All the usual hedges. I say some of these would make good movies or TV series in the abstract. As things now stand, I keep seeing a woke and diverse Conan adaptation--Conan as an example of Colonialism and White Priviledge, not to mention Toxic Masculinity--and an anti-Christian Spirit Ring. No doubt things will eventually improve, but given most of the perpetrators are my age or younger, I don't expect to see that improvement. (As an example, does anyone really expect the writers of Star Fleet Academy to write decent scripts later in life?) |

Amazon Prime at one point had a Conan miniseries "in development". It was cancelled by the same woman who green lit Rings of Power. And, yes. Precisely because of "toxic masculinity". I believe she has been "future endeavored", as they say in the Wrestling Business. Now, I got this from Critical Drinker, so grain of salt is recommended. |

I see that the disgusting morally repugnant "Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever" series has received 3 votes. Those people should be ashamed of themselves. It's worse than Gor. Well, if you want to see a movie based on a rapist, I guess that's your choice. How nice. |

I have long thought that "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar" would be the perfect basis for a decent Tarzan movie. But what do I know compared to the geniuses of Hollywood? |
