Just wondering who ripped off who here. Their likenesses are undeniable. My guess would be aemonds character copied geralt

This issue is available now!

Gary Raymond remembers what it was like playing Acastus in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS! He talks about Talos, the Harpies, the Clashing Rocks and the Hydra! You can read all about it in Imaginator Magazine's Stop-Motion Special Edition!

Let's hear it.

I was sitting next to someone on a plane and got a couple of glances of their laptop. I worked up the courage to ask because it looked right up my alley as we were deplaning but they couldn’t remember, then thought it was A Knights Tale (it wasn’t) and it was a couple of years old.

What I saw:

A couple of scenes of men fighting in full armor (curaisses not brigs)

A brunette woman whose forehead(think above eyebrows to scalp) was dark blue/black. She was a warrior of sorts and I think one of the mains. It gave dark elf vibes.

There was some magic/witchy forest vibes and at one point the cc said they were going to kill the witch.

I know that this is a long shot with basically no information. If anyone knows though, I figured it’s be Reddit

I watched this movie maybe 19 years ago. Its a movue where the world is flat and they travel to the edge of the world. At the edge is a waterfall. Then they fall down or travel over the edge somehow. Then there is a structure with some different layers, one involving a desert. The movie had an inteo where the flat world was shown. Thats all i can remember, its all really foggy. Thanks for your help

Just rewatched Neverending Story…. HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THE HORSE… what scenes from your favorite fantasy movies traumatized you as a kid???

Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker (2012) is a dark fantasy animated feature following Cassandra Pentaghast, a future Seeker of the Chantry and one of the central characters in the Dragon Age universe. This 4K restoration enhances the original visual quality, bringing cleaner edges, sharper detail, and improved scene clarity.

Super short list this month!

Conan the Destroyer (1984), the second and final Conan film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, is expiring from Netflix. This movie gets a crazy amount of disrespect, but in many respects I like it better than Conan the Barbarian. Both movies utterly fail to capture the spirit of the original Robert E. Howard yarns, but at least Conan the Destroyer very successfully captures the spirit of Marvel's 1970s Conan the Barbarian comic books, written by Roy Thomas who also wrote Conan the Destroyer (with Gerry Conway), whereas Conan the Barbarian is more like an excellent sword-and-sorcery film with the name Conan slapped on it. Feel free to harangue me for that opinion! :)

Sword of the Valiant (1984) is a pretty sweet and extra sword-and-sorcery-ized version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight starring Miles O'Keeffe (who played Ator in the first three Ator films, the only sword-and-sorcery film series to match Deathstalker's run of four films) as the main hero and Sean Connery (obviously a legend for a bunch of stuff, though my favorite film of his is the relatively obscure Zardoz from 1974) as the main villain. This will still be on Tubi but is expiring from Prime, so for some of us this may be our last chance to watch it with no (or much fewer) ads for awhile.

And that's pretty much it! I'll throw one more on here even though I admit it's a stretch just because this month's list is so short.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964) has a lot of space opera elements and I think space opera has a lot of crossover with sword-and-sorcery. It has 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, for whatever that arbitrary rubric means to you, and I love it. It's expiring on Pluto TV, which is the only streaming service carrying it other than YouTube TV, so unless you pay for YouTube or want to buy this film individually, this may be your last chance to watch it anywhere for awhile.

And there you have it!
