'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Heh. We watched Conan the Destroyer last week.
Yup. Still good cheesy fun. The Barbarian is always my fave, though, for the James Earl, the Thulsa Doom (deedee DUM, dadada deedle-deedle-deedle dum, dadada, deedeedum yadda da dum dee deedle dum, do-doodle) throne room dirge, and knowing at exactly which point Sandahl set her wig on fire. Plus, Mako, and Sandahl's "Do you want to live forever?" was a catchphrase within my coterie for decades. Probably still would be, in the right circumstances.
Yeah, the acting isn't stellar, but I love the entire package. It's very epic. That last battle of the two of them--plus Mako--against Thulsa Doom's army is just terrific.
I liked the part where they were fighting off evil spirits trying to take Conan to the land of the dead. Or whatever. The spirits looked way better and cooler than I expected.
Still good cheesy fun.
Yeah, I think it'd be more enjoyable with company. I had this whole running commentary in my head during the first twenty minutes that went something like this:
So Sam Weechester is hanging out with his dad and his mom, Angelina Jolie, when they're attacked and his dad is killed by EVIL DOGS. And then Darth Vader kills his mom. So they take him away and he pushes a giant donkey wheel, which transports him to Tunisia and transforms him into the Terminator, but with longer hair. Then he groans in pain for ten whole minutes.
Captain America costume. Apparently for reals. I like it.
Hey ita - I'll bet you're with me and are excited about Antman, yes??

Oh, it had BETTER happen. I'm not holding my breath, but I wants it, I do.
Is Edgar Wright still attached?
Oh, Aims, you shouldn't watch Conan the Barbarian. Conan punches a camel in the face. Seriously.

Joe is very firmly in the camp of NO ANTMAN. I want it bad.
He punches another one in The Destroyer, too. Conan is apparently anti-camel.
Well, aren't all right minded people? (Looking at YOU, Aims...)
Camels are stanky spittin' things. I side with Conan.
