In my ultra-enlightened, vastly superior to all-comers opinion (Did you note the sarcasm?), Al Pacino as Richard III -sucked-. The documentary doesn't show much of a finished production, but I didn't like the feel of him as that character at all. Now mind you, I have nothing against Al Pacino, and not too long ago I saw him in The Merchant of Venice, as the Jewish merchant (I don't know the name), and I thought he was awesome. Anyway, in school, we saw the Ian MacKellan Richard III, and I thought it was pretty good.Back to the real discussion of this thread (No, not Michelle Tractenberg and EuroTrip, though I am a fan of both), you're right that the Myth parade worked for Hercules, but that wasn't really attempting to be anything, just a succesful show. In Dungeons & Dragons, however, the focus is more on one theme drawn out over a lengthy adventure. While making really long story arcs for the series might now work, it would be nice to see some run for 5-7 episodes before being resolved. And in that space, you *could* fit a number of different environments and monsters, like how the Eberron series of modules goes from Sharn, to the Mournland, to Xen'drik, etc. (I'm probably missing some steps, I've never played it, but I think thats the gist of it), where each episode is one part of the adventure.Anyway, I have to split to go game for the first time in a month, and my sister is on my back (How dare she question my using messageboards, that telephone talker, computer chatting punk?). We can continue this somewhat interesting, perhaps mildly hostile discussion later. Bye.</blockquote>
