Now I know that there has been so much stupid controversy over this film but let me just say this: all of that is utterly stupid. I’ve seen the original, I love the original, and to be quite frank, while this movie may be a reboot with an all-female cast, it’s hilarious.

By: Adam Ma (@34thGingerbread) One of the first memories I have of meeting my wife was in a castle. My companions had just cleared the first floor of it’s undead inhabitants and we were moving up its maze-like corridors, old musty bookshelves and dreary decor when we realized that our party wasn’t quite as strong as it should be.
