Whatever happened to Sword & Sorcery Cinema?

I have just discovered that the hubby owns a DVD of The Film Which Must Not Be Named...

In his defense he would like it noted that it is the directors cut, which he was told made more sense. He did not, however, find this to be true.

(he also owns Blues Brothers 2000, but bought it by mistake based on its cover apearance to the original and has never opened it.)

Legally, you can push your husband down a flight of stairs for owning both of those movies.

Can somebody PM or send me an e-mail as to what "the movie that must not be named" is?

I'm so bold, I'll just tell you here. It's Highlander 2. I'd rather be raped by a puma than see that movie again.

Getting raped by a puma isn't really so bad...

Not that I would know from personal experience, of course. Just repeating what I heard, elsewhere.

As long as you don't think of BB2000 as a movie with, y'know, a plot, but just a collection of songs, then I don't find it so bad. Like those really lame stage musicals whose paper-thin plot is just there to set up the next cool song.

Ohhh, I thought it was Dungeons & Dragons.

Highlander 2 does suck.

I did like the Blues Brothers' rendition of Johnny Cash's Ghost Riders in the Sky.

The rumors of a new Conan film are actually MORE than rumors at this point...

With no director announced, no actor slated to play Conan (rumors of it being The Rock, Triple H, or Vin Diesel... but none of them confirmed), I'd say that this project is STILL just a rumor. Maybe they can get the guy who plays Superman in the new Superman movie?

Maybe CGI is still too expensive for smaller outfits? When it becomes cheaper the S&S will return, I wager. Right now I think it would be embarrassing to make a film with low budget special FX. Now with the Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and King Kong people having more time on their hands maybe CGI will become affordable? (I'm just guessing).

 

[Desdichado]

Shouldn't be; they use CGI on a lot of small(ish) budget T.V. shows with a sci-fi or fantasy theme.

Of course, it doesn't look as good as a big budget movie would, but it's certainly doable.
