By CROM!! Millennium films has acquired the rights to Conan and is now trying to figure out when and how to roll out new Conan movies.

Good or Bad?

Well the Dino DeLaurentis/Arnold Schwartzenegger films were not true to the original character written by Robert E. Howard in many respects. But..they did have their MOMENTS that could have been pulled from any of the books.

My Personal fav? Conan what is best in life?

There a nifty little quiz I just came across that helps you determine which Science Fiction writer you’d like be.

Mine came up with Gregory Benford.

Certainly not a bad option but not what I would have thought.

Now if you were to ask me which SciFi writer would I aspire to be like that’s an easy one.

Asimov hands down.

It is Asimov’s Empire stories and the the Foundation series that first lit the SciFi spark for me.

Asimov had a personality that just enlivened and enriched everything he wrote. You can feel the masters presence in each page and with each page you want to read more.

It is a gift that will always be remembered. Asimov will never be forgotten.
