It's called "boob"?Cioch (the big protruding rock they fight on)
Highlander is one of my favorite franchises, but they do make it hard. The first one was good- had an excellent world that they built but didn't explain. The second one doesn't exist. Kill it with fire and scatter the ashes. Same with 3.The director's cut of the Total Recall reboot actually wasn't too bad. It was certainly better than the original cut at least.
I just hope the Highlander reboot is good. Honestly, this is one franchise I don't mind seeing rebooted considering how much of a mess the original run was, betweenThe Suckening... err... I mean The Quickening, the ending to the first film which was clearly meant to be a one-and-done, The Source, and... well... everything else. If they can start over well with an actual continuity in place, it may work.
There can be only one!I'll see each and everyone of you haters in a moodily lit warehouse or carpark!
Highlander was and is a class film. All this talk of sequels and series are as the fever dreams of a lunatic.
My happiest day was on holiday in NYC, walking through central Park and coming across the bridge McLeod and Castagir held their reunion on. After I squeee'd like a sugar fuelled kid with ADHD, I made sure to stand where they stood and try to soak up any residual Quickening.

Then they brought out the series, and it was good up until Season 6. Season 6 ruined the good vibes. Endgame was Ok. The source was worse than 2, and a bad point to end on.
I think Cavill could be excellent in a reboot, and am cautiously optimistic.
Was season 6 where they killed Richie and then Duncan fights an ancient Demon or something?
Sadly, yes.
Season 1 I can sort of understand- they were trying to build things up. But I think things really started to come together because of an actor wanting to leave. Alexandra Vandernoot told the powers that be that she wanted out, and didn't give them much runway for it. That was one of the reasons that Tessa's death seemed so random, and Ritchie became an immortal much sooner than they'd planned for- it was one of the best things for the show.Yeah, that's where the show lost me. Season 1 wasnt very good either, but the stuff with the Watchers and Methos in the middle seasons was great
So, so many mountains around the world are called boob. And then there are other geographical features similarly blessed with popular anatomy names, too. You could almost call it a species unifying fascination...It's called "boob"?
Like most Gen Xer here I loved the original Highlander film at the time, although felt that all the other films were rubbish, and deleted them from my canon.
The mid 1990s tv series was surprisingly quite good. I avidly used to alternate watching Highlander with X-Files, which pretty much summed up the 1990s, just add grunge and industrial rock.
If they are doing a reboot with Henry Cavill, then I expect it will be a pretty good. Perhaps they can get Adrian Paul to play Ramierez.
However I won't be happy if Highlander takes Henry Cavill away from Witcher, I would rather seeing him play Geralt of Rivia for many more moons yet
Yeah I guess Netflix wants to always have the 'New Shiney', and they might worry that Witcher may be viewed as stale by then.I think second season of Witcher is in production, just got postponed by Covid
I worry more about it being on Netflix, which seems to not want more than three seasons of even it's most successful shows

Look if you subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime you get a good 6 seasons out of a show. It's a win win win.Netflix doesn't care about it's shows, or even if you watch them. All they care about is that you subscribe to them forever.

There is one more season of The Boys coming. This time with Jensen Ackles. I am excite.I'm hoping for 6 seasons of Invincible, and at least one more season of The Boys to wrap things up on Amazon Prime. First season of Jupiter's Legacy was bad, and I've heard no one talking about it since release, so I expect that to not get renewed.
He was also in Smallville for a couple of seasons.Apparently, through some strange ephemera of costuming coincidence, Jensen's costume for his character The Soldier ended up using the exact same boots as he wore as Dean for 15 years on Supernatural. Wacky. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing in something other than Supernatural.
Yeah, so, like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing him in something other than Supernatural...He was also in Smallville for a couple of seasons.
Sadly, yes.
Not a fan of the original, found it mediocre even as a kid, never understood the cult following it got
Yep that's pretty much what I do now - a monthly Netflix subscription and a yearly Amazon Prime subscription (relatively cheap). It seems to cover most bases.Look if you subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime you get a good 6 seasons out of a show. It's a win win win.
I also occasionally watch Tubi TV, it's free, and full of cult films, B-Grades, and dubious censorship...perhaps the less said, the better heh heh
Tubi has some dubious content, but an easy way to watch B-Grades and an occasional Cult movie gem.I went to check out that Tubi TV thing. Sadly it's not currently available in Europe, because of the GDPR law stuff. Have bookmarked it though. Hopefully it will become available again.
Tubi has some dubious content, but an easy way to watch B-Grades and an occasional Cult movie gem.
Be warned, it is pretty 'alternative' in places - definately avoid the Drama, Horror, and Romance categories around young and/or conservative audiences - it is highly unsuitable for children, and alot of the content in those sections may be considered obscene or shocking to many adults. It's very Mature Content at times.
However the remaining majority of the archives tends to be very inferior B-grade productions, although occasionally some classic Cult films show up to make it worthwhile. I just watched 'And God Created Woman' last week; I partially watched some strange Jodorowsky flick the week before; and the few weeks before that I watched an assortment of old Hammer Horror flicks. So that's the Top Shelf, and it spirals downward from there so that should give you an idea of what it's like.
Not really my cup of tea, I'm more of a Netflix/Amazon Prime watcher. Tubi just occasionally drags me in on odd nights, and its free.
It is available here in Australia, although it's obviously American in origin.
If you can't get it via an app on your television, then you may possibly be able to just watch it on your PC perhaps...

All of the streaming services are pretty poor when it comes to older releases.The problem with Netflix in particular is its near non-existent selection of older films. Prime and Tubi are much better for both. In terms of genre Prime has loads of martial arts classics from Shaw Bros.
For cult, giallo, horror and exploitation Tubi is even better than Prime as they carry a number of great quality reissues by boutique labels like Shout Factory, Vinegar Syndrome, Severin and Scorpion.

We are currently in a golden age of boutique blue-ray releases with many of the large studios licensing older titles out for release on physical media, often with new restorations. Sadly, outside of horror, many genres are not big sellers.

A study piece about convent life I assume. Carmelite or Bon Secours rules?Nude Nuns With Big Guns
I remember my cousin had a really dodgy rpg in the late 1980s called "Macho Women With Guns!', heh heh it was pretty funny.One of the worst movies I've ever seen, was called Nude Nuns With Big Guns.
