I like Highlander.
Yeah, you remember Highlander. The film/TV show/cartoon/soon-to-be-anime about people gettin' their heads whacked off and drinking the lightning inside of them.
So in a fit of insanity I decided to look up that new movie coming out. You know, "Highlander: The Source".
Holy Jesus Christ why?
I don't know what the hell it is! Why do they keep MAKING Highlander movies!? Or more importantly, why do they keep making Highlander movies that SUCK?
It's not a hard concept, and in fact is one that has plenty of potential. Good potential. I mean, what's not cool about swordfights, immortals, and cataclysmic destruction wrought about by the death of said immortals (usually at the end of said swordfights)? Yet the consistently fuck it up.
I mean, seriously, check out this timeline of suck. The first movie? CONNOR MACLEOD WINS THE GAME AND KILLS ALL OF THE IMMORTALS. The second movie? PLANET ZEIST. The third movie? CONNOR MACLEOD DIDN'T KILL ALL OF THE IMMORTALS AND NOW HE CAN TELEPORT. The fourth movie? CONNOR CAN'T TELEPORT, AND THE DUDE FROM THE TV SHOW KILLS HIM. The fifth movie? THE GUY FROM THE TV SHOW, WHO'S 100 YEARS YOUNGER THAN CONNOR MACLEOD TURNS OUT TO BE CONNOR MACLEOD'S FATHER.
In fact, the only reasonably good thing to come out of Highlander was the series. Point of fact, not even the entire series, just the immortals Mako and Methos, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Then there was "Highlander: The Raven". And hol-ee shit - sucked ass.
This is a random post, musing about one of my lesser-known fandoms.
And yes, fuckers, I did write a fan script for Highlander. That's because I'm awesome.
