I hope there were a lot of beaches with you to redeem this event. More importantly, You’d better had smurfed them after the show.

Smurfing, not just for kids anymore!

For me the problem was HOW he died. A silly wound and then a pillow…bleh.

X, I’m disappointed. You guys better see this movie in theaters. If you can watch the lame ass Smurfs or Bridesmaids, then you can see Conan to redeem yourselves.[/quote]

Seriously.

Smurfs? Come on!
[/quote]

Only Smurf zombies are black.

True story.

[/quote]

Well at least the creators weren’t afraid to show their intent. Sesame Street represented black people with PURPLE puppets!

lol[/quote]

When they published it in the US and Canada those black smurfs were purple too.

[/quote]

The Smurfs date back to the 40’s I believe and were initially side characters in some comic strip before they got their own cartoon.

and yeah. they made them purple in America.

If you have to ask why, shoot yourself.[/quote]
Wait I don’t get it why did they make them purple? I keed I keed

But seriously I will go see Conan I always hated the smurfs so I will not see that film at all I still have forgiven them getting 90 freaking minutes on Saturday morning I mean really 90 minutes!!!

That’s what is so great about Game of Thrones, that anything can happen. It’s not predictable like almost every story out there with a hero/protagonist.

59

I hope Conan’s parents and/or people weren’t killed. It wasn’t part of the original Conan stories, and that whole justifying the violence of the protagonist by having him avenge his dead parents or family has been done to death.

Conan is a noble savage, he’s violent because nature is violent. He hasn’t been castrated by a lot of cultural/religious bullshit. He’s elemental.

According to the trailers, it does appear that they are going to use his parent’s death as part of his motivation. I agree with you. What made Conan such a great character to me was the fact that he wasn’t doing what he did for some grand glorious reason. He stole, killed, pillaged and ransacked because that is what would get him what he wanted and that is the world he lives in. Truth be told, most people are not noble, nor do they do the things they do for noble reasons. it is usually simple self-interest and survival.
