Kind of like the Koreshans in Florida.

The Conan movies (along with Swamp Thing and Heavy Metal [yeah, Star Wars too]) were my earliest movie memories (mostly seen on the Movie Channel). I can't watch the Destroyer without hitting with the MST3K hammer pretty hard, but I still love the first movie.

I have a very specific memory of being a kid in the 80's and seeing an Eagle and thinking that it was ugly, but that I wanted one.

Doesn't Google know that only an idiot would willingly use their real name on the internet?

That's the best kind of evil.

Now that is a movie I want to see!

Maybe the tech in high-tech means technique? :D

Which is why I think they cast him. The part may have even been written for him, considering.

It never felt like a race relations metaphor. Really it was as much of a coming of age story with Caesar as the main character, as it was an allegory for man playing god and his creation destroying him. Neither aspect felt trite. It is not a retelling of the first Planet of the Apes movie, but one of the later ones.

Mostly I was just trying to make a point of them both playing the same characterizations that their most famous characters exhibited. I don't think he was unjustified at freaking out over Lithgow going all Lord Warfin on him and trying to steal his car. Be he was still nothing but exasperated in every scene he was in.

I'm no Squirrel Jam fan, but I've always thought Eddie Vedder was the perfect person to to play Randall Flagg.

Dark Fire shall not avail you!

Just got back from seeing it and loved it. It's a really solid movie. My only complaints are that I hate seeing Draco Malfoy being typecast as a petulant dickhead, but by the same token, I was really pleased to see Rodney McKay in it playing a petulant dickhead.

But what orbits! (holds up hands side-by-side in an open fingered cupping gesture)

I leave the Twentieth Century with no regrets.

That bottom picture has some serious Major Tom going on.

And with ice mining, comes Ice Pirates!!!

Sweet!

I may have to end my long-held prejudice against the Chemical Brothers. It seems they've learned good song-craft since way back.

I really wish you'd call them Lagrange/Lagrangian points. Every time you say Trojan point, all I think of is a the object in question being nestled in the reservoir tip of a Trojan condom.
