I like this movie! I don't think it got classic status but it's very good. Holga using Judo against guards was wonderful. Very surprised that the Wild Shape Escape isn't getting more love in here. That was a truly fantastic and effective scene!

Tv series is still happening from what we know, also D&D is going to do a free 24 hour streaming channel or something.

Neo Rasa posted:I loved it especially the part where she fills up the armor and looks dorky as hell in it lol Yes, it was a very clever "this is why Druids don't wear plate mail" gag. There was honestly quite a bit about this movie I liked a whole lot. It's one of those films that I just liked and was warm on when I saw it, but it has sort of hung around and gained some stature in my mind due to the cleverness of the gags. My wife has said "Oh, Jarnathan!" a couple of times in mock frustration, so it got her too. I can absolutely see this becoming a ten year old's Ghostbusters.

I think it's a fun, lighthearted movie that does a good job at meeting its goals. Plenty of nice character moments, D&D shoutouts, and fun action. Just the right amount of chintzy and cheap. It really nails the flamboyant visual vibe of the Realms. I think it may become a minor comedy-fantasy classic. It's got a certain sweetness and deadpan sensibility that might lend it some shelf life. Love Rat fucked around with this message at 00:51 on May 23, 2023 |

Personally I thought the comedy was spot on and had perfect timing. The whole graveyard scene was a riot.

the real measure of success for this type of genre movie is "would this change a ten year-old's entire worldview?" and I think this, and Guardians Of The Galaxy are the two recent films that really check that box.

Can't wait to see in about 5-10 years' time that "Jarnathan" will be the most popular baby name.

Oh yeah, I first saw this take when he did A Very English Scandal* and he's really great there. There's something about his faded but still handsome qualities that work well for these kinds of roles. *note: not the A Very British Scandal, the show designed to capitalise on similar naming for what I can only imagine were largely venal reasons.

The especially brilliant thing about the casting is that they found Hugh Grant to be more charming than Chris Pine (and therefore annoying) and also Reggie to be prettier than Chris Pine (and therefore also, somehow, a little annoying).

I like how in interviews, Chris will refer to Rege as "the hot one." Pine really is the best.

Welllllll poo poo, that was really good! I wish I was more into D&D, I got so hyped up for it after watching this movie, I started watching some of those youtube videos with Deborah Ann Woll and immediately fell asleep. Movie still ruled at least.

D&D Youtube/podcasts also depend on your tolerance for theater kids. I love Critical Role and poo poo like that but holy gently caress they are sometimes the most insufferable theater kids.

For some strange reason I find Call of Cthulhu Actual Plays a lot more listenable than any of the D&D stuff I ever tried, even though most of the players/GMs in the big D&D shows are way better at it than I'll ever be.

I watched DAD HAT tonight. What an incredibly fun movie. To think a fantasy film with such a populist bent - and an adaptation of known cursed brand D&D, no less! - would turn out so well. Clever, good-looking, well-paced, and full of charming performances and inventive action.

I must have misheard something but I spent the whole movie thinking Michelle Rodriguez's character was meant to be a Dwarf, turns out she's just a lot shorter that I realised.

Hey just because the majority of short people are actually just mythical creatures doesn't mean all of them are. That's called stereotyping and that's bad.

As much as I love Michelle Rodriguez it is a little tiresome that she's always typecast so it would have been nice if she *was* a druid. Then again it would just end up being an angry glowering monosybellic druid not a happy smiling tree hugging one.

It would have been cool to see Rodriguez in a different type of role, but I think Holga was possibly one of her most sincere and kindest characters yet. It's a far cry from her tough soldier role in Resident Evil or Letty from the Fast franchise. She's a simple woman who wants to be loved and eat her potatoes in peace.
