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.
