Kurt Busiek managed to adapt a lot of the stories for the Dark Horse comics and excise Howard’s worst impulses. It’s definitely doable, but it might be more advisable to just write new material.

That film was surprisingly good - much better than the Momoa Conan movie.

It only really crops up in a couple of Lovecraft stories - The Rats in the Walls and The Red Hook Horror - but in Howard’s stuff its largely inescapable. I have a couple of Conan short story collections, and not only does the quality vary wildly from story to story, but the template he re-used over and over becomes…

I wonder how much of the source material they’re going to use - there’s hundreds of stories, but about 80% of them are Conan rescuing naked white ladies from dark-skinned savages and/or wrestling giant Freudian snakes.

This is all the online stuff. You can play through the single player mode and not encounter this nonsense at all (which is how I recommend you play).

Oh shit, the world isn’t ready to function without Willie. We’ve lost too many real motherfuckers recently. Maybe it’s time to switch to edibles and vaporizers - way less rough on the old lungs.

I know, right?

Presumably, he has Mojo Nixon’s weird spiral haircut from the movie under the hat.

The list of things that don’t make any sense here is just massive.

Don’t forget: What the hell was going on with the foosball table? That scene made me laugh harder than the Ouija board that bursts into flame in the first Paranormal Activity.

He’ll always be Roy from the IT Crowd in everything I ever see him in, forever.

The arm thing didn’t make a lick of sense either - how did it know about the Russian? How was it still functional (and seemingly sentient)? Does Ireland really have a space program??

If the whole movie had had that tone it would’ve been much better. O’Dowd seemed to be the only one who realized what kind of movie he was in (although props to Gugu Mbatha-Raw for actually giving it her all).

I thought it was ok, but it would’ve been so much better not having to tie into Cloverfield at all. The ending should’ve been ambiguous.

Chris O’Dowd’s in this? Hmm, I’m 5% more interested now.

It’s like all those Peter Gabriel records called “Peter Gabriel”.

Brian Blessed as Armstrong, please.

Came here for this joke.

Or, hear me out, maybe don’t use autoplay videos at all.

Damn, that’s an AV Club deep cut, there.
