What happens if you have a Sinful Thought during “The Great Snatch”? Do you get un-Snatched? What if you immediately Repent? Do you get Snatched again? Will there be people bouncing back and forth indefinitely?

“Read The Fisherman Matthew”?

They should make it a tourism thing. I unironically want to go Garf-phone picking at Le Mer du Chat in France.

Chicken? That’s basically health food.

You’re right, my comment was pretty condescending, I apologize. Your points are well-taken, thanks for giving me something to think about.

No, it doesn’t sound petty to spend your money carefully. I hope things get better with D&D.

Well I’m glad you found a movie you like. But I gotta say, “the movie is bad because it was made bad on purpose” just seems like copium.

Since you’re interested in history: Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace” also makes an anti-Great Man point about Napoleon, both in Tolstoy’s depiction of the Battle of Borodino, as well as in historical thoughts that are usually collected at the end of that novel. I don’t remember if Bondarchuk’s movie adaption of War and Peace retains that theme, but you can see it on youtube. The best Napoleon movie is arguably Waterloo which is somewhat critical of Napoleon. Likewise, the Napoleon miniseries has him act like kind of a doofus at times (and has an interesting depiction of the Napoleon-Josephine relationship).

I guess I’m just kind of bitter about this film because most of us in the US don’t have a lot of knowledge about European history since our teachers are underpaid, our academics are ridiculed, and because our historical movies and TV shows are generally ahistorical cartoonish BS like this one.

Pupusas may be simple-looking, but they are amazing if made well and very filling. Plus they are easy to carry and store and they heat up well.

I heard from a relative that Pat ain’t there any more, he retired.

From reading the reviews and social media comments, it annoyed anyone with an interest in history.

If I were paid to promote this film, I’d say something like: you can tell from the previews and the theatrical release that there’s good cinematography, set design, costumes, etc. Well in the extended version there’s MORE of it. And then tacitly suggest that people play it in the background with the sound off while listening to classical music.

Scott spent over $100 million to piss off the French, which any Englishmen would love to do if given half a chance.

Got it. This movie is only really interesting if you’re from England.

Yeah Jordan Peele is a genius.

You can borrow the DVD from the library or buy it second-hand if you don’t want Hasbro/WoC to get your money. Even if you’ve moved on to Pathfinder or something else, it’s still a lot of fun.

It’s a great movie, the best movie yet to come out under the Dungeons and Dragons name. However:

The film made $93 million domestically, which is not good compared to the $150 million budget. Luckily, its worldwide total was $208.2 million, but with marketing costs, it is likely the film did not break even.

It’s often difficult to identify why a film didn’t perform well, but fan anger over the licensing changes likely contributed, e.g. see: https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-box-office-bomb-reason/

The movie could have been a huge hit instead of just maybe breaking even. Trying to rip off the core fans right before it came out was a dumb idea.

These are the same geniuses who tanked their big Hollywood movie by changing their game license just before the movie came out, right?

It wasn’t 9/11, it was the 2001 release of Slayer’s epic album God Hates Us All.

Stay strong, fam.

Demi Moore is pretty cool. Thoughts go out to Bruce Willis.
