New D&D Movie Announced

[Stone Angel]

Joke or no Joke. This thread alone has been worth it. I mean I hate telling people that I play D&D because they say oh I saw that movie. Then I get a funny taste in my mouth and cringe. But I went to see it in the theatre twenty minutes into it I walked across the street bought a six pack of beer and then snuck it into the theatre just to entertain myself.

ME: What did I miss?
Friend: something about the bad guys, Marlyn trying to be a pimp, and a lot of really bad dialouge.
ME: *Cracks open a beer* Yeah.....Yeah

Seriously don't they know if they make it and it sucks no matter who they have in it they will all be lynched over and over again. Jeez if I go to hell Satan will tear my ticket and say enjoy just as the beging starts "Front row" says Satan. I would rather see Rocky 6. Sorry about the rant.

oh god,

You know, when I first read the thread title, I thought this was a joke. Then I continued to read the article and thought it was something I've read before in the Onion. I mean, come on, DMX? Jet Lee? Tom Arnold? I'm starting to think their is some ANTI-D&D studio producer who is creating these films in order to prove to the world that D&D is lame.

I won't pay any money to see this and I wouldn't be suprise if Ashton Kutcher not only starred in this flim, but half way through it, turned to the camera and said "You just got Punk'd".

All I want to know is, what brand of glue where they sniffing when somebody said, "You know what would be totaly cool? A D&D Movie SEQUEL. But this time, we'll cast DMX, Jet Lee and Tom Arnold, because they will totaly make this movie."

Please let me know when the joke is over.

You forgot to add the word "farce" to the statement....

I keep hearing about FR TV series live action and a second D&D movie, but now it all seems to have evaporated. That's too bad - we need to get the first one washed down the drain. Though admittedly, there still was a certain level of perverse enjoyment in watching it.

I'm afraid that a good D&D movie will be made after two great founders (Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson) have passed.

Right. Using "lynched" in that peculiar way that means, "paid plenty of cash bucks".

Of all the things that I liked about the D&D movie, the fact that Mr Solomon was intelligent enough to make a profit on it is one of the things I liked best about it. I hope he's reading this thread, and listening to people call him names, and looking at his bank account and chuckling. Good for him.

 

[Ranger REG]

Now why you gotta say that? Now I'm depressed he's getting rich by gullibles out there.

 

[barsoomcore]

What I wish he WOULD do is reach out to the D&D community. Start posting in places like this, telling us what he's doing and why, and listening to feedback and sharing his vision (such as it may be).

If we felt like he was one of us, I think the level of vitriol would subside.

 

[Ranger REG]

Yeah, but you made it sound like he shouldn't listen to the community, only to his bank account. I just hope he lose big in terms of $$$.

 

[barsoomcore]

I don't wish misfortune on anyone.

I don't think he shouldn't listen to the community. I was just pointing out that threatening him with the "lynching" he got from the last film is unlikely to sway him much.

I hope he makes big $$$. He's worked hard for them, and taken chances, and been smart. I also hope he's learned a lot about directing films in the meantime.

 

[Ranger REG]

Until he learned from his first attempt at D&D movie, I'd hold back on calling him "smart." Maybe he should gain more experience making indie films.
