NOT FOR THE OFFICE! : Conan the Barbarian movie review
Conan the Barbarian
In my opinion Conan the Barbarian (1982) is one of the best movies ever made. What’s that – you laugh?
With the release of the new trailer of the 3D remake, I can’t help but to say:
“Why Hollywood? Have you run outta ideas? Every TV show and successful movie under the sun has been redone with mediocre effort. *And just a side note – In two years, 3D cinema will be about as cool as “rollerblades”. You don’t have to do them all in 3D. Take it back a notch.”
The original Conan is a cult gem. One that should be revisited not remade.
Based on the genius of Frank Franzetta‘s artwork, the character of Conan is brought to life by Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime.
The screenplay was written by Oliver Stone and produced by Dino De Laurentiis. Not so funny anymore is it?

Inspiration – Matthew Leibowitz, 1965.
In the mid-60s, General Dynamics commissioned American graphic artist Matthew Leibowitz (1918-1974) to create a public relations film to attract potential employees in such areas as mathematics, engineering, physics, aerodynamics and aeronautics. The artist integrated the symbols of the fields of research to present the concepts in a highly abstract manner. The film titles were also used in lectures on aeronautics and space research.
Matthew Leibowitz is best known for creating designs that displayed an intuitive visual intelligence. Born in Philadelphia, he set up his freelance business in 1942. Firms he worked with included Container Corporation of America, General Electric, IBM and RCA. His work is displayed in a number of museums. More about Leibowitz can be found in this essay from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Matthew Leibowitz, A Legendary Modernist.

(VIDEO) – The T-Mobile Welcome Back Flash Mob
London – 27 October – Heathrow Airport:
Passangers arriving at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 were given a welcome that they would not soon forget. A flashmob of talented vocalists set the soundtrack for this T-Mobile promotion that is nothing short of infectious.
In an age of high-tech marketing where some brands are asking for your attention – Others are grabbing it and not letting go! This is an amazing example of viral advertising that sets out to generate a genuine emotional reaction.
You can see people caught in this stunt’s cross hairs reaching for their mobile phones to share the moment. When the brand behind it all turns out to be a cell phone company – you realize why this execution is a stone cold home run. Well done.
Check it out. I bet you can’t just watch it once.
