Sorry to interrupt, but this is an emergency. I have to prevent
huge amounts of needless psychological trauma.
Please, read this message quickly, then log off and tell everyone
that you know. DO NOT SEE HIGHLANDER 2.
It was easily the most disappointing failure of a movie that I
have seen in several years. Imagine going to the The Gate,
thinking that it would be a horror film. Highlander 2 goes
far beyond that level of worthlessness.
We cannot imagine how the studio convinced the actors to do this.
Christopher Lambert, Michael Ironsides, SEAN CONNERY? It was
painful to watch them go through this farce.
I survived by imagining that they were being blackmailed and
drugged; my companions were not so fortunate. They were filled
with incredible masochistic compulsions, hoping that the pain
would blot out the memory of this awful event. They're upstairs
right now striking each other with large objects. I am not
joking. It was that bad.
I repeat, do NOT go to this movie. The writer + director must
be punished at all costs.
More later.
