In spite of that it does look pretty cool. But I'm not watching it unless, at some point, someone in the film asks Conan what is best in life.

I would guess so. REHs 'Picts' had a north american frontier flavor as opposes to anything related to ancient scotland. The costumes in the trailer also seem to match some of the art for the d20 Conan game, which I thought was great.
Also, thanks Matt for posting this. Looks awesome. My hopes have increased. It opens on my daughter's one year birthday, so doubt it'll be an opening night thing for me, but likely the weekend after.

Afterwards they beheaded their enemies.*

They did a similar thing in the movie "The Eagle(2011)" A movie about the Romans and Hadrians Wall, where they made the pictish tribe "Seal People" whom also had a very North Eastern Native American look to them.

The action does look good. Squishy sound effects.

I was all excited because this trailer _looks_ more like a Conan movie as opposed to the Scorpion King one we saw earlier.
However...I'm not keen on the bit where he spits out the whole egg. It moves what was a kick ass action sequence into Wolverine levels of absurdity. I think I would have preferred to see him bring back the Pict heads, egg dripping down his chin and neck with an expression that says "I don't give a #$%^ about the egg race, I just saved your asses".
To me, that would have been more powerful than this whole sequence building up to 'does he still have a whole egg?'. Lame. No way do you fight off a handful of warriors and keep the egg whole. The only way that happens is in weak ass summer 'blockbuster' flicks like the 'nu-metal' trailer appeared to be.
I shall stop reflecting or I may shift this down again to Ty.

That was my thought too, but I'm still keeping my hopes fairly high for this one.Jeff White wrote: Upon a second viewing, I'm going to shift this down two bands from Rm to Gd.
