Schwarzenegger agrees to Conan the Barbarian. Sounds interesting.

O dear Og.

This is truly Cohen the Barbarian. And girlfriend.

I wish it wouldn’t take a massive shit on Robert E. Howard’s work like the others did. It’s a crime that the movies are most people’s only point of reference for Conan.

Since you’re presumably older than 12, this can’t possibly be intended to be a joke, which would make it a personal insult, which is not allowed outside the Pit.

Knock it off.

It looked like an innocuous little joke to me between two old-timers who are familiar enough with one another.

Indeed.

I could see this working if they base the story on one of the stories where Conan is king of Aquilonia-it’d justify having an older Conan, and allow a logical setup for him to find himself in combat at his age.

Didn’t the original movie end have a brief closing shot of an aged Conan sitting on his throne?

Yes.
