Bones

@canefan yeah I would have switched off after 20 minutes if it was just me. The worst thing is I told her it would be awful, just one guy on a phone.

@canefan I wish I could get that time back as well ....one of the worst

@bones @canefan

Jake has done some dire stuff mixed in with the good. Most of his dreadful stuff is so arty like it’s supposed to be bad except for the very clever people that “get it”.

So, for no reason at all I'm channel surfing and come across 'Highlander'.

My god what a terrible movie.

How:

Did I like this back in the day?
Was this so popular?
Was Christopher Lambert ever considered an actor?

Funny as fuck to rewatch now.

To be fair - he did an excellent job of portraying a man disconnected from reality with nothing to make him likeable.

Catogrande

@bones He does that in a fair few films.

@booboo I started it a few years ago, realised it had aged terribly so turned it off after 5 or 10 mins so it wouldn't sully my good memories of it.

Wow. I haven't watched it for over 30 years, and only watched it the once. But, this still be the most upsetting post I've read for a long time.

Not to mention Sean Connery's Scottish brogue playing an apparently Spanish immortal who went to Japan for a while and brought back a samurai sword

I think the final nail in the coffin was the sneakers and jeans that Connor wore

I remember Heather being quite hot

She's sort of a Helene Bonham Carter lookalike. Not as good as I remembered

Had a Jag fly by at the end, so that was nice. Proving the earth is round
