A riddle

Transmogrification

Arghh! Of course it is! The movie that taught me that all this gym equipment, all these dumbbells and barbells, could advantageously be replaced by a single, unique Wheel of Pain™!

or a Tree of Woe.

It’s amazing what a perfect full-body workout that wheel gave Conan. Maybe sometimes he would hang off his spoke and do crunches and stuff?

The Wheel of Pain™ and the Tree of Woe™ were also woefully inadequate in instructing the young boy in the writing of the script of the ancient Atlanteans, or the table etiquette of the courts of Ys, or the woodcraft of the forest people near Thule, or the forbidden knowledge of Akkadian necromantic love-chants… but yeah, it got the job done. Imagine if young enslaved Conan had been ordered to sit around and eat junk food all day for a decade or more–his career path as Barbarian might have been cut short.

Here’s the next one, with a nod in the direction to the sad news out of DC, in a way.

  1. There’s nothing in the frames
  2. Later, the producers of the movie wondered why no one was picking up the phone
  3. it’s not a wholly original story
  4. one deleted scene shows up in the credits
  5. There’s a really terrific collection of talent in the cast, so much so that the cameos give off a confusing effect.

Kind of an oddball guess, but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus?

Oh, right, that was the one where a bunch of actors replaced unshot footage of Heath Ledger for Terry Gilliam. Even after all this time, I will still confuse it with Doctor Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, which is not the same movie. I’m thinking of a different movie. It might be less surreal than The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus, but in a way, could be less realistic?
