I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Grizzled Old Peacemaker in the mentor role

Man, that was THE BEST.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves yesterday. It was fun. Not life changing, but sometimes you just want to see pretty people in fantastical situations.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Coming in August, The Last Voyage of the Demeter. For those who know Dracula, it expands one chapter of the book.

Huh, for some reason I thought that was coming from A24, not Dreamworks. Maybe I got it mixed up with the Nosferatu remake?

Eagerly anticipating the release, regardless.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm curious about how they are going to end that. The trailer looks good

It looks appropriately dark and scary ... don't know how closely it will follow the book.

I can report that Renfield is every bit as ludicrous as the trailers made it seem. And since that was really all I wanted out of the movie, I was delighted. Nic Cage was made to play Dracula. And Nicholas Hoult is very very pretty.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Finally got a chance to see Honor Among Thieves with my actual D&D group today. We had a blast. Lots of Easter Eggs, lots of fun "this could happen at the table" moments and just an enjoyable story overall.

This. I have to wonder if he wasn't who Ridley had in mind when working on the script. I texted a friend that Cage had finally found the perfect role for him, along with bat, poop, and crazy face emojis.

Shoresh Aghdashloo playing a substantial role was a nice surprise too.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

That was about my reaction - it was maybe a little too long, but overall I had a good time while I was watching it. My son who plays D&D got more out of it than I did, so well done movie on the Easter eggs.
