Things that go bump in the night lives on.

	Conan the barbarian was a better movie than, conan
the destroyer, I agree with Jeff and I disagree.  While
its true that Thulsa doom was a hack job of Howards
villains,  James Earl Jones did manage to do an incredible
job creating one of the best all around bad guys I've
seen on the screen.  I couldn't help picturing him saying
Give in to the dark side of the force young barbarian!

	I guess J. E. Jones is destined to be a great
villain whatever he does.

	Conan the destroyer, lacked the immense presence
of an awesomely powerful evil, and it suffered because of 
it.  Conan shines the most as he hacks his way through
hords of creeps who deserve violent slapstick gore; and
he lives for the moments when he can crush his most
mortal enemies, and take their women.  Conan the 
destroyer did not really give him the chance.

	One thing I give the movie credit for, It
really developed conans sense of humor.  I guess all
those days that Arnold sat in on Howard Sterns 
rush hour NBC show paid off.
