Dungeons & Dragons (2000)
Blue lips
I don't care about anything. I don't care about the laughingly bad costumes that I think could've been bought by a high school theatre production's budget. I don't care about the bad script, bad acting, bad bad CGI.
I care only about why that evil guy's second in command dude with the bald head had a metallic blue lipstick on? Why? I couldn't look at literally anything else. At first I thought it was just a weird reflection but no he had someone put metallic blue lipstick on him. No one even mentions it. Not once. There is no indication something is slightly different about him, so I'm guessing he has always put on metallic blue lipstick.
It confounds me. I am utterly transfixed and bewilered as to why this decision was made. Everyday they sat in hair and makeup and thought let's put on a metallic blue lipstick on this bald guy. And no one objected?
I'm telling you I looked at his blue lips only. All I thought was about them. When he's being cursed or whatever and those weird things are coming out of his ears, I literally was still looking at his lips. What brand did they even find a shade like that in? It didn't smudge or nothing with him battling.
Like you're telling me this was a decision they made, like it came into thier heads and they never reconsidered. It was never explained in the script, like was it because he had evil powers? Like his lips are poison???? What?
In the battle scene, there is tons of CGI so I guess because of shading his lips look a little less blue but the lipstick was clearly not CGI they physically applied it on his lips. Everyday they made that choice.
I honestly was just wondering about this the whole movie. It's the only reason to watch this film.

Comforting to watch
I am perhaps not the best critic on IMDb. I like things easily, this movie being one of those things.
From the beginning, the movie had a sense of keeping you safe. I guess I felt that way because it had all my comfort things in one movie. I loved when Jesse walked with a book in his hand, reminded me of myself in high school. I love how Zibby was so full of potential and aware of her advancements. I love how Prof. Judith was the epitome of the femme fatale, I loved how comically Jesse was surprised by it. I most of all LOVE the intellectual prowess of every character. To talk of literature, discuss opera over hand-written letters, oh my heart dies by the sheer romance and dedication.
It has everything that you have wanted to experience in your college life. Never forget the Zac Efron type of character that does somehow materialize on campus when you're going through a weird patch.
In the end, I like how Jesse was able to see and appreciate his younger days without forgetting the bad parts that nostalgia often skips over. I like how he began to like his life as it is without wishing for it to be completely different, which is more living in fantasy (books) than reality.
I like how he made changes to improve aspects of his life that he needed to grow out of. Growth is the ultimate journey, as reflected by the ending scene.
Lovely watch, I recommend it especially when you need to fall in love with some simpler things in life.
