Nobody’s saying the government should force him to be quiet, they’re using their free speech to call an asshole an asshole.

I would counter that telling a bunch of depressed autistic people that taking large doses of unnatural hormones and cutting off parts of their bodies will finally make them happy does a lot more damage to society than anything I’ve ever said or thought.
Ebert as a TV “thumbs up/thumbs down” guy maybe wasn’t that great and I often disagreed with him (but not as much as with Siskel who comically hated nearly every genre movie but loved even the most pretentious art film). But Ebert’s written reviews (for which he rightfully won a Pulitzer) were excellent and still…
When a racist psychopath kills double digits of people in Germany, it’s a major event that shocks the entire nation and gets declared a terrorist attack.
I agree with all of this. Milius definitely created a culture that felt pre-modern in a way that a lot of other ‘80s and subsequent sword and sorcery films really didn’t, just by leaving out all the quippy dialogue and letting Conan and his friends express themselves with their physicality.
I think, with all respect to Beastmaster, this was the best live action fantasy movie made until the Lord of the Rings films. So if you count the trilogy as individual films, it is now the fourth best fantasy movie.
I like Destroyer for what it is but it does not have this speech, thus its inferior
I’m not sure the movie is espousing a might-makes-right philosophy. It’s just a lawless world where might equals survival and possibly power. And Conan’s the baddest motherfucker in it. It’s more Road Warrior than Triumph of the Will.
Aw, no mention of Basil Poledouris’s legendary score for the film? It practically makes the movie. Conan’s prayer to Crom intercut with Thulsa Doom and his riders closing in as the sweeping music plays always gets to me.
Man, it is crazy to suddenly be reminded of both how old Conan the Barbarian is and also how much I absolutely love it as a movie. Don’t get me wrong, it has several flaws, but where I disagree with the review here with about is that what makes the movie so iconic and enduring is that it succeeds in being ultimately…
Would you like a jelly baby?
Gallifrey Stands?
Also LOL at the idea that RTD returning to Doctor Who will be anything other than a ratings juggernaut for the first season at least.
We're never going to stop laughing at you.
Die mad about it.
Personally, I can’t wait until scrotes like you realize they don’t have to comment on every thread of something they don’t like.
You can’t really compare the two. The 70s were mostly scenery for That 70s Show. Love or hate the show, you have to admit it focused on it’s characters for the humor.
Jesus Christ.
Ever seen Fringe, which he co-created? I think it’s even better than The X-Files.
Big Homophobia? How about Big Bestiality?
