A lot of stuff goes into my brain, some of it by choice. If I decided to watch, read, play, or do it, I'd like to talk about it here. I'm a musician, a sometime actor, a frequent player of electronic and table-top games, and a lapsed reader (though I'm getting better). I write long and awkward sentences, because the more things resemble Douglas Adams' writing, the more I want to live in the world. Thanks for reading.

Highlander: The Source

From the all-caps Papyrus opening title cards with half-assed narration to the pop-song soft-lit ending makeout with half-assed narration, this movie was a rough ride.  True to its low-budget roots, I suppose, but with an insane mess of characters, an ex-nihilo macguffin involving the decay of the world and some kind of astronomical alignment (I'm sure Zeist was in there as well) to the hilarious fast-motion swordfights with the inside-joke spouting nemesis all just begging to be set to Yakkity Sax, this was brutal.

If you're in the mood for an Uwe Boll movie without the big name actors slumming it, it's worth an hour of your time.  However, this entails being in the mood for an Uwe Boll movie.  Fair warning.

Note that it's worth an hour of your time but is like 90 minutes long. It could have been the TV series finale and saved some face, particularly if they'd cut down on the random biker gang stupidity that nobody cared about.
