re: Netflix developing a Conan The Barbarian series

Although it is a joke l, I do expect Netflix to frick this up royally. Conan is a Cimmerian, which means he's Nordic.

I also expect them downplay the testosterone aspect of the original film.

What they should do is call John Milius yesterday to advise the whole show. Yes, he's been sidelined by a stroke, but his mind is probably still sharp enough to do it.

He proved that you can feature black characters and women in a fantasy epic, yet still keep the tone fully masculine and badass.

I suspect Netflix will play up the female role much more than it needs to be. There will probably be a scene where she kicks Conan's arse when they first meet.

They also better not frick up the music but I know they will. Nothing can touch Poledouris' score, but they should at least use it as a base.

If it fails, no biggie. The 1982 masterpiece will always be around.

How about a trailer for old times sake. LINK
