It looks appropriately dark and scary ... don't know how closely it will follow the book.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Renfield surprised me in so many ways but I loved it and I'm so glad we watched it

Sadly, DH confirmed for me that the horror elements in Renfield have too much gore for me to enjoy it, which is a shame because the trailer was so appealing!

I enjoyed it but there was a lot of not watching on my part.

Oh yes I watched a lot of Renfield from behind my hands
