I've watched the Kull movie. My father taped it when it was on television late one night.
He basically just handed the tape to me along with the words 'I taped this for you. You might like it. It's a bit like Conan and Hawk the Slayer films. It's done by the Robert man you read.'
Haha, just as a side note, I have watched Hawk the Slayer before, and I in no way enjoyed any moment of it!
I watched the film, and all the while I couldn't help asking myself what the written stories were like. I've never read any of the Kull books (partly a lack of knowlage on where to start reading, and the lack of availability).
The thing that got me was that the film itself was not really that good. But I still really liked it because I was trying to imagen what Howard could have done with a story like this! There's a scene when Kull and some other people are in a cave of ice (if I remember rightly) and I just thought Howard would have made that such an amazing part of the story.
The story made me want to read the book (more than before) for the simple fact that I thought the film was quite poor, but could have made a great story in the hands of Howard.
As said before, if the proper skills, budget, props and such were used, this could have been a much better film, but I still found the story in its own right still lacking a bit in certain areas, but that's nothing a few tweaks wouldn't be able to fix.
They are the weak and cowardly who, when the enemy is crashing through the front door, will cower in the back room, counting on better men than themselves to make and keep them free.
Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated!
