thoughts on dungeons and dragons

You know you're getting old when you constantly look back to old movies you used to watch and review them.

Son of a bitch, it's been a long time hasn't it. But yeah as a kid, i watched Dungeons and Dragons on VHS when I got it from blockbuster. I loved that movie, loved the cast, felt the film was fantastic, and it was like my pseudo star wars. I had star wars as my main meal and on the side was Dungeons and Dragons.

But yeah it was an interesting time to be alive. I feel infinitely attatched to this hokey 90s (semi-00s) movie beecause so much about it was the beginning of all the stuff we have today. Really as weird as it sounds the silly little 90s movie was the precursor to A LOT of the big stuff hollywood's been making these days. I remember. I mean Dungeons came out just as the Phantom Menace was gearing up for its big theatrical release. So I kinda view Dungeons as being connected to that film and what that film brought to the world. Also harry potter. Just around the same time Dungeons came along they were making Harry Potter another huge theatrical sword and sorcery film.

And on the side I'd say this was my intro to Marlon Wayans and I followed all the movie he and his brother made after dungeons.

So let's get into it shall we..

What  a big epic amazing film Dungeons is. I loved it, and was over whelmed by its awesomeness as a kid. I watch it today and it still holds up. I dare say it was ahead of its time. Makes me sad that Dragon Ball Evolution wasn't given as much care as Dungeons. I never looked at Dungeons as a huge epic film but compared to Evolution, it definitely is...

I'm amazed that such a film got made and that they got so much right about it. It's just a lot like star wars. Really the thing I like about the film is that it came out just around when star wars was in production again and you can tell everyone involved with the movie was kinda feeling that star wars vibe a little. That's what really made me gravitate to the film as a kid the fact the movie kinda is a semi-star wars movie. It's just the same spirit. We've unfortunately lost that these days... Every movie has to be EMO to no end. But back in my childhood movies were actually DARING to be FUN.

What a concept, a movie made for kids to watch that DOESN'T have blood and guts flying everywhere.... what a NOVEL IDEA!!!

But yeah the movie is definitely a trip back in time for me. It came out 14 years ago. Which is a big long span of time to me, yunno. I should have written a retrospective back in 2006 at least, not today. Then I can legitimately say oh it's only been fucking 6 years, not this giant canyon of 14 shit long years since Dungeons came out. And a lot has changed since I was a kid hanging out watching tons of movie son VHS.   A LOT.

I'm fucking getting older. I'm not young kid and I got so much drama in my life now vs just being a kid watching dungeons. That's why I like to watch the movie, it makes me forget I'm in the future. My brain still kinda remembers my first viewing of the film and kinda puts me back in that time period a bit more.

Of course back then as a kid, I had no sexual interests, so watching the film was just about the action, and the drama. Now I watch the movie and I'm getting a boner for all the girls in it. Quite a distraction I must say...

 And what a nice collection of ass this movie had. I always knew the movie was kinda sexy, but seeing it today yeah, I'm noticing how fucking hot the girls are in it. There's no explicit sexual scenes though. Which is how things were done in my childhood. They had some class back then. Not like today, not in the least. We got fucking goddamn ass and titties being blasted in our faces 24/7 these days, but surprise surprise back as a kid, there was actual attempts made to make movies and shows that were about actual intelligently written stories. What a shocking idea.

Still there's plenty of booty meat to enjoy. I know I'm like feeling hot for that elf girl Norda in the movie. I always liked her, but she had such a small role in the film. Truly you'd have to sit through hours of shit until that gorgeous mulatto bitch showed up.

So yeah this fucking movie. It's a fine film, and it's very well made, certainly higher production values than the sequels they eventually made.
