Two men meet in a quiet stadium parking garage during a pro-wrestling match. A brief greeting. They each draw an antique sword and duel to the death. One is beheaded. Cue indoor LIGHTNING STORM.
What a great beginning. I think it would have been fun to have been in the room with the writers of Highlander when they pitched it to Warner Brothers.
Also, I maintain that the ultra-stylized, acrobatic multiple back-handspring escape is the silliest thing in.... well, ever.
EDIT: and HOLY KRAP, is it HOT as BAWLZ in this freaking apartment. AC isn't working. Naked With The Fan On is the only way. Naked is the way and the light. No man cometh unto notdyingofheatstroke but by him/her.
OOH! and would you like to know how to give poor Stephen a massive coronary fit? show him this message:
"Drive Mary Celeste ( G: ) is not formatted. Would you like to format now?"
... when he plugs in his external hard drive. The one with everything backed up on it. EVERYTHING. The last copies, at least until I copy them onto the new computer. The one that did the same thing back in December and lost him all of his old poems, stories, papers, movies, and mp3s from the previous 6 years.
Hoo-rah. My extremities are still tingly and blue. Luckily, it was just a hiccup. It seems everything is still intact and retrievable. But I think I will be retiring poor Mary after this. She'll be demoted to lifeboat status. Emergencies only. My delicate, frilly little heart can only take so much excitement.
