Oh...Regarding a Conan movie a la Sin City or 300... Oh, I didn't realize that Pixar had acquired the Robert E. Howard characters!<BR/><BR/>I would rather watch Deathstalker on endless loop for a year than sit through some goony, cartoon, fake-ass, green-screen, fighting-with-a-tennis-ball, Star-Wars-prequils version of fucking Conan.Kevie Metalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908746632909933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-6682375000371668312008-07-15T13:15:00.000-04:002008-07-15T13:15:00.000-04:00I must be missing a link in my geek DNA, but I fuc...I must be missing a link in my geek DNA, but I fucking hate both Conan films. The first was far better than the second, but I really want to see a Conan film that employs buff ACTORS with lush settings and Frazettian art/ costume design (as per 300 or Pathfinder) rather than bodybuilders running around deserts in bulky loincloths (as per the 1980s thud & blunder flicks). <BR/><BR/>Also, I'm hoping that the new Conan film's producers look to the hard-R territory of 300 or Sin City (both of which made tons of money) rather than Live Free and Die Hard (which wussed out and lost tons of money). Yeah, 300, Pathfinder and Sin City had their problems too, but I'd much rather see that approach taken than sit through another Schwartzeneggar Conan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-51474380172059955782008-07-15T08:59:00.000-04:002008-07-15T08:59:00.000-04:00I didn't forget THE BEASTMASTER or THE SWORD AND T...I didn't forget THE BEASTMASTER or THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER; they were excluded from the list because I don't find them to be "cruddy" like the others mentioned.
