Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary
FhnuZoag writes "Google Video is hosting the short film 'Fear of Girls', written and directed by Ryan Wood. The film is a hilarious 'documentary' dealing with a pair of self-declared elite table-top roleplayers. The film has already appeared at a variety of fringe events, but here's a chance to see it for free and online from a server that probably can survive a slashdotting." Allright, so it's not that funny, but since I'm off to play D&D this afternoon, it tickled me.
And it was good. Very funny, very well done. Where the hell does YNG Turk Films get that kind of cash to make something as high quality as that (come on, the closing credits were stunning).
Maybe you were so wowed by the post-production that you didn't notice that the acting was horrendous. With more competent actors, this premise could have really shone.
These films are the 21st century equivalent of the minstral show. An oppressed class of society is poked fun of by the in crowd. The oppressed are reduced to a simplified accecntuated stereotype. In this case the fried chicken and watermelons is replaced by Doritos and Mountain Dew. Blackface is replaced by a pair of nerd glasses.
Indeed. Also, it could have done with some better writing. The "druid" and "wear a cloak to school" bits were rough, but still funny. The rest was truly abyssmal. Two guys chewing the scenery reading awkwardly phrased lines off cue cards.
Conclusion: the Empire squashes the Federation like a bug. Accept it.

Wow, dweebs like you still exist nowadays? Fucking pathetic. Yeehaw, my vorpel sword +5 magic princess undresser slayed the Magic Tortoise Scale Dragon of Fagtassia!!
Face it, you won't be happy no matter what way you have it. I guarantee if women were given exactly equality to men there would still be more bitching. You must have it really good if some dickhead looking at your breasts is the worst thing in the world about being a woman. Spare everyone your fucking grief.
This is news? :/
And most servers can withstand a "slashdotting".
