The Return of the Barbarian

Funny thing.  With all the rain we've had recently, decided to watch Conan, the Barbarian and the Destroyer.  Nothing like seeing one of our politicians (ret.) hack shit up on the big screen, real primitive like.  Damn Arnold looked good circa 1982.  F'ing badass.  Anyway, fast forward decades to 2011.  I'm reading an online article (most likely ESPN) and all of a sudden, a film preview pops up.  Whoa.!  And just like that - I am intrigued, like really intrigued.  After all, it is the return of the Barbarian.

 Essentially a remake, this movie certainly took awhile to come to fruition.  But what makes this venture intriguing is the selection of the main character.  Just who in the world could they choose to replace the Terminator?  Sure there are bigger muscle men nowadays and I'm sure they considered finding someone similar to Russell Crowe, but the producers knew they had to find someone raw, primitive, as if he just stepped out of the f'ing woods carrying 50 dead wolves on his back. 

Enter Jason Momoa, and judging from what little they show in the preview, this one will be EPIC.  August 2011.
