Oliver stones script for conan the barbarian. It was supposed to be directed by Ridley Scott but he left to do Blade Runner.

Thought this comment would make a couple people smile.

That IS funny, but only after I had to go back and plow through several years' worth of posts to learn the movie he was talking about. Would it have hurt you to save us the work and tell us it was AVATAR???

^ funny - you mean several posts right? Because it was only 1 page prior out of a two page thread. Hilarious!

They're publishing these scripts at a higher rate than that one dude is publishing his stripping pictures.

How was Paul Anderson’s Resident Evil movie faithful to the game? It had none of the characters and the story line was totally different. Yea, it had the mansion (which they were in for literally 10 minutes), zombies, zombie dogs, Umbrella (if I recall they were only mentioned a few times), and A Licker, but other than that it was Resident Evil in name only.

As for Romero’s commercials being cheesy, have you played the first couple Resident Evil games? THEY are cheesy. They are supposed to be cheesy because they are a throwback/homage to B-grade zombie movies of the 60s and 70s. I only read parts of Romero’s script, but I recall it being a hell of a lot better than that MTV grade shit Paul Anderson gave us (and don’t get me started on that shitfeast Resident Evil Extinction).

and from a hazey memory, harosa, i completely disagree. a huge chunk of the game takes place in a mansion, where as the movie is placed in a mansion for about 5 mintues. sure it had the tyrant, zombies, and zombie dogs, but i wouldn't go so far as to call it "Super faithful."
I don’t want to sound like a prick, but the movie did not have the Tyrant. It had a Licker who, I believe, turned into a bigger Licker at the end.

There was a scene in Blade Runner that felt very Conan like from the tales envisioned when Roy Batty dodges Deckard's gunshot by flying across the screen... that felt like something Conan did in those dungeons a lot.

Well, it took three whole years to make that page (and another three to make this one), so I was plowing through "several years" of posts.

Maybe while you are waiting for him to post some half naked pictures of himself, you could find other ways to satisfy your desire to view male strippers.
