60 of 220 · most liked firstHey BlueSky folks… what are your top three favorite scores for film, TV, or games? I’ll start! These are the three I’m feeling tonight… - Conan the Barbarian by Basil Poledouris - Star Trek The Motion Picture by Jerry Goldsmith - Close Encounters of the Third Kind by John Williams
neutral · AI labelView post →Old and Busted: "Die Hard is a Christmas movie." New Hotness: "Robocop and Conan The Barbarian are Easter movies."
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Conan the Barbarian has to be in the conversation for best soundtrack of all time. Arnold says like 350 words the whole movie, and it falls to the score to do all of the emotional heavy lifting and it doesn't so much rise to the challenge as ascend majestically
positive · AI labelView post →RIP renowned Italian film poster artist Renato Casaro. Considered one of the most influential Italian poster designers, Casaro leaves behind a legacy of hand-painted artwork for thousands of films, including such classics as Conan the Barbarian, Octopussy, and A Fistful of Dollars. He was 89.

neutral · AI labelView post →JAMES EARL JONES We lost a LEGEND today. He played a king in many movies (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, COMING TO AMERICA, THE LION KING, & tbh DART VADER was kinda king figure) & he was a KING in the movie industry, an actors' actor, a Maestro, a Legend. Thank you, JEJ, Rest in Power ❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →But the "brainless barbarian" trope didn't start with Howard. I suspect it's associated with him in part because of the CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) film. Arnold Schwarzeneggar doesn't play Conan as stupid or illiterate either - hell, he can read the poetry of Khitai and the philosophy of Tsung!
neutral · AI labelView post →1982's Conan the Barbarian is a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger kicking ass and fighting snakes...but it also presents a far more thoughtful, sympathetic version of Conan than people realize. Let's talk beefy heroes, Thulsa Doom, and...feminism?

positive · AI labelView post →Films to Books 📚=🎞️ Conan the Barbarian (1982) by L. Sprague de Camp, Lin Carter & Catherine Crook de Camp is the film novelization. The book delves deeper into the world of Cimmeria & its people. More detail is added to Conan's slavery as a youth with changes to the end. 🗡️🔥🔮 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →A slew of people have messaged me about the Hollywood Reporter article posted earlier today discussing a new Conan the Barbarian movie. Obviously I'd love to see our Cimmerian return to the silver screen, but beyond that I don't know details and can't substantiate any of it right now. Sorry!
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Conan the Barbarian for the first time during this week's movie night. I was very glad to see so much snake content, but I do think the movie could have included more snake content. Also, some of the romance lines went HARD AS ALL HELL?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Good: Lots of discussion around CONAN THE BARBARIAN online right now, a surge of excitement for the prose stories, comics, games, and movies. The Bad: Being tagged or sent links to every AI-generated slop-o-rama with fake stories, fake philosophy, and fake movie footage. STAAAHP~!
neutral · AI labelView post →Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite movies, and probably my late father’s favotire film right next to Blade Runner. My dad loved the Conan series (books and films) always wanted to see King Conan on the big screen. Hoping this gets made so I can watch it for him.
positive · AI labelView post →James Earl Jones with this micro bang is taking me the FUCK OUT!!!! He was in character, Thulsa Doom from the 1982 Conan The Barbarian movie.

So cool to see these comic covers on the big screen. Zub put in a lot of thought & effort. Applauses all around.
neutral · AI labelView post →An example I gave us Conan the Barbarian. Is it a GOOD movie? Maybe not is it a GREAT movie? Helllllllllll yeah
positive · AI labelView post →CONAN! Did the 1982 Conan the Barbarian movie introduce me to Hyboria? Yes. Is it a good Conan movie? No. Is it a fantastic movie in it's own right? Yes. Do I prefer the movie or OG Conan? The OG. Are the comics any good? God, yes. Are the non-Howard novels any good? Hit and miss for me.
neutral · AI labelView post →Basil Poledouris really fucking nailed the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian. It transcends the movie, and I'd love to hear it - or an interpretation of it - in the upcoming animated show.
positive · AI labelView post →37) Even a bad Sword & Sorcery film has something to teach you I'm fully onboard with the idea that a bad film teaches you more about filmmaking than a good one, and that is especially true with S&S following the release of CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982), with so many terrible & wonderful movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Arnold talk about his film roles and he said he had to do all his own stunts for Conan the Barbarian because at that time there were no stuntmen with his physique. I had honestly never thought of that. He was the only guy in Hollywood that size in 1981— now every leading man is jacked

neutral · AI labelView post →Also watched a bizarre French arthouse film called She is Conann (2023) which is supposedly a modernist feminist take on Conan the Barbarian, but I mostly don't see the connection. It's a very stylish movie that punches above its low budget. Very visually distinctive and well-directed. 1/2
neutral · AI labelView post →> as an actor Schwarzenegger may have had a very specific niche he fit within as an actor, but when he worked within that niche he was *excellent.* If you look at Conan the Barbarian, it should not have worked as a movie, and yet it absolutely does, and no small part of that is his acting. Dude can smolder stoically. Terminator, T2, Running Man, Total Recall, Predator, they're all excellent uses of his very specific type. Then jump ahead to True Lies and Last Action Hero, where he's arguably…
neutral · AI labelView post →Conan The Barbarian (2011). Terrible, terrible film. Humans are like bags of blood that pop like paintballs when you puncture them. Every fight is an action painting. It's not even a good bad film. There is nothing to entertain here. Even Morgan Freeman was bored. By Crom, this was bad.
negative · AI labelView post →Conan the Barbarian (1982) has one of the best sequences ever put to film. The Battle of the Mounds, when 2 (well, 3) stood against many. John Milius directed a blinder; in fact, this entire movie is one of the best shot movies ever and it really captures what I feel is the vibe of Conan's world.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Conan the Barbarian for movie night... The real star of the movie is the costume department because some of the outfits in this are insane.
positive · AI labelView post →Conan the Barbarian is the greatest fantasy film ever made because it maintains a holistic vision of this other world, with its own relationship with deep time, mythology, and the exercise of power. An absolutely singular vision.
positive · AI labelView post →John Milnus’ Conan The Barbarian is a flawless film. Clint Eastwood has a bunch of genuine bangers in his filmography. Batman, the wealthy vigilante, could not be more right wing coded.

neutral · AI labelView post →Look, all I'm saying is that I can't see a problem with a 1980s sword n' sorcery-style movie starring WWE wrestlers. 'It's like Conan the Barbarian, but with bigger swords and suplexes'.
neutral · AI labelView post →65) CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) was the first Sword & Sorcery genre film. Certainly, there were fantasy films involving warriors & wizards that predated CONAN. You can certainly make a case for HAWK THE SLAYER (1980) as S&S. But CONAN ignited the genre; HAWK did not.
neutral · AI labelView post →But Eddie didn’t actually question the idea, just asked if he’ll eat macaroni from a box and told him to bring Conan the Barbarian, a film Eddie has rented six times. Watching him do his nerd thing is shockingly endearing, the trailer shockingly comfortable, and he can have a beer in the open.
