Don't get me wrong....I'm still mildly excited to see what they do, but I'm just sick of getting all excited about something and then being disappointed over and over again. It's just painful to watch your beloved characters and stories get gang raped by hollywood suits every time they do a "reboot" "reimagining" or whatever they want to call these things. I was really excited to see they were "rebooting" the Conan movies.......then I read what the plans were. I had read they were going to follow some of the old Robert E Howard stories.....but not now. They're going to go with the "Conan's village was raided and destroyed when he was a boy" approach. A$$!!! NEVER HAPPENNED IN THE BOOKS OR COMICS!! I just wish Hollywood would realize that the properties are valuable because the source material is great enough to have a fan base to last decades!
