I didn't even know that a second Dungeons & Dragons movie was in the works. Well, now I know. Just picture me rolling my eyes. That'll give you a good idea of what I think of it.

I'm sure a good portion of my readership (all three or four of you) have seen the first D&D movie from 2000. If you didn't, how about a really quick review from me to you. Think of it as a warning: It sucked the sweat off a dead donkey's balls ... and then came back for more. ... Here's hoping that wasn't too graphic for you. ;)

The first D&D flick came out of New Line Cinema, and it's something that Director Courtney Solomon and everyone else involved should be utterly ashamed of. While fantasy films are generally of pretty poor quality, this one lowered the bar significantly.

According to the official D&D site, this next disaster-in-the-making is being done at Warner Bros. It sounds like Jeremy Irons' Profion will be back, but it's not intended to be a sequel. Yeah, whatever. So if the same villain is back, it's being set in the same world as the first movie, which means it's still not D&D. It's just a fantasy movie that uses the name of the popular RPG to try to bring in the gaming audience. Give me Greyhawk. Give the Realms. Or give me nothing.
