I too enjoy the cheezy fantasies as much as some of the serious ones too. But I enjoy them for different reasons. Both serve to entertain two separate tastes. If Conan became cheezy....it would not entertain either for me. And its because Conan is not suppose to be cheezy fantasy.Sure I like cheezy fantasy....when its suppose to be and when its done well. [ "Army of Darkness", "Princess Bride"]Or do you mean cheezy as in 'B-Movie' cheezy? In that case....I don't mind those either....as long as they do it in their yard and not in a huge property like Conan. Its okay for "Beastmaster" to be cheezy because it is it's own property. It didn't 'turn' cheezy froma  previously established serious material. It didnt' mess up a property. Turning Conan cheezy would mess it up.Mark wrote: Mark, you're an optimist aren't you?

What happens when you let someone try and fail is you get a property/film franchise that dies and no one (as in the funders with money) wants to resurrect it when someone good finally does come along to 're-do' it better.No one is going to re-do a good 'Street Fighter' movie because Steven DeSouza already messed up. Same with 'Resident Evil'. Look how dead in the water the 'Alien' franchise is. Proper resurrection of a film franchise is possible, but it usually involves a long wait for audiences to 'forget' the last horrible one. So if we went with you sentiment Mark, we'd see a terrible Conan movie that fails around 2004 (you'd get your quick fantasy fix) and then no one will touch the property for 10 years. Because that's how long it will take other directors and producers to convince some studio exec that they can do it right 'this time'.jdavis wrote: Because most of those in Hollywood with the power over your beloved property lack common sense. In other words.....they're stupid.</blockquote>
