Yeah the idea of Conan being a barbarian in a distant future is dumb.

Mostly because they already did a movie like that and it was called Yor: Hunter of the Future.

It is the worst.

I'm surprised nobody's ever made a John Carter of Mars film

They did. But just looking at the cast list made me suppress a gag reflex. The reviews on Netflix are not promising.

I loved those books as a kid. I refuse to watch this drek.

Haha Love this review: "The only excuse I can think of for the existence of this movie is because someone found a way to generate power from E. R. B. Spinning in his grave."

I remember the highlander cartoon the kid found an assault rifle and basically fucked everyone up with it.

Bitching about Conan in the future has me thinking about how much I want to see a Kamandi cartoon. Not that it is close to the idea of future Conan.

That Conan game that came out for the 360 wasn't half bad. It wasn't revolutionary or anything but it's worth the 10$ it'll cost you now.

I really really enjoyed that, some tasty voice acting from Ron Perlman and Claudia Black in it to.

"I am Conan; I serve no man."
"Would you serve a woman then?"
"Service her perhaps."

Has everyone read the first 4 volumes or so of Conan from Dark Horse Comics? I kind of lost interest after Kurt Busiek left but his run on the book was great.

That run was pretty awesome especially the first book, The Frost-Giant's Daughter And Other Stories.

John Carter is basically who I wanted to be when I grew up. He's like Superman without all the lame shit about truth and justice. Instead he's just a hopped-up Appalachian with a sabre who goes around chopping up Goro monsters and banging Martian broads and hanging out with a giant green lion-dachshund.

I'm not at all sure about the movie, though. Those books are basically what you point to when you're talking about the concept of "unfilmable."

I adore the original Conan stories. I hope this is even half as good.

Burden of Proof

hmm, the trailer for this is really bad

bummer
