You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible

Then again the original cut of Fellowship of the Ring is the perfect fantasy movie.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Conan would have destroyed Sauron in under five minutes then spent the rest of the movie getting laid, unlike those lame rear end hobbits they got.

*pushing up glasses* Ahem, I'll have you know that Sword and Sorcery and High Fantasy are separate genres. Furthermore, Conan's unwillingness to trust in magic of all sorts would leave him wholly unprepared to deal with enemies such as Saruman or Sauron.

Real Talk I'm a much bigger Conan nerd than I am a LOTR nerd, but I think the Conan movies are not on the LOTR movies' level, despite being great and timeless. They also make some weird changes to Conan himself (and I don't mean his hair color being wrong or w/e).

Grace Jones is amazing in Conan the Destroyer.

Kind of wonder with the popularity of Fantasy movies and studios looking for a "trilogy" or whatever we haven't gotten a Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser movie.
