It's curious that the most memorable thing in those movies is a camel

| Come on, Daggoth has been a household name since I first saw that movie. I don't how many people I've educated on the ways of Daggoth. How twisted is that?
Wilt Chamberlain as Bombatta, it doesn't get any better than that.
Well, I guess it does, I found the first Conan to be quite entertaining. Did you know that the Oriental guy who played Suba-tai (spelling?) was a surfer and friend of Ahhh-nalds.
James Earl Jones delivered some good lines in the first Conan as well: "Infidel defilers, they shall all drown in pools of blood." Quote:

| | | Conan the arBarian - not so great, but there are more memories than just the camel - wasn't the snake arrow in that one? I always thought that James Earl Jones went down too easy at the end - it was anticlimactic. Has anyone read the Conan books? They're actually much better than the movies and very action packed.
I agree that Ah-nold has been bad lately. I did finally just catch "The End of Days" and thought it was OK, but that maybe partly because I am such a Gabriel Byrne fan. He is just so cool
@sleep, Georgi, RPGer - you mentioned Big Lebowski but I don't see the signature anywhere ?!?! Anyway, I've been watching it all the time lately, I think the Coen Bros movies always take a few years and a few viewings to sink in, hence all the Big Lebowsky references right now. One mention was in PC Gamer last month, talking about wolfenstein, they quoted John Goodman "say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos".
My favorite quotes right now are everything Jesus says (wouldn't make it past the censor though), of course the nihilists at the end "but his girlfriend gave up her toe. It's not fair!" Goodman: "not fair! Who's the nihilists here?". And when the Dude gets drugged by Jackie Chiles and his voice is all distorted as he's saying "the kid just wanted the car....all the dude ever wanted was his rug back".

Yeah, I saw Big Lebowski again recently, appreciation increases with multiple viewings... RPGer must have removed his sig, and I can't remember what the quote was now...  Jesus has to be one of the best cameos in any movie ever...

| | | all right, Georgi!
You know, I'm a man, and I'm a complete man, you know, that likes woman and everything, but I have to say that that Gabriel Byrne is dreamy. You can appreciate that it sounds like. You know what I think is a tragedy? They should've made Gabriel Byrne the new James Bond. You know what I'm saying? I think that would have been incredible, he maybe could've rivaled Sean Connery. Oh well.

| way better than roger moore, tim dalton, or remington steele. gabby byrne could rival connery in the aspect of a cool, martini drinking, cigarette smoking, love em and leave em, take no prisoners kind of bond. everyone since connery has failed to carry the weight. For your eyes only and live and let die were both good efforts by moore. the living daylights was a decent movie because it was funny, and golden eye was decent because natalya was gorgeous and trevalyn, sean bean, is always good. does anyone know if there is a sean bean movie out there where he acutally lives through the final credits.
patriot games - dead
ronin - dead
lord of the rings - dead
golden eye - dead
well, i'm sure he lived through something.
@ HighLordDave,
I'm just kidding about educating people about daggoth although it has always been an inside joke between my father and I.
About the Coen bro's - HighLordDave has a dvd review thread here in SYM. the coen brothers are referred to in there. check it out. coen brothers and others chat

So, is there a chance you'll be the second to convert. Janine's already joined.
Just look at my sig and you know that's a good thing.
