D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

I went during the tavern scene after (I think?) that one. I came back and Sofina was walking away from one of the assasin decapitating some fool by the water.

That is also fine. Once you clock that Sofina is bad news (her second appearance, in other words), none of her scenes are truly critical until the final battle.

Apologies if this has been covered in the 224 posts I've skipped but when is the pee break? That is, the scene you can safely skip to go and have a pee.

I took a bathroom break when they first arrived at the cemetery and were preparing to cast speak with dead. I already saw this preview clip before the movie and didn't need to see it again.

The scene in the movie is a lot longer but ultimately it's just the same joke told, I think, three times.

Still good each time at least, I especially liked the bathtub bit.

Shazam 2 No Longer Year's Biggest Bomb, A New Movie Just Flopped Harder

Shazam 2 isn't the king of flop mountain anymore! Another blockbuster has fought hard to wrestle the title from the DC film!

Did not make opening week projections. Being called a flop.

I specifically did not attend opening weekend as a reaction to the OGL mess they created.

GFR has a very notorious bias and lives off controversy clicks. They aren't worth the electricity to power the server..

Just watched it, I loved the bit where the druid and Simon talk about the rules for speak with dead and how arbitrary it is that you can only ask 5 questions, that's totally a table talk interaction.

It's Elminster.

I mean, yes, it's a projection of Simon's lack of confidence holding him back . . . but Simon's psyche manifesting itself as Elminster.

I don't think so. Simon would likely recognize Elminster since he outright claims knowledge of the man. He didn't recognize the mage before him.

It seems like an older version of HIMSELF, which makes sense as both someone Simon wouldn't recognize, still be familiar, is an Aumar, and is a play on himself being the one that holds him back.

Let's see. The second guy the ask died before witnessing what happened to the helm, Then they wake up the wrong guy, who has a similar sounding name and died before the battle by hitting his head on the bathtub, then they forget to ask the the last question and leave the reanimated corpse behind.

The writers admit this sequence was Monty Python inspired, and they wanted to get the Pythons in to do the voices, before realising most of them are dead...
