This blog was originally started by Reis and posted on Myspace way back in 2006, but he decided to move it to the larger, more accessible Blogger network in 2008, to better reach the large Conan fan base.
These blog posts represent our personal fandom and are a collection of whatever we can find on our favorite son of Cimmeria. If we find it on the web, we try to post it here. Some of the content, such as fan art, custom action figures and the like are not always used by permission, but we have only posted them out of great respect for fellow fans to enjoy. However, if you see something on here of yours and you'd prefer we took it down or notice that we haven't given proper credit, feel free to let us know and we'll fix it as soon as we can.
We sincerely hope you enjoy the blog and we encourage you all to please make comments and share your thoughts!
By the by...CONAN 3D made 22 Mil by the time it was yanked. Count the 28 it made overseas and ya got...? Eh? Not too shabby IMHO. Plus we got Blurays and DVD's comin' that all goes into the royalties pot too.
There's a lot of garbage on this list...I love the top 3, and the inclusion of Deathstalker and Sword and the Sorcerer, but it's obvious this list was not made by a die hard S&S fan. There's so much more that should be on here instead of crap like Legend, Dragonheart, Scorpion King, etc.
Here is my list...although some mayt not agree that a few of these films do not fall under the GENRE of Sword and Sorcery..it's still...my list based on my humble opinion....lets have some folks share their own favorites. DROP and give me 20!
