Conan the Barbarian

In the mood for myths and legends? Butter the popcorn! “Conan the Barbarian” fills the bill.
Earlier in the week I finished reading: Bull From the Sea by Mary Renault and wanted more. Time for Conan. The movie has many of the characters found in the book: warrior hero, fabulous fair haired chick in chain-maille, sorceress/wizard types, snakes lurking in dark places... Oh! and the beef cake! Thanks Arnold...
What fun for a Winter weekend: Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger, as Conan, James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom (the bad guy) and Sandahl Bergman as Valeria

Harvey

Harvey

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
