Ah ... nice to have some Barbarian in your day!

Howda!

Went to eat lunch today, and was pleasantly surprised to see Conan the Destroyer on the TV! Awesome! Though it wasn't Conan the Barbarian, it still made lunch a little more fun.

***completely (well, mostly) unrelated yet really interesting sidebar: I once submitted a piece of poetry to a "national competition" (read "we'll publish it if you pay us" - didn't realize it was that until after the fact - but I digress) - I later received a communication from them telling me that they really liked my poem and wanted to publish it in an audiobook compilation, and wanted to know if I had any particular input as to how the poem should be read. I sent the reply back to them that the poem was only to be read by James Earl Jones - but only if he was speaking as Thulsa Doom (costume and everything).

Never did hear back from them...***

I recently rewatched this on DVD, as it came with the original film on sale. I compared this to DA: Awakening; another sequel that fell somewhat short of my expectations complete with cameos & refrences to the earlier work.

And I would love to hear James Earl Jones on audio; one of the more distinct baritone voices since Gregory Peck.
