It's going down like the Hindenburg

Gotta have speed in there

Oh, you gotta read the credits from Zucker Brothers movies. They’re hilarious. Wtf is a “Clapper Loader” lol?

She's up there with Mara of the Acoma from the Riftwar Cycle.

If James Cameron did one then it can’t be all bad

I put the year the movie was released in on all of my posts.

I'm glad you included (2022) as I would have confused it with one of the other Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio movies.

I'm sure the fanbase for a Dragonlance project might be somewhat big enough. It depends on how much crossover appeal it will have as well. Will a person who just likes fantasy or action in-general give it a try? Will they think they need to know the story ahead of time to be able to understand what's happening?

I think it will bomb because the trailer is completely uninteresting and forgettable. Nothing to draw new audiences in. I've heard of D&D, but never played the game. I would have given the movie a chance if the trailer looked exciting and compelling, but it was neither of those. If the reviews and word of mouth are good, then maybe. But that remains to be seen.

I love Chris Pine, but he has such a terrible track record. He just makes terrible movies and shows.

> I thought, after the MCU, the people making D&D movies would understand you need to lead with established characters and stories.

I don't agree with this at all, there are many successful movies that don't have established stories and characters and there are many complete flops that do.

With that said, I don't have much hope for this movie. The ads are weird, it is just so shake and bake.

The script is not the movie. The movie is the movie.

The emotional climax of the movie is when Chuck and Kelly declare their love for each other in the rain. Kelly tells him she never truly lost hope that he was alive, that he's the love of her life, that she loves him, but in the end she can't leave her family. In Chuck's words, she "has to go home." It's a heartbreaking scene. And it only works because it's real: they really do love each other.

That scene is not in the script. Neither is the previous scene where Kelly can't bear to meet Chuck and cries by her car, which Chuck is able to see through the window. Instead, Kelly shows up, talks to Chuck with other people around, and is totally fine. The scene is lighthearted, even. They joke around a bunch. Then she goes back to Memphis. She never declares him the love of her life or anything of the sort.

It's clearly not the same relationship as in the movie.

The way it is presented in the movie makes more sense dramatically. All the movie is doing is switching the consequences of the main character's attitudes from real ones (losing out on friends and family because their feelings about you change) to movie ones (losing out on friends and family because you are stuck in a desert island and they think you are dead). It is unnecessary to have both the real and movie consequences, it is redundant.

Yes, of course, in "reality" Chuck would get dumped. That is what happens here, just in "movie" form (he gets dumped into a deserted island).

Both seasons of Picard. Especially season 2. There was so much wasted filler in that show that it was ultimately pointless. John De Lancie being in a few scenes did not make the overall experience better.

Season 1 was so utterly forgettable that I'm struggling to remember what actually occurred in it much.

I think it looks fun. I don’t know if it will tank but I’ll go see it.

I'm amazed anyone liked the second one. Pretty visuals are not enough for me and the complete lack of a cohesive message or story in TWOW was astounding.

Why is the Earth bankrolling a multi-trillion dollar revenge mission to kill a man who doesn't really even hold much power on Pandora?
Same villain? Really? Why would it be important to the mission to get the same guy? Expensive.
So, violence bad or violence necessary? Not sure of the message here. Sully seemed like he's suddenly anti-violence as an excuse to go find water people.
Often times the movies are "pretty" but feel like they were assembled in a Spencer's Gifts.

I could pretty much go on all day, but the more I think about the movie, the less I seem to like it.

And now she's yet another Force-user running around in the background doing nothing during the movies.

I don't think it will do well. First, you have all the D&D fans who are upset at WoTC over the OGL issues. So some of those fans aren't going to support the movie. Then you have D&D fans who probably feel that the movie isn't true to D&D and it's just a typical fantasy movie with a D&D skin. Basically, just a normal Hollywood movie with some D&D Easter Eggs and so they won't support it.

Then you have non-D&D people (normies, such as myself) who have only heard of of D&D and who will go see the movie because of the casting or out of curiosity, but there aren't enough of those people to really give the movie the support it would require to succeed. For myself, I like Chris Pine and the movie reminds of me of other comedy/adventures that I have watched and enjoyed, but this isn't something I would go to the theater to see. I'd wait for the DVD or streaming options to become available.

Correct. And?

I had such a crush on her back in the day from when she first appeared on Happy Days. Years later I saw her in The Conversation where she was surprisingly good. RIP

All of the direction and the acting support what I’m saying, and it’s been the understood meaning of the scene for decades.

Dutch is no less of a hero just because his hastily jerry-rigged trap doesn’t work as planned. It’s to his credit that he thinks quickly and still comes out on top.

They have my money, but I am a nerd for this shit. It will probably bomb sending the hasbro v wizards shit i to over drive on the board. Personally I would love to see it separated but I am not sure what that would mean.
