And it's all available for your guilty viewing pleasure on Youtube (until whoever owns the rights discovers it and yanks it off).<br /><br />Speaking of origins for Sonja, I think the Dynamite take on her origins (and the reason she's such an untouchable bad ass) are right up there with Conan's origins (Dark Horse has been doing a fine job filling those out a little more than REH ever had a chance to). I wonder if the film version is going to be true to the current comic incarnation or if this will just be a whole 'nother take on the character.Bartskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298829772425154584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-41623791321691286392010-01-23T21:19:10.303+00:002010-01-23T21:19:10.303+00:00pardon me- "make RED SONJA into CONAN III&quo...pardon me- "make RED SONJA into CONAN III"Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11814827714980192042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-19532923178876996442010-01-23T21:18:25.421+00:002010-01-23T21:18:25.421+00:00I also thought for a long time that someone should...I also thought for a long time that someone should make RED SONJA in CONAN III...ala HIGHLANDER 2 the renegade version and Just tinker with the title and credits and dub AHnolds voice over with Ahnold saying " CONEN " when his name is asked of him.

Athletics were not as common. Jack Hill, who made <i>Coffy</i> and <i>Foxy Brown</i>, talks about how hard it was to match other women up to Pam Grier, who was quite athletic. Today we'd have a thousand choices, but then it was hard to get someone who was not <i>too</i> doughy.Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-44054559027993580632010-01-22T20:09:50.572+00:002010-01-22T20:09:50.572+00:00Hey Shon I just recognized your pic-one of my favo...Hey Shon I just recognized your pic-one of my favorite movies-awesome.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-83422092071070745732010-01-22T20:08:02.679+00:002010-01-22T20:08:02.679+00:00Great review.

We didn't need an orgin to enjoy the bulk of characters we enjoy now-it seems like a layover from the Golden age of comics and to a lessed degree the Silver age-but I'd wager most of us don't need them to appreciate a good story.<br /><br />Yes, disapointment at the mullet and lack of figure. And I have to laugh at the Locknar comment-that was sitting in the back of my brain and never spoken till now.<br /><br />And bad as the movie is it still has moments I like-Brytag, and I enjoy how exciteable my kids get at the machine beast in the water. They are 4 and 3.<br /><br />When it comes to casting-I think I would have liked someone like (I'm trying to think 1985 here) Kim Basinger is where my mind goes first.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159528645952350567.post-71806201242327669082010-01-22T16:52:28.490+00:002010-01-22T16:52:28.490+00:00Sandahl Bergman was wonderful in this movie.

Maybe the abandoned <i>She-Hulk</i> could have been good? Her photos with Helmut Newton certainly are.Darius Whiteplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950956139088139753noreply@blogger.com
