Ghost Leviathan posted:Ran is apparently coincidentally a lot like King Lear, but when a friend brought up the resemblance Kurosawa decided to roll with it and added more similarities and some quotes. The Bad Sleep Well also lifts a bit from Hamlet.

Spelljammer is the most cartoon-without-a-toyline-that-only-ran-for-13-episodes-before-being-cancelled-on-a-cliffhanger-in-the-80s-esque setting that D&D has ever produced, which is impressive because it has a lot of competition on that front.

Spelljammer, Dark Sun, Planescape, Eberron, there's a lot of interesting settings in D&D that tend to get passed over for more "Tolkien with the numbers filed off" environments.

Dark Sun gets the R-rated action movie (ideally directed by George Miller), Spelljammer gets the kids' cartoon show, Eberron gets the Amazon Prime series, and Planescape gets the prestige miniseries. Deal?

Do you know how hard I would laugh if I came home one week and everyone in the house was furious that a character got airlocked, and right before they expire, this red shroud envelops them and suddenly they're in Elminster's weird beer study and that's the end of the season? I want this more than anything now. (show's fine but it's not my jam)

I wish fantasy were just tolkien with the serial numbers filled off because he was a very good writer, and most fantasy is definitely not good.

I feel like he should have had a bigger career - he's still acting a lot so he's a very successful actor but it's mostly TV and smaller movies Making the Queen mab speech about taking ecstasy and having Romeo be ballsed at the party is funny as heck

There's some wildly inventive stuff on D and D. Especially with the monsters Put an Astral Dreadnought in it. It'll be the closest we ever get to putting a Cacodemon in a movie.

Even if it is a standard fantasy, I at least hope they use some of the more unique elements of D&D like how some spells can become 'alive' and crawl around like an amoeba spreading they spell effects, or there's a class that fight using knives created using psychic energy. Or dragons transforming into humans so they can gently caress people and have half-dragon babies. DeviantArt will love that.

Romeo + Juliet is probably the best movie we watched in high school. We watched part of the 1968 version too, but I don't remember anything about that other than my teacher telling everyone to "be mature please" during that one scene.

Baz Lurhmann's general deal is that subtlety is for the weak, and it certainly works for Shakespeare and musicals. It's a pretty good choice to show high school students too, since it's well faithful enough to the play but has fun visuals, an energetic pace, hunky boys, and you don't need to understand too much of the fancy talk to know what's going on.

Possibly was coming down with scurvy as well. If she didn't kill her self, she probably only had five month max anyway. The real tragedy of the play is peoples lack of access to a good nutritious diet.

Neurolimal posted:Exactly how much demand is there for "post-civil war scifi where we copy an anime", especially at the current time where Whedon projects may as well be radioactive. Honestly a well done Firefly could be awesome. "Wild west sci-fi future" isn't exactly a super-overdone trope in mainstream cinema, so there could be a lot of fertile ground there. But not with Joss Whedon.

I can't wait for The Nevers to be de-Whedon-ed, because it sounds like a fun concept but the premise and characters are so very Joss it hurts.
