never seen Conan The Barbarian prior to tonight, was the last major Schwarzenegger film unseen by me. Its good, like actually pretty solid filmmaking. The pace a is a little slow, but the surprisingly strong violence and well written script leavens any concerns I may have had. Arnie is really good in this too, he's barely got any dialog at all, but he's really expressive physically in this. No wonder that guy became a star.
and The Hateful Eight is pretty dang good as well. Seeing it on a good film projection was quite a treat. QT uses the format to shoot the shit out of close-ups, and in that regard he succeeded wildly. Everyone in the main cast gets some moments to shine, and its a heckava lot of fun watching them collide off of each other.
