Movie of the Week: Dark Dungeons.

Dark Dungeons is, of course, the resolutely straight-faced-or-possibly-actually-deadpan adaptation of the legendary anti D&D tract drawn and written by the late Jack Chick. That link goes to the Amazon Prime version, which means that none of you can actually buy it there (I assume that all of my readers have Amazon Prime); but what the heck. It’s fascinating watching, especially when you try to figure out how the director got the project greenlighted*.

And so, adieu to John Carter. Continue reading Movie of the Week: Dark Dungeons.

End of an era: Jack Chick has died.

The man more or less hated every single aspect of my life, my hobbies, and certainly my religion. I sincerely hope* that Jack Chick repented of that before he died. Because eternity is forever.

The first “Dark Dungeons: The Movie” trailer.

Yes, they really are going to show a movie adaptation of Jack Chick’s famous comic tract attacking Dungeons & Dragons.

The movie site is here. Crowd-funded, and I was part of the crowd. So you can probably blame me for this, at least in part. And before you ask: everybody involved agreed that the best, most honest, and frankly ethical way to do this movie was to just take what was in the comic and put it up on the screen. That’s what producer JR Ralls promised Jack Chick, and I backed that project because of that promise. It would be far too easy to turn this project into a Flying Spaghetti Monster self-indulgence or some other silliness, and I remain confident that Ralls will be able to give us something that was reproduced as faithfully as possible, in both word and tone. I will actually be disappointed if he does not.

The “Dark Dungeons” Movie Kickstarter.

…Yes. “Dark Dungeons” the Jack Chick comic.

It should be an interesting film.
