she's so good in this movie! i like how her character is slightly comedic, much lighter than all her previous characters.

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.

[@One01Zero]

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.

I’ve watched several interviews with Hugh Grant so far and it genuinely felt like he was having a good time with this film. He’s usually a notoriously grumpy a*hole type, and his delight and chemistry with the cast seemed genuine to me.

[@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

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.

Chris reminds of one of my good friends, also named Chris (like me), that I played D&D and all sorts of other games with in college. It's kinda wild to me that he's in this. He seems perfect for it. I'm really looking forward to it. And Hugh needs to try it; I think he'd like it, in spite of his 80s era belief that it's somehow "Satanic" which of course it isn't.

[@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.

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.

[@Case2_0]

Didn’t they warn Hugh Grant not to call D&D specifically satanic?

[@thechamber9]

lol Michel loungin' like she owns the place.

[@eharper7]

Michelle is killing me 😂😂😂

[@ladykatie3958]

No wonder Zank was such a perfect Palladian. He’s a nerd! He’s one of us!

[@JeMangeLaPoubelle]

This is a dream casttttttttt

[@Lubetube111]

Hugh Grant looks like he is dying inside. Inner thought comment "How the hell did I let my agent talk me into this movie!""""

[@justjaseyeah]

You don't think he's checked out for 95% of press junkets?? at least he can be open about this one... good luck to him, sure he's laughing to the bank

[@vokasimid5330]

"You know I was in 'Sense and Sensibility' right? "

[@makemelaughyouants]

It will be hilarious when the movie is a huge success and Hugh Grant signs on for a trilogy.

[@vokasimid5330]

Chris really loves to tease Sophia doesn't he?

Chris Pine giving Gen X Brad Pitt

[@yew2oob954]

I didn't think I could love Michelle Rodriguez more...now she played D&D as a kid? Seriously woman...stop raising the bar so damn high!!

[@basementality4924]

Michelle Rodriguez is the wacky loud might be drunk aunt at your Christmas party.

[@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

[@Comando729]

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

[@Awol991]

DnD is improve. Depending on the players DnD can be comedy, drama, or tragedy. Usually some combination of all of those.

[@yawarapuyurak3271]

And it's also funny how dark it can get sometimes. Like, you just realized the implications of what you've done. Or how it connected to something the DM had planned and you just broke it in a bad way.

[@graveyardghoul8482]

Michelle absolutely losing it in the corner killed me.

[@jameswatson5011]

I have been playing DM'ing since 1974. I would LOVE to take these guys through their paces. Paper back books, 2nd ed, 3, 3. ME, even 5. (YES I skipped 4!) Homebrew forever! Take the best leave the rest.

[@Marcsansum]

We still play 2nd Ed :)

[@lel7841]

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.

[@keanureeves666]

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love and moral support, from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you for being a wonderful Where are you commenting from?🙏❤️

[@shawngilliland243]

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

[@L.Smith.]

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

[@endotimez9086]

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

[@marticejamar]

great film

[@Karm24-7]

How high did they all get before this? 😂 🤣

[@connordutton674]

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

[@sir_wesley86]

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

[@BelladonnaHarker]

they need to play a game together
