The 500,00 dead from covid and the 7 million with long covid, won’t.

Be prepared to never wake up.

wake me when something is actually done about these traitors.

Sometimes more than once...

Obviously, this is just a stunt to establish his bonafides to run for President as a Republican.

Yah, but she gives no shits, and sends it back as hard as she gets it.

“The Biden administration should have taken action sooner. The president is only now invoking the Defense Production Act to prioritize ingredients and get them to formula manufacturers, as well as authorizing a program to use military aircraft to import formula from abroad.”

Let me pull your bootlicking ass out of the greys for a tick...

It’s also made more dangerous by our (lack of) gun laws. In most Western countries police officers don’t walk into every interaction assuming that the other party might be armed with a firearm. 

“Policing is a difficult, dangerous job”

“Destroyed” is just a tiny bit of an overstatement.

There’s really not that much damage, not sure why the big drama. Ferrari probably still has spare parts, and if not they’ll manufacture what they need.

Indeed.  Modern writers forget that its way better to give you a slice of a world rather than explain every corner of it.

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.

There’s a lot of tossed-off bits that work the way they did in Star Wars (‘77), hinting at a larger, full-of-weird-shit world without making you have to stop and parse it out to orient yourself. Like “just another snake cult”, I love that.

The R8 seems closer to the simple lines of the original NSX. Stretch the nose out a little, and give the lines more of a straight horizontal tendency.

There’s an austerity to Conan the Barbarian that I wish more filmmakers had employed when sword & sorcery flicks were having their brief moment back in the early-to-mid eighties. And one which I hope is utilized in the likely inevitable revival of the genre.

100% agree. The soundtrack is perfect and really does elevate the movie, taking it from great to all time classic.

Basil Poledouris seems to be underrated as a film score composer. Such great work in the ‘80s. But yeah, Conan has to be my favorite from him. The music plays a huge part in my enjoyment of this sword and sorcery epic.

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.
