It's not great, but not bad.<BR/>It definitely shows you that Howard "wasn't quite right."<BR/>The movie mentions Conan numerous times, and Howard's boxing writing a little, but it doesn't mention any of the other hundreds of stories and poems he wrote. I considered that a failing, but the movie's story is really more about Novelyn Price and her relation with Howard than about Howard himself. Still, despite that he's best remembered for Conan, he wrote tons of other stuff, and (in my opinion) was moving away from S&S writing the last year of his life.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192814826756623212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32528082.post-1158635301140282502006-09-18T23:08:00.000-04:002006-09-18T23:08:00.000-04:00Still haven't seen the end of it.
