Best of Blog Sunday, this was written when nobody, and I mean nobody other than my relatives even bothered to read the blog. My how somethings really don't change. It was also a time when IMDB for months listed "Gamers" however, without a director.
11/10/2005: "IMDB Hates Me and my top answers for Gen Con"
Good Thursday morning to the six folks who read this blog...sometimes.
Yo Cristina Mari, Jim, Grace, and Rob the "For Fuck Sake" Fob.
Antioch rules! Yeah, boy! Please tell Vern he is my hero and Rorie is smoking hot.
And thanks to Galen and his wife/actress Brandy for reading the blog every day...stoned at work!
I kid, I kid! I mean drunk, really f-ing drunk.
So, the movie is now listed on IMDB under Gamers 2006!
However, it only has certain members of the cast and crew. Sadly, it's still missing a lot of names. Very important names like Fernando Velloso, Dave Colacioppo, Kevin Sherwood, and yeah, God damn it...mine!
"Oh! Look it's Gamers on IMDB! And it was directed by nobody! I knew that fucking Folino guy was making it up!"
Do I need to send over a "Wand of Blow Jobs" to IMDB to get listed?
The "Wand of Blow Jobs" is a line from the film, and I'm quiet proud to get as much dialog from the movie into this blog.
Serious, what is there like three people who work for IMDB? I'm vain! I want to see my name up there before my 20th year high school reunion next year!
In preparation for Gen Con I'm posting my answers now.
1. Yes, I played Advanced Dungeons and Dragons...for a long time...20 some odd years...Okay, 23 years...fine we changed some rules and it was ghetto D&D, but who didn't'?
My first character was a Paladin who I named Paraquat Kelly, who was a famous KMET D.J. for 94.7
In my first campaign, I had my Magic-User leading the party and Paraquat in back. Yes, I was an idiot!
Even for a nine year old. I retired Paraquat Kelly at level 38 when I discovered girls. Yes, I dated.
Yes, I swear to God...and yes it was a woman...Yes! Not imaginary woman either...or an elven woman....Though, I would of liked to have dated an Elf....yes, an elven Cleric with a plus three crossbow would of been hot! Serious, as long as her Charisma was 15 or higher I'm fine with it. But, if she had Psionic abilities I'd dump her ass in a second. That's such bullshit. I'd rather date a half-orc chick with a dexterity of 17.
2. Yes, I have a tattoo of the Phoenix from the Fiend Folio on my right arm! It took almost five hours to create.
No, it's not girlie, I replaced the face with an Eagle, so it's cool. Okay, its cool girlie! But, let's see what other filmmaker who made a movie about "Gaming" at fucking Gen Con has a tat of any D&D monsters! That's what I thought! You're all too smart for that!
3. Yes...We maxed out credit cards and spent all the money saved up for a mini-van to make this film!
Well, I guess so. What? Yes, we should of though it out more. Yeah, I suppose spending the money on creating a time machine and traveling back to 1979 and preventing George Lucas from making the Star Wars Holiday Special would have been a better legacy. And yes, I agree we could have driven over to Courtney Solomon's house and beat the crap out him as a kid and warned him to never, ever, make a movie about Dungeons and Dragons.
Take care. Class of 86 kicks! Have a Bitchen Summer! I'm getting ready for my reunion next year! Go Lancers! And last but not least Merritt Hemenway for President.
By the way I forgot to turn on the karma rating for yesterday's blog, so good ahead and give me negatives! It only fuels my desire to score the perfect blog.
