12-11-05, 03:16 PM Subtitle: D&D in the most bizarre places

So my girlfriend and I are seeing Narnia last night, and a trailer for Pirates of the Carribean 2: Electric Boogaloo comes on. I'm actually interested in this one, as I found the first to be (extremely) surprisingly quite good. So I watch, up to the point where the Big Bad Davey Jones comes a-walking down the stairs . . . his mouth surrounded by long, drifting tentacles.

It takes all of our willpower not to shout, "MINDFLAYER!" in the theatre.

Anyone else find bizarre pseudo-D&D images/references in unlikely pop culture places?

12-11-05, 03:23 PM Heh.. I caught that too and mentioned it to my girlfriend when we were in the theater watching Narnia. Got hit. But I also started rambling about what would be the D&D stats of people in Narnia...

No, we're not geeks . . . :shifty:
