I'm a big fan of Highlander - the original highlander movie which I came to rather late - I remember watching it first with friends at senior school - 4th or 5th year.
It gave me the queen soundtrack, it gave me my favorite film of all time.
For a while, I wanted to believe I could live forever.
I would have given my left testicle for a good sequel - and when one was made, I nearly exploded in expectation. I scoured TV for any clips of what was to become Highlander II - alien immortals - I recorded Film ?? with Barry Norman where they had a trailer of Sean Connery getting a suit made - still think the music used on that was better than in that eventually used in the film. And when it came out, my friends and I were at the first showing. AND IT WAS A PILE OF STEAMING POO. I could have written a better story. Even the directors cut left something to be desired. Shield, a fecking shield - you can here the throughts of every person on the planet and you know everything and you're building a permanent sunblock machine. Zeist. Where the feck have you come from. Arrrggghhhhh.
And then they did it again (Highlander 3 - bloke under mountain) - and that was absolute rubbish too.
And again - Higlander IV - Chrissy lammipie and the cousin. Will you people never learn. And this time you've sucked in that made for TV immortal too. For goodness sake. Stop.
And now they are going to remake the classic. I am speechless. Kill me now. Needless to say, I'll not be staking any organs on this one being any good. |

For the first time since the Hylands Park 10km in October I went running yesterday (Sunday). I went to my usual stomping ground at Haunault Country Park and had a little trot round to see how far I'd dropped back since the high of the 10k.
Wasn't too bad - a 20 minute run and no ill effects this morning. Out again tomorrow. |
