       1. One of the more  popular  fantasy  characters  of  20th  Century
       literature  is Conan, created in the pages of WEIRD TALES by Robert
       E. Howard.  There have been two films about this  synthetic  legend
       and  we  will be showing them together at the next Leeperhouse film
       festival, June 19, at 7 PM.

            FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE (1940) chap. 5
            CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) dir. by John Milius
            CONAN THE DESTROYER (1984) dir. by Robert Stevenson

       In spite of starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, who seems to grow  into
       the  role,  these  are fairly good adaptations of the pulp magazine
       hero.  Most of the critics seemed to prefer  the  second  film.   I
       think that its style is a bit light.  The first is a film of blood,
       fire, and iron; the second is more like a Sinbad  film.   The  real
       star  of the films is a magnificent score by Basil Polidoris.  Also
       the first film has a magnificent performance by James Earl Jones as
       Thulsa Doom.

       2.  Since work schedules are even more confused then usual, due  to
       the  strike,  it  is advised that you contact either Mark or myself
       the day of the festival to verify it (the  festival,  that  is)  is
       still  on.   (I  don't forsee any problems, but you never know....)
