Looking forward to seeing it on cable.Pat Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17546848088853626735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-53019333579707672072011-10-12T01:54:39.318-04:002011-10-12T01:54:39.318-04:00I might have watched the latest Conan. It seemed ...I might have watched the latest Conan. It seemed to have some interesting elements. There were two reasons I did not. The first was the fact that whoever was in charge of casting should have never been hired in the first place. Momo-whatever-the-rest-of-his-name-is was totally miscast as a Gaelic misanthropic bad boy. This particular kind of hero has to be so huge as to be able to awe skinny pre-adolescents who feel the necessity of somehow surviving the hate-filled halls of jr high and high school that their big brothers or the big brothers of their friends seem to fit in so well. The rules are all different than they are in elementary school. This giant never falls and is fought at the attacker's total peril. Momo could never have pulled it off, no matter how long he spent in the weight room.<br /><br />The other reason was there was almost no preview in the previews. Always a big danger sign.Steven Lesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285355643172321289noreply@blogger.com
