Meyer: [via office-wide e-mail] We've worked next door to Krull for years. But who or what is Krull? For the answer, I have turned to Netflix.
After work last night, a number of us gathered in the main conference room to watch "Krull" on the big projection screen. By the end of the movie we still weren't sure what exactly Krull is.
Innis: Isn't it the throwing star thing?
Meyer: That's the glave.
Amanda Lee: [looking at the sleeve the DVD was shipped in] It says on here that the monster is Krull.
Chris: Netflix is wrong. That's the Beast. Krull is the planet.
The only thing we learned for certain are that Cyclops have trouble making contact with their handshakes and, as Meyer wrote the next day, "The Krull offices across the hall must resemble an ear canal."
Kull, however, is a creation of Robert E. Howard, and a champion (or king?) of Atlantis, in the dawn of time predating the Hyborean Age, in which Conan did his thing.
It's a wonder I'm able to talk to girls.
