A rags to riches to rags again story. This is how White Wolf blew it big time when they had what was probably the biggest RPG property in the world. It was sad to see, especially when the company basically took an enormous dump on their loyalest fans for the sake of a buck. Who knows, they may have still been around if not for that single event alone.
What also struck me were the 'fans' they depicted as being VtG fans. They were all young, thin and beautiful. They were stylishly dressed or immaculately costumed if it was a historical setting. It just seemed a bit, improbable? Believe me when I say I have met many fat goths in my time and many fat role players, I didn't see either in the film. They all looked like fetish models, even the ones trying to look ugly. I suspect the hiring of extras or, at the very least, some very careful vetting!
Disclaimer: I'm no oil painting either and could certainly do with shedding a stone (or two.)
