The new movie's concessions to Milius don't help either.<br /><br /><i>Conan will never have the same recognition as Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes or Batman.</i> <br /><br />Seriously? One is the archetypal jungle man, one the archetypal detective, and one's as well known as Superman. Conan is the archetypal barbarian.<br /><br /><i>You won't get a more sincere attempt at making good cinema out of Conan than the Milius attempt.</i><br /><br />Milius basically stole the brand. This movie's not going to exorcise his spirit from it, but it's a start, and I dream of the one that finally can.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315348028756856231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-37924646190935861332011-07-31T02:26:39.862+01:002011-07-31T02:26:39.862+01:00What do the colours mean?

You can't blame the public conception on crap marketing ploys that use imagery,story and even the same title from the '82 film. I would still rather it was John Milius and Arnhuld doing "King Conan: Crown of Iron" than this Nispel helmed Momoa vehicle riffing creakilly on the Milius movie.At least it would be something new. Conan will never have the same recognition as Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes or Batman. He was never marketed in the writers own lifetime or for a long while afterward and only became popular (for good or bad) when he was being pastiched. The purity of Howard's character was diluted as far back as "The god in the bowl"(1952?) by de Camp. One things for sure. You won't get a more sincere attempt at making good cinema out of Conan than the Milius attempt.Steve Dilksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-87077244258831145942011-07-30T13:19:46.960+01:002011-07-30T13:19:46.960+01:00Ha ha ha ha!!
