[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2229634, member: 2205"] Don't be an idiot, Dark Jezter. Most of the time Conan's clothing is described in REH's stories, he's actually wearing some. He's been talked about wearing armor, he's been talked about wearing a turban, and all kinds of things. He's very rarely been shown by REH in a loincloth. Ah, yes, the sum total of Frazetta's Conan work, no doubt. Besides, I never once claimed that Frazetta [i]never[/i] showed him in a loincloth as I know quite well that he did (then again, Frazetta pretty much always underclothed everyone he painted regardless of the setting). I claimed that Frazetta's Conan was never as shallow as to simply be a bit of beefcake in a loincloth waving about a giant phallic symbol that he couldn't even sheathe. If you're going to attempt some "snappy" reply, it would help if you're familiar with what I'm saying a little more that you were. I'm not talking about fans of Conan, I'm talking about people who don't know anything about Conan except the movie. Which is most folks. Which I thought was pretty implicit in my statement already. But, I forgot, you're trying really hard to "read" something into my comments so you can make a "snappy" comeback. But if shows quite clearly that that's all you're doing, instead of trying to have a halfway intelligent discussion about the merits (or lack thereof) of the movie. I sincerely hope you're not trying to imply that I am one such person? I've seen the movie in it's entirety at least four time (although granted, not recently) and I've never heard of any UHF parody. If the only argument you can put forward to counter my criticisms of the movie are to [i]make up completely false[/i] objections to my credibility, that certainly implies something. Namely, that you can't defend the movie on its own merits, either because it's too stupid, or you are. The irony of that statement is truly unbelievable. [/QUOTE]
