My 4 and 6 are a little too fidgety so they definitely wouldn’t have sat through it just based on the length. Other than a little bit of PG-13 language though, there’s nothing content-wise that I would have felt uncomfortable with them watching. My 9yo enjoyed it :)

To be fair, coming from the industry and knowing the turn around for trailers. This was probably being edited during tail end of the OGL stuff. Since then it would be going through localisation and distribution channels, which means they couldn’t change it.

In short, bare in mind that when this was being edited, it…

No, I’ve seen this one, and found family is definitely a thing (which should make DL Thurston happy).

It does! I saw a special screening on Sunday. 

They did a good job of making the movie uncomplicated for D&D virgins but giving nods and winks to long time players. It’s a fun movie. 

I went to a special early screening on Sunday for this movie and I enjoyed it. It’s a fun film with some great character moments and charismatic cast. 

“Entertaining despite its flaws” describes all my favorite D&D campaigns.

This looks fun and I get the sense that it’ll scratch that loveable misfits itch that Guardians of the Galaxy usually hits.

It’s not. If it happens at all, it’s one small, possible way IF and only if it’s read in a safe and supportive context with parents who are willing to have the conversations about it—that is not going to be most or even a large minority of households. Children build resilience to nastiness and meanness by having the…

“In fact, part of the value of books like these is that they can build up kids’ resilience to that kind of nastiness or meanness in a safe context, which prepares them to see it in real life.”

Straight up banning books because the governor thinks its obscenity and does it for cynical political gain, vs the estate editing copies of books to change some phrases, doesn’t change the overall books meaning, and wasn’t forced by any politician with the goal probably just being make more money. Clearly these are…

Quite right. I read Heart of Darkness in the early 90s, but it was an edition from my local library that included Chinua Achebe’s famous essay about why he thought it was a racist book. I read both, and although I didn’t necessarily agree with all of Achebe’s arguments, it certainly made me think far more critically…

No your argument is clearly in good faith. I did get a chuckle out of Hemingway still being kept but Conrad out. I love Hemingway, but boy was he a miserable person at times and it reflects in his work, perhaps even more then Conrad. Its indeed token, I’m not going to praise the estate or anything for the choice.…

At least quote Fahrenheit 451 if your gonna be a dumbass.  Its more original. 

Okay first off this isn't the end of the world.  Its minor changes its not like the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aren't be tortured.  Its not 1984 or a nazi book burnings shut up.  Not like the Twitter reactionaries were buying his books anyway.  Second, Dahl was... quite something.  Oh you think Seuess…

Take your meds.

I’m not doubting Cavil could play a Space Marine. I’m just doubting lore accurate Space Marines would translate well in a live action movie. And knowing the WH40k audience, if this isn’t lore accurate it’s dead to them. Sci fi in itself is relatively niche and I don’t think they’d get mass appeal even if they changed…

‘Oomies say Jeff Bozos is da richest humie! But ‘e ain’t even got da teef for a hair squig! How rich can he be? An’ Am’zons is s’pposed ta be real tuff humie girls, but dis one’s a gob a’ tek that lazy ‘umies use ta’ spend their teef on bits an bobs. Ain’t no way dis show’s gonna be a proper WAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

fans have been posting incessantly on in-decline social media platforms like Twitter

They’re going to need to lay the satire on thick to keep MAGA-types and other fascists from thinking the Imperium of Man is a glorification of their beliefs.
