put them in the Plot-O-Matic 80 (tm) and came up with...
something.
And the names of those screenwriters are John Milius and Oliver Stone.

Ah. THAT explains the deleted scenes of Doom trying to
do in Conan from a grassy knoll.....
Or, if it was a D&D movie, a Grassy Gnoll.

Okay, I gotta say, I enjoyed the heck out of Conan the Destroyer, I really really did. Of course, it could be because it came out when I was only 12, Mom originally said I was too young to see it, then she got really angry at a colleague and decided a movie with lots of sword deaths was the catharthis she needed to recover, and I got to see great, cheesy fun at a young age. But basically, it just makes me giggle in a fun way.
I also have to admit, I liked Grace Jones in it. I always figured that's what she was like in real life. Of course, I also liked Grace Jones in Vamp. Well okay, I liked Vamp, and Grace Jones seemed appropriately weird and bloodthirsty for it.
"Formica. Go figure."
My husband teases me for liking both of these. But he's a huge Xanadu fan, so he's got no room to talk.
I came, I saw, I was really too tired to deal with it so I just went to bed. |
