I finally watched my Plumeria Blu-ray release of Mazes & Monsters. Restored from the best available source, apparently. I don’t fucking think so. Hopefully won’t need to . . . roll the dice on any of their other releases.

Vista también (, 1982), una TV movie que tuvo cierta controversia por tratar el tema de los "peligros" de los juegos de rol, en una época en la que empezaban a ser populares y algunas voces y medios se levantaron alertando de que jugar a rol creaba psicópatas.
Hoy día da bastante candor verla, pero a su favor debo decir que, pese al rechazo que obtuvo de la comunidad rolera, es bastante inofensiva y deja bien claro que el personaje problemático (un joven Tom Hanks) lo es porque está trastornado, no porque los juegos de rol tengan peligro alguno.
Me parece más "grave" el tufillo homófobo encubierto que le veo; no deja de ser curioso que el protagonista sea un tipo que no quiere/puede tener relaciones sexuales con mujeres y que sus "visiones" siniestras tengan un aire filogay.
Con sus defectos propios de ser un telefilme, lo cierto es que es interesante por ser una de las pocas películas que tratan este tema.
6/10.

Well, I'm convinced. If you love your children, you won't let them play RPGs. It inevitably leads to insanity.

Dammit, Peacock! A commercial break in the last two minutes of the movie?! Then it skips the last two minutes? WTF?!?! You've ruined a masterpiece!

Wow! Not only did these kids realize the dangers of RPGs, but also learned a valuable lesson about getting a marketable degree. Win-win!!!

If you ever see a group of college kids hugging at the top of a skyscraper, know that it must have to do with RPGs.

There's a lot of elevator riding in this part of the movie.

Thank Pelor that a bunch of college kids (one only 16) are on the case. The cops are useless.

Tom Hanks: "I'm Pardu, a holy man."
Homeless guy: "I'm the king of France."
@tomhanks (bowing): "Your majesty."

This is not meant as a joke. This is meant to show the effects of playing RPGs.

In fairness to the movie, I've known several RPG players that have killed street toughs on the mean streets of New York City.

The cops couldn't find Robbie even though he's openly walking the streets of New York City?

"Robbie a doper? Downers? Drink?"

"You and Kate Finch go together?" "Well sure."

"Mazes and Monsters is a far out game."
"It's all imagination."
"Is it?"

Great police work. Great dialogue.

That's a weird shot of Robbie's wallet. Why is the cash hanging out of it?

This 16-year-old sophomore throws a lot of college parties.

How this movie didn't win an Oscar is beyond me.
