;D You want "massively hot"? Remember Marc Singer in The Beastmaster? That was really him, too--no (or very little) CGI back then. I forget what triggered a memory yesterday, but I looked him up at IMDb. Ah, my youth. ... :laugh:

Oh, no. As I feared, the reviews for One Day are not good. I'm thinking of passing on it...there are too many other movies I'd like to see. Plus, I still remember the Alan Alda/Ellen Burstyn version, Same Time Next Year, and I don't know if this one could walk 20 years in its shoes.

Five-Ku: Short Poems on the “Conan the Barbarian” Remake
By ADAM STERNBERGH[/b]
Jason Momoa,
Stepping into Arnold’s shoes
Or, rather, loin cloth.
Barbarian: Once
Icon, now not even world’s
Most famous Conan.
Expect broadswords, mead,
And digressions on Sartre.
Kidding. No Sartre.
In credits, seven
Women’s roles listed, simply,
As “Topless Wenches.”
But if “Conan” scores?
Call the Rock: time to fast-track
“Kull the Conqueror.”

I thought the trailer made it look profoundly uninteresting.

Seems its chief attraction is the attractiveness of its stars.
Sorta like Jason Momoa's buns.
