It would be interesting to read (here or in the "Conan movie blog") </i><br /><br />Perhaps. I just fail to see how it has to be some sort of "all or nothing", that there's some sort of thermodynamic impossibility that a Conan adaptation can be anything but "a 1:1 adaptation" or "a completely original story." Surely there's some sort of middle ground, at least?<br /><br />I could handle taking a story, and making changes (as long as the changes made sense and were worthwhile.) That's the process of adaptation. That's the sort of stuff I'd have to "get over." I'll go into it at a further date.<br /><br /><i> If it's not in poor taste - may he rest in peace, and not spin in his grave (that hard) when the movie comes out.</i><br /><br />Nah, Howard doesn't strike me as the "spin in his grave" type. He'd be more likely to shrug resignedly while whistling his way to the bank.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-13132847038242610512011-01-22T13:00:19.150+00:002011-01-22T13:00:19.150+00:00If it's not in poor taste - may he rest in pea...If it's not in poor taste - may he rest in peace, and not spin in his grave (that hard) when the movie comes out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-33277476245668762622011-01-22T10:56:35.064+00:002011-01-22T10:56:35.064+00:00Happy Birthday, Bob!
