Dan Harmon's D&D movie idea

[Kramodlog]

Who TF is Dan Harmon?

He is a fat white dude, so I'll go with a Republican.

What are you people talking about? there have been two excellent D&D movies made: "The Gamers" and "The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising." Followed by a Webseries called "JourneyQuest."

You have a link to these supposedly "excellent" D&D movies?

This guy.

"You guys?" What do you mean by "You guys?" Is it because I'm black?

Ha, I guess?

Gamers and Gamers2. I'm sure you can find bits on YouTube easily enough (like right here and here. Technically, Gamers 2 is not a sequel, because it does not continue Gamers at all--it's just that the same people are involved in the productions.

Looking at Harmon's credentials, I'll pass on anything he has to suggest.

Well that was three minutes of my life I'll never get back. That was horrible in a really terrible way.

and here.

I'm not falling for that twice. Nope, not going to happen.

I'll just assume it's equally terrible to Gamers.

Yeah, probably won't be any good. He would probably get a decent budget, though. In any case, it couldn't be any worse than the D&D movie that was already made.

It's a trap...Saying, you can make a great D&D or so and so can make a great D&D movie is a trap, it is like hearing the phase trust me.

D&D on shows like Big Bang, Community, etc. is just cute, most of the time the games are stupid and not all that D&Dish but because they say D&D you hear how cool it was and how great the show was for talking about D&D.

Guess what, no, no it is not. It's a trap!

A great D&D movie would be set on Athas and feature Sorak.

Yeah, a bunch of bored college kids did a better job making a D&D movie than the major studios did.
Sorry you didn't like that. It was truer to life than anything hollywood has tried (and failed) when capturing what gaming is like.

Were they major studios?
In any case, the college kids made a movie about D&D, while the other studios made a terrible movie that wasn't a D&D movie. What I mean is that the college kids made a movie about the game, and playing it, while the craptastic studios made something that should never have been made. I can't actually define what they made because it's just too terrible to be definable.

Sorry you didn't like that.

You owe me money.

I don't know about that. I've seen how gamers react to girls, like the one at the start that complained about having a test the next day, and they don't generally laugh. It's usually like watching a deer caught in headlights.

"Oh, he's going out on a date."
"Again?"
"I know. Can you imagine? He'd rather spend time with an attractive, intelligent, sensible young woman than spend time hanging out with us in this room that smells like ass--no offense--all on the off chance that he might score. Can you imagine that?"

"so, we're in the woods, right?"
