I think I developed an immediate crush on her, and the character, but mostly her because the way she portrayed Holga was brilliant to me.

[@RobinsTaste]

Yeah! I haven't seen much of her at all, but she nailed the character. I thought she was just going to be a brute without much of charm, but she was awesome in this. Love how she laughs her ass of in the couch in the clip as well.

The best thing about this interview is Hugh Grant's complete discomfort. You can see him quietly wondering how he ended up in this movie. "I was in Notting Hill with Julia Roberts!", he seems to scream inside. Tonight, I'm saying a prayer to any god that will listen that this movie becomes the smash hit that reignites his career, so he has to... for the rest of his life... discuss it in interview after interview. Imagine for a moment if you will, Hugh Grant, star of stage and screen, forced to spend his twilight years, bewildered and somewhat amazed, signing autographs at comic con after comic con, while hardcore D&D fans pick apart what's left of his soul with obscure, lore heavy, complaints about his role.

[@IceMetalPunk]

"...and then it went completely off the rails." So... it was D&D, then? 😂 I wish more people who are hesitant to play D&D understood that, depending on your preferences, it can be anything from total acting improv / storytelling / fucking around with friends, to a competitive minmaxing combat game. It's versatile enough that there should be something for everyone, as long as your group and DM work with you to decide what kind of game you all want to play. Anyone who's ever dreamed of becoming an actor, or enjoyed Whose Line Is It Anyway?, or liked murdering creatures in a video game, should be able to have a blast playing D&D.

[@StCla1re]

True

[@eriks6484]

You’re 100% spot on

[@Vipre-]

It's almost a shame the combat gets so much public attention because the improv can be some of the best moments.

[@Marujita71]

The fact that Chris took his shoes off, it makes me adore him even more. So natural and laid back guy. They all feel like they are sitting in the living room of some friend, chit chatting, and having fun, they forget they are in person. They all look so comfortable.

Watching him promote Don't Worry Darling vs D&D is interesting

[@suesue5142]

@@Comando729 interviews have different vibes some like this is more light-hearted bc the film is. Where something like don't worry darling a darker tone will carry a different vibe too. But yes don't worry darling was ruined by the drama surrounding it. On the other hand that drama did help it make money for its budget. I notice with Chris alot that he is a room reader so if the room is full of energy he will follow. If the room is more quiet he will be more quiet.

[@DarkCreed]

Why was it considered Satanic compared to all the other things at that time? Was it all the different dice shaped symbols and random numbers?

[@MemphiStig]

@@DarkCreed It had gods and demons and devils (oh my!), magic, evil monsters, and evocative art. Then of course there were all sorts of false rumors, like the guys playing in the sewers, and people saying it depicted Jesus as a wizard. Combine this with the superstitious, xenophobic, judgmental, fear-filled, hyper-gullible, non-fact-checking "Christian" religion, and you get the "Satanic panic" (and Trump as a conservative paragon).

All props to Stranger Things, but I'm pretty sure the hundreds of actual-play-shows have done way more for D&D's resurgence than one netflix series.

[@brewdaly1873]

Calling it "one Netflix series" is a little disingenuous I think. It's a hugely popular series, probably the most popular thing Netflix has put out. It's a pop culture phenomenon. Wizards even released a ST themed starter set for 5e, and Matt Mercer himself credits the show with getting people into it. I'd wager more people got into the live play shows because of Stranger Things than the other way around. That being said, everything combined really created a perfect storm of conditions to make DnD big. 5e is easy for new players, it started showing up in pop culture like Stranger Things, Critical Role and other love play shows had huge success, things like D&D Beyond and Roll20 made it easier to play online.

I have never been more endeared to Michelle Rodriguez before after watching this interview. Also, I feel her on Vin Diesel trying to play D&D with her. Friends of mine have and I could not pay attention. Some things are too nerdy.

[@IceMetalPunk]

That's... not what she was saying at all. She said she grew up playing D&D. Her point was that Vin is too intense with it for her. D&D can be anything from casual improv storytelling and messing around with friends, to numbers-focused competitive combat. It all depends on what you, your DM, and your group decide you want to play together. "Too nerdy" is a concept you've learned from other people's unwarranted judgment, it's not an actual thing that should stop you from trying something you might enjoy.

