There's no reason to think that his presence lends any hope to the proceedings.There's no point in boycotting the movie. I mean, we're not the target market for this. Nobody cares if we like the film or not, so boycotting it isn't even going to show up as a blip on anyone's radar.Finally, I just want to say that I really really wish that nobody had gotten interested in this, that the people who did the first one just kinda did another one in more or less the same vein, hopefully having learned a few lessons on story-telling in the interim, and opened up to the fans a little more. It'd be fun if there were this series of low-budget lame fantasy movies that nobody much watched but kept coming out every so often.I don't want a D&D Pirates of the Caribbean. I want my D&D movies like I like my D&D campaigns -- pieced together by enthusiastic amateurs with more passion than talent, with more ideas than sense, not by professionals who'd just as soon be working on a romantic comedy or a searing family drama for all they care.But I love enthusiastic amateurs. It's one of the things I love about the RPG industry. And the porn industry.No, wait...</blockquote>
