGI, which really stands out), is the control Blizzard has over it. Sam...

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    Seconded. 4th wall breaking shenanigans hold no appeal for me. I want to watch a D&D movie with a fantasy world we can immerse ourselves in for just two or more hours. Leave the meta commentary for a parody or something.

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    They are good. Real good. I was surprised how much I ended up enjoying them. Rogers has a good ear for dialogue and crafting humurous adventures. I think he really captured the feel of an actual roleplaying session of gamers playing these character without having to break the 4th wall. It's a...

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    I think you've forgotten about a certain horned demonlike character who was clearly a hero to appear in a movie. Besides, the fact that this is Dungeons & Dragons, a property that ignorant people tried to brand as a Satanic influence during the 80's, is sure to turn some people away. Like...

    D&D Movie Takes Cues From GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

    If the filmmakers are wanting a Guardians of the Galaxy vibe for the film, why not simply adapt John Roger's (Leverage) D&D comic from IDW? You have a group of five adventurers tackling dangerous situations while talking snark to each other. I think that perfectly captures the GOTG vibe the...

    Deadpool (Spoilers)

    Just came back from seeing it. Quite good. Not quite a top tier Marvel movie but it was a solid entry in Fox's Cinematic X-verse. If I had to list down what I liked about it. PROS Ryan Reynolds - This is the role he was born to play. You already knew from the previews that he got Wade Wilson's...

    Can it be? a true DUNGEONS & DRAGON movie with a budget?!?

    You know, if they wanted to make a really a good D&D film, I'd suggest doing something similar to IDW's D&D comic Fell's Five. That series for me captured the game's feeling of adventure whilst adding good dose of humor. It was fun without taking itself too seriously and would work well as a...

    What book/book series would you like to see made into a TV show?

    The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. Now I know there was a tv series in it's native Poland but everyone agrees it was crap so I think a redo is in order. And it would find the perfect home on American Cable. Maybe HBO (because Game of Thrones, duh :p ), AMC, Showtime or some other channel...

    Suicide Squad official trailer

    :erm: Ugh. No offense. But I really hope this is false. Keep Jason Todd as far away from the movies as possible. And it wouldn't make sense agewise with the actors they've cast as Batman and Joker. Jared Leto is older than Ben Affleck by a year!

    Suicide Squad official trailer

    This movie is part of the DC Cinematic Universe and Ben Affleck will appear as Batman in a cameo. But back to the trailer, I was already for this film based on the casting and the first trailer alone, but that one made me giddy beyond all hope. :lol: I hope I'm proven wrong, but it really...

    Recommend Some Anime

    Interesting premise. Thanks for the recommendation Ranger Wickett. I'll be sure to check it out. A thousand times this. It's the best (and funniest) anime I've seen in a long time.

    "The Shannara Chronicles" and "Colony"

    Started watching Shannara recently. Now I'm going into this as a complete noob, as I never read the books it's based on. I've read how Terry Brooks plagiarized Tolkien heavily with Sword of Shannara so I never really bothered with them because of that. Watching the series though, I have to say...

    The Future of the X-Men "cinematic universe" - what do you think will happen, want to happen?

    Fox is developing a New Mutants movie directed by Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars). McAvoy may return to play Xavier in the film, but I have no idea when they plan to release it.
