You can borrow the DVD from the library or buy it second-hand if you don't want Hasbro/WoC to get your money. Even if you've moved on to Pathfinder or something else, it's still a lot of fun.

It's a great movie, the best movie yet to come out under the Dungeons and Dragons name. However:
The film made $93 million domestically, which is not good compared to the $150 million budget. Luckily, its worldwide total was $208.2 million, but with marketing costs, it is likely the film did not break even.

It's often difficult to identify why a film didn't perform well, but fan anger over the licensing changes likely contributed, e.g. see: https://screenrant.com/dungeons-dragons-honor-among-thieves-box-office-bomb-reason/
The movie could have been a huge hit instead of just maybe breaking even. Trying to rip off the core fans right before it came out was a dumb idea.
These are the same geniuses who tanked their big Hollywood movie by changing their game license just before the movie came out, right?
Demi Moore is pretty cool. Thoughts go out to Bruce Willis.

I think the idea is that parts of the world will be like number 1 (with people in it), and other parts of the world like numbers 2 and 3.
That's a great definition of science! Look at something in the world and take it way too seriously.
Stephanie Pope, CEO of Boeing’s commercial airplane unit, told machinists earlier this week the tentative deal was the “best contract we’ve ever presented.”
“In past negotiations, the thinking was we should hold something back so we can ratify the contract on a second vote,” she said. “We talked about that strategy this time, but we deliberately chose a new path.”
I don't know anything about their contract negotiations, but if someone said this to me during negotiations of any type, my BS detector would be off the charts.
That's very interesting... because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.
Over the past 24 hours I've seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they'd adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.
Maybe I'm thinking too much like a scientist. There's probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.
(edit: I don't mean this as a criticism of you in particular, @[email protected] ; on the contrary thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on the latest memes.)
so... I'm familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so... the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.
Yeah Jordan Peele is a genius.
