Hey, It’s Conan the Momoaian
?
/Film has the first look at Jason Mamoa as Conan in the new Conan the Barbarian movie. God help me, the only thing I think to say is that he seems fine — I’m not too worried about the lack of Conan’s ferocity, since I’m reasonably sure these are just behind-the-scenes pics — but his hair seems really, really greasy and stringy. I guess if that ends up being my biggest problem then the Conan remake is in pretty good shape.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
