Highlander
Highlander
I was surprised to see that a remake of the Highlander is underway. I have the whole past library, while I am watching as one of the Mediasonic Probox came in and I populated it with 32 tb and it will take a couple of days to write information to it.
The Highlander original had Lambert and Sean Connery, and a remarkably stupid premise, but entertaining.
I am copying my entertainment from a 12tb Sans Digital, which is a raid of 4 x4tb drives to a single 12tb drive on the new box. Then I will shelve the old box.
This is the way it is with upgrades. When I hand typed the Bible onto floppy disk, at that time it too 72 disks. Now, it is a single, unnoticeable file on a drive. I did the work on the Bible on a TI 99A, when one got onto the internet on a modem. I use to download book by modem and I would do it by starting the download before I went to work, and after I got off, I usually had my book.
I made sure I had an unlimited phone plan.

Re: Highlander
pfffttt. Everything looks like AI now. Might as well be a cartoon. I loved the original (the first one). Very touching the way he stayed with his wife as she got older and older and eventually died after never having the child she yearned for. Cartoonish, filtered Cavill can't compete with that.
Re: Highlander
I am watching the 3rd movie now. I have 6 directories of movies, but I have 1 outside of it, and don't know which order it goes in yet. It is labeled Highlander ME.accelafine wrote: ↑Thu Nov 06, 2025 3:15 am pfffttt. Everything looks like AI now. Might as well be a cartoon. I loved the original (the first one).

Re: Highlander
I like the first one, because as you say, they stayed together to the end, the way it should be. Hits a soft spot.accelafine wrote: ↑Thu Nov 06, 2025 3:15 am pfffttt. Everything looks like AI now.

Re: Highlander
It had a fabulous score. That can make or break a film for me.

I don't know why more men don't wear eyeliner. It really suits them

You Got that Gothic look
That makes you look a crook,
Oh well, one can simply rewrite the lyrics.
Makeup only looks good, sometimes, but it is always bad for health.

Re: Highlander
I can't believe that actor is still only 66. He looks about the same age now as he did in the film
