[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 9819784, member: 30438"] One thing I'd point out is that the article indicates that "Irons was having his “Raul Julia in Street Fighter” experience here, otherwise you can’t explain his presence in the movie or his constant over-the-top acting." However, there are interviews with Jeremy Irons where he gives the reason - he had just bought a castle and needed the money. Which honestly sounds like the hook of a D&D adventure. The original D&D movie has its moments, but is still a bad movie, and not a "so bad it's good" movie. If I had to pick one thing emblematic of its badness, it'd be Damodar's blue lipstick. No one ever comments on it, no reason is ever given in the movie, and it just looks terrible. I know that somewhere else they said it was from using a drug that stains his lips, but again, nowhere is that said or shown in the movie. I did steal Richard O'Brien's Silas for the head of a thieves guild in one of my campaigns. Marlon Wayans was literally flying back and forth to act in Requiem for a Dream at the same time as the D&D movie. That had to be one weird headspace. [/QUOTE]
