You were on a break? katmai was thin? What?

No, no... there was an age undreamed of.  That's all.

Ci? is always an "s" sound. always. unless there's some exception. I always read it as Simmeria. I'm never wrong about these things.

Between the times when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas...
In the movie that old Chinese dude was the narrator, right?

Yes. Although I've always considered the character more of a Mongol (ie. steppe nomad) type shaman.

Other fun fact about the other chinese guy in the movie, Subotai played by Gerry Lopez... he was a world class surfer and won a bunch of pipeline surfing competitions.

I started to one time, but switched it off because I find voiceover commentaries extremely distracting.  If it's as good as you say, I'll give it another shot.

I hear that.  I can't watch with commentary on if I want to watch the movie. Only if I want to hear the commentary. I will usually turn that on and multitask like it was radio.

Commentary for Conan the B. was boring. Milius hadn't bother preparing at all and Arnold is neither a thinker nor a talker.

Good commentary: John Carpenter and Kurt Russell The Thing.
