Review of Knights of Badassdom (2014) by Dc B — 03 Jan 2015

The Pitch Review.

DIRECTOR: This. Is. Hysterical. I cannot stop laughing. How'd you come up with this, dude?

WRITER: Well, kind sir, I shall retell unto thee the tale of its conception. I fell asleep writing yon Doom Metal rock ballad, and was blessed with a crazy, fanciful dream from the netherworld of my broken heart... I arose donned in full attire, and shazaa, the tale bespoke itself onto the pallet of yon scrivening node.

PRODUCER: What the heck did he just say?

DIRECTOR: He said he writes doom metal music, got dumped by his girlfriend, does LARP, and came up with this funny horror story. I mean, the ex-girlfriend as the succubus? Classic.

PRODUCER: Well, it's a fantastic blend of comedy, horror, and heavy metal! [to writer] "Well done, good sir!." But the only way we can sell it is if our actors are good & can sell it. They've got to fit the part, and embrace the story.

DIRECTOR: I completely agree. If they don't buy the story, they're out. We'll cast it perfectly. And the sets aren't too important, because it's told kind of tongue-in-cheek.

WRITER: Yay, verily, good wizard.

PRODUCER: (under breath) Shut up, writer.
