Well, now, Hollywood. It looks like you have managed to piss me off more than Intel. Congratu-fuckin-lations.
For those of you who don't already know, there was a movie made a while ago called Highlander. This movie was AWESOME. It was about a race of people who could only be killed by decapitation competing in a to-the-death tournament of sword duels until only one of them was left alive. There was some more background info, but that was the basic premise. How could you go wrong with that movie? Answer: make unnecessary sequels. So that's what Hollywood did. And those sequels sucked.
And now, guess what? Hollywood has decided that what Highlander really needed was a remake. Fine, whatever. I guess that if they just tell the story from the first movie it won't be too bad. Wait, what was that, voices in my head? This movie will be written by Melissa Rosenburg? So? Who the hell is that?
What's that? She wrote the Twilight movies?
...Goddamn. This is going to suck. This is going to suck hard. I can see it now: Connor MacLeod is going to be a manipulative bastard, the Kurgan is going to be a tween-age pretty boy, and quickenings are going to showers of sparkly lights rather than lightning-fueled explosion fests.
In other words, Hollywood will decapitate Highlander.
