      ...or would it be a greater stretch to think Howard NEVER went on holiday? He told Clarke Ashton-Smith that he conceived the idea of Conan on such a trip. The quote is on Robert E. Howard's Wikipedia page. (And Texas is four times SMALLER than the state I live in - so not so 'big, big' after all 😜😜).

    Well. I'm 37 and I've been reading Rice since I was 12. I've seen every adaptation. Cruise captured the savagery and world view (when he was young), Townsend encapsulated the seductive side, existential crisis and the feline grace (I don't care that the movie was a mess), now? Sam Reid portrays both and is given so much time to be vile, violent, graceful, alluring, magnetic and portray every contradictory character trait. I have my numerous dislikes of the show, but Reid and his performance are not among them.
