DnD movie is fun! Sorta similar vibe to what the trailers show but, crucially, the trailers make it look bad when in reality it is p good
It gets a lot of the surface level aesthetics of DND right (taking stuff from the monster manual, names of locations, PC classes, etc) but I do feel like it doesn’t rly capture the experience of playing DnD. It clearly isn’t trying to, it’s more just like an mcu type joint in a generic fantasy setting. But it would have been kinda fun to watch the characters all sit around arguing about their plan of attack because the wizard has a new spell that they want to use but they don’t actually understand how the spell works so the plan they’re proposing sucks. Or like. Going to a tavern and doing a bad job flirting with NPCs. That kinda stuff. Just real authentic DnD experiences yknow
Pink Floyd Lyrics: Spitfire, scorched earth, barbed wire, iron curse, Mary I’m afraid I’ll be late for tea, they’ve penciled me in for a lobotomy (4 minute guitar solo, orchestral swell) Little kiddies dancing by the riverbed, scoured cold and clean, churned through rusted gears in Daddy’s deathbed dreams
King Crimson Lyrics: spitfire, scorched earth, barbed wire, warlock’s curse, sickly masses bend the knee, orphan prince on horseback flees (6 minute guitar solo, 2 minutes of experimental woodwind riffs, tempo change / drum solo) Little kiddies dancing by the riverbed, a king without a calling. Mary’s teatime beckons, the yellow day is dawning
Beatles Lyrics: Mary I’m afraid I’ll be late for tea. The cellar prince has taken a shine to me. (1 minute of ahhh-ahh-ahhs) He’s gotten me so high and made me smell his nasty toes. When I send you my love, it surely shows
Beach Boys Lyrics: Mary, baby baby, you’re always running late. Sometimes I get so worried you don’t care about our date! (15 seconds of harmonized buh-buh-buh-buhs) Mary, baby baby, you never treat me right. If I can’t dance with you I’ll kill myself tonight!
albatrosses will wipe the floor with any species of bird you choose to compare them to. they’re the Most, or at least Extremely, by almost every metric
wingspan. lifespan. intricacy of mating dances. devotion to monogamy. investment in offspring. ability to circumnavigate the globe. literary symbolism that is flexible but not to the point of meaninglessness. eyeliner quality. I could go on
