Hey guys! Let's talk about Highlander!
Like: remember when I thought I'd seen Highlander so I never watched it?
And then remember last month when I logged in to Netflix and Netflix was all, "Heeey! Welcome back, %name friend! How about you rate this Highlander movie so my sexy algorithms can figure you out?" I was all, "I'm game, Flix, but I don't exactly remember that one." And Netflix was all, "Seriously? What are you doing with yourself?" And I actually sort of got my feelings hurt, but I played it off like I was just tired or whatever, and then hit play? OF COURSE YOU DON'T REMEMBER THAT. I was alone in my room. But if you need proof I can put you in touch with my roommate's dog who was napping by my door at the time (no wait, I'm bad at getting back to people so take his info now: truckerschnauzer@aol.dog).
Right. So there I was on my bed with my laptop, drinking some over-steeped tea, and I'm thinking, oh yeeeeeah, I remember this movie! Maybe. It's a movie about... boxing! Or, no, hang on, where's that fellow going? Oh right, right, right, to the parking lot where he's going to get in his vehic... waaaait whaaaaaat?!
COMMENCE SPOILERS!
It turns out this guy Connor is IMMORTAL and he has a SWORD! And he is wielding it like a grandmaster motherfucking gladiator! And some other immortal is trying to Take Him Out, but the main Connor guy's like "no thanks!" and chops that other dude's face right off! And then there's this suspiciously cool-looking blue lighting event and Connor rushes off to safety!!
So I yelled at the dog to hold my calls (what?) and watched the rest of this totally badass movie during which I got a crush on Connor and subsequently regretted said crush when it turned out he's sort of a creepy mess.
THE END!
Grade: B+
