Everything you have been told about Conan is probably wrong.

Crom! What better way to fix the Timeline than with what is best in life.

Crom!

So sayeth the song of my people.

Crom! As threatened, here is the non-spoiler #DamndestReview of Exorcist III: The Legion Cut (available free on ShoutTV). It's a few minutes shorter than the theatrical cut, despite adding footage that never appeared in the TC (Theatrical Cut). It's a more direct sequel to Exorcist, beginning at the end of the 1st film and removing a bunch of the slow-burn footage from the 1st half of the TC; a change I liked. Things progress faster, making it easier to follow and less boring than the TC. The unfinished footage builds suspense more steadily throughout. Unfortunately, in the 2nd half, with a lot of Exposition by Dourif, the lack of audio enhancement of his voice in the unfinished footage removes much of the gravitas/horror the dialogue had in the TC. His words are horrific but seem far more mundane. Whether this was in service to the different story being told or simply due to lack of time/money is unclear, but I seem to recall large chunks of Dourif's exposition from Legion's unfinished footage also appearing in the TC with different sound filters; indeed, the majority of Dourif's dialogue in Legion is unfinished. So I'm leaning towards "serving the different story" as the reason for that choice. For me, this changed the overall impact of the film. Scott and Dourif's exchanges are foundational to the impact of the TC, but they don't hit as hard in Legion. And the book ending makes the resolution far more abrupt. Better in the 1st 1/2, but hitting less hard in the 2nd 1/2 makes me want to give it basically the same rating as the TC, despite Legion being a less-traditional "demon" possession film. If The Exorcist is 10 out of 10 Croms, then I'd give both the Theatrical and Legion cuts of Exorcist III: 8 out of 10 Croms. Both are worth watching, as they tell slightly different stories. IMHO, Legion would have been a better film with more of Dourif's TC dialogue left in, even if it didn't serve the story it was telling.

Can confirm. Patience and tolerance can get all the exercise they want. But rage gets shit done.

Aye, by Crom! Also, #TeamNoPants

Crom! Ed's item and location inspirations for RPGs are what is best in life.

Crom!

Crom! Signal boost. Paint on, artbrother.

Bless you, #JaqueBlack. Your ancestors, who in ages past stood against the very same evils, smile down upon you this day. Respect.

Every time I see bullshit like this, my esteem for the family of David Gemmell increases; they are honouring his dying wish that his stories never be sold to cultural rapists. Respect, Gemmell family. Fight on.

Crom! Gigantic mirth!

As someone who was an adult prior to the end of the cold war, living with the very real possibility that I'd wake up dead some morning due to nuclear war, I can state unequivocally that, faced with that choice, I'd choose to kill the paedophile and let the world burn. Unless letting him save the world and then killing him was an option.

Crom! Sanjulian art is what is best in life! Respect.

Crom! Too few people know there's a sequel to Willow written by George Lucas himself! A trilogy of books, co-authored by Chris Claremont (yes, that Chris Claremont). The Dismal+ streaming series abomination in 2022 was yet another chance for Lucasfail to goat-fuck one of thier IPs into irrelevancy by ignoring all the previous material created to honour the IP.

The ven diagram is an almost perfect circle .#Civilization