[@kenz2756]

She said she grew up playing it. I think the problem with intense hobbyist like Vin is that they make you insecure about doing their hobby with them.

4 doesn't count. It's basically a JRPG that they named D&D but at best is a store brand version that has dents in all the cans so they were put on clearance. It's obvious they really wanted to make it more appealing to the wider gamer verse but failed miserably and even cost them a chunk of their previous player community. I remember being so excited before it came out but then tried to play in 3 different campaigns/parties/GM's and just loathed every bit of it. I mainlined 3/3.5 but I've played 2nd (f* off THACO) and 5th too. I quite enjoy 5th as a blend of what I liked in 3/3.5 but with a lot of new options and some parts of how to play the game. Will NEVER go back to 4th, though.

@jameswatson5011 - Been playing since 1977, and I completely shunned 4th edition, too!

[@KaiIzuki]

DnD was always cool. Everyone else is playing catch up

[@gcandthevoidz]

Thanks for giving my campaign a team building exercise ♥️

Chris Pine promoting Don't Worry Darling: 😐 vs promoting D&D: 😀

I get nervous whenever I see Hugh Grant in an interview. He has a vibe like "I don't give a shit about any of this, they just told me to be here" and it feels like any second he's going to say something to make everyone around him feel terrible

[@BelladonnaHarker]

they need to play a game together

[@sir_wesley86]

there's so many Chris's I like in hollywood

[@connordutton674]

High Grant looks so weird near the end like zoned out or completely pissed off but keeping his cool

[@LeMayJoseph]

Is it just me, or did Michelle Rodriguez just get EVEN HOTTER?

[@bryantwu8993]

I just fell more in love with Michelle Rodriguez.

[@endotimez9086]

I played DnD during the "Satanic Panic". Not fun times.

[@DerFinder]

Now I'm wondering how a dnd session with actors would play out xD

[@esgaril]

well, you are in luck, because a bunch of nerdy-ass voice actors have been playing DnD for the last 8 years and you can watch all 1000+ hours of it on the Critical Role yt channel

[@superscott165]

Look at how much physical space Chris is occupying. Interesting.

[@sleepcrime]

This is how I'm going to call people fat from now on.

[@eharper7]

Michelle is killing me 😂😂😂

[@Dash277]

wtf is this set. Michelle seems very chill. I can picture playing with her. I like Chris Pine in general, he was a very good choice.

[@vernonhampton5863]

You can see her play a game with some of the cast of Stranger Things online.

[@Marujita71]

Everyone looks comfortable in taht set. They are all sitting all relaxed, laid back. Look at Chris, he even took his shoes off!

[@xzgun100]

Producer: Michelle would you like to sit on the couch Michelle: No! I want to be the couch.

[@L.Smith.]

Sophia really is Daria lol. If they make a movie she could defo play her lol

[@jeremydragt3092]

If there isn’t a cameo of the cast of Critical role dressed as the S2 characters it will be a missed opportunity.

[@mr.whatislove3620]

Oh wow, they could do so many cameos in this film, just for fun and just for the fans if they wanted! ^_^

[@Arranthie]

Still, excited to see what their cameo actually will be!

[@HafidzMurshidie]

I loved C1 more, but visually, and character appearance wise, C2 has a better fantasy look to them.. So adapting their look to a live-action would be cool to see... And C3 was just a chaos cluster of characters, lol.. They looked nothing like fantasy characters at all, they looked more in line of Marvel characters bands of misfits.. Lol.. But I love all campaign nontheless..

[@kaylaschropp7503]

They’ve apparently confirmed that the CR cast will cameo somewhere in the movie. There has been no info as to where in the movie or if they will be dressed as their characters or just general townsfolk. But they will be there.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@kaylaschropp7503 To be fair, they did not say CR. The fan asked in the SDCC panel if anyone from CR or Dimension 20 would make a cameo. And they said " a prominent figure from the D&D community would make a cameo, potentially more than one." So it literally could be anyone from any popular D&D stream. Everyone is just ASSUMING it's the folks from Critical Role. But they absolutely have NOT confirmed who the cameo is. And the Critical Role people have been absolutely silent about it. 🤷‍♀️ So it would be amazing if it was them...but don't get your hopes up. It could be anyone from any stream as they did not confirm ANYTHING other than a cameo will be happening.
