DragonLance the DVD... Rated NC17?

[Cthulhudrew]

Good Lord! Didn't anyone, and I mean ANYONE at ANY point in the process stand up and say..."Ya know...this sucks!"

I find myself asking that more and more about movies these days, and honestly? I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is "No."

They're probably all thinking it, but hoping that someone else will point it out rather than themselves, so that they won't lose their jobs if the boss disagrees (and the irony is the boss probably feels the same way.)

Did anyone notice that the heads of Tiamat all breath fire? (from the video clip).

Wait- what's Tiamat doing in a Dragonlance movie?

...I'm confused. Isn't it a cartoon?

What would the voice actors' looks have to do with anything?

We're speaking of a hypothetical DL movie using the kids from Harry Potter.

 

[Loincloth of Armour]

She's Chieftain's Daughter, and wasn't wed, so I'd guess she's in the 18-24 range, and Riverwind was a bit older than that, maybe 24-30. If Goldmoon was older, she'd be of motherly age, and would probably have been wed.

I'm eyeballing Goldmoon at 20 and Riverwind at 27.

Goldmoon was 29. We know this because as the black dragon is aciding the love of her life, she's busy raging at her dead mother.

I'm twenty-nine mother! Twenty-nine and childless! They've taken my youth! They've taken my people!
-- Paraphrased from some page in Dragons of Autumn Twilight. (I don't have it at work with me.)

Riverwind was 32-36. Much like the books, I don't have DL 5 with me here at work. Yes, the place I works sucks.

Okay, I didn't remember that. So 29 it is as they reach Xak Tsaroth.

Project Greelight was a great show partially because you could see how all the effort and enthusiasm gets poured into producing a substandard movie.

People tend to go into a project with high ambitions, and then harsh reality sets in. Maybe the budget doesn't allow for their high ambitions (cheap producers, unexpected cost overruns, money is channeled to another project, etc). Maybe key parties don't meet obligations (they lose interest, get better offers, die, get sued, whatever). Usually one of those two things. So, people gradually lower their ambitions, all the while trying to convince themselves that even though what they're doing isn't as cool as they thought it was going to be, it's still going to be good for what it is.

And what else can they do, really? Quit in disgust? Well, that happens, resulting in yet another party not meeting its obligations. If there are still enough people around with mortgages to pay, the project will get completed and they'll flip it for whatever they can make.
