I Just Saw The New Conan The Barbarian-Jason Momoa-In Person...

[Captain Dunsel]

...I'm not a big fan of the character or franchise of "Conan The Barbarian" but thought I would go ahead and post this.

Late yesterday evening I was leaving my honeymoon on Kauai.

My new wife was entering the plane in front of me and turned around suddenly and said "look on the right--it's Lisa Bonet from the Cosby Show".

Sure enough, Lisa Bonet was sitting in her seat right as I entered the plane. However, what really caught my eye was the huge guy who was just beginning to sit down next to her.

It turns out, the big guy next to her was Jason Momoa, the new Conan the Barbarian.

Now, I have never seen this guy act in anything but physically, in person, the guy is HUGE in stature and looked like the Conan I've seen in various illustrations. I am interested to see what this guy does with the part.

He's an ok actor, he was Stargate Atlantis and he bulked up quite a bit for the role of Conan. He's kind of a surf bum in person and has got to be one of the worst dressed celebrities I've ever seen, I saw him at Creation con once and he was dressed all grungy like.

He looks pretty big in Game of Thrones

Yeah, by comparison with the other actors in Game of Thrones, he's enormous. The guy seems to be a big guy in person, but paired up with the girl they have playing Danaerys, he's HUGE (partially because she's tiny).

I'm still not 100% sure he can pull off Conan, but I think that film will be more sunk by bad writing if anything really kills it. It's not like they'er gonna have some dynamite script that would've been great if only someone else had been cast.

Dude's Hawaiian, and his lineage is from Surfing stock. Surf Bum is kind of his heritage.

Not happy with a reboot of Conan. Unless this is an all new thing.

Funny, you guys. He's half Polynesian, with a sprinkle of German and Irish. And I'm stunned that you boys are so influenced by a bunch of critics that keep you from going to enjoy a perfectly fine movie. `

Yeah yeah... I know your posts are 2 years old. But since when does the opinion of a paid critic prevent someone from actually going to a movie and make up their own mind. Wow. Weak sauce, boys. Weak sauce.

Sure babe.

Keep it up.

Love,

Jason

I can hear this in a moke accent. You from Hawaii? I'm part-Poly as well. Nowhere near as huge as Jason Momoa, but I work with his cousin. She's super-chill as well.
