just checking in at 19 degrees ~

i caught myself getting persnickety and perfectionist about what is essentially a throw away project and so i went and rented movies and bought groceries. manicotti tonight, anyone?

i rented Highlander because (gasp), i've never seen it. and [livejournal.com profile] scarlite's been going on about it and it seems like something that ought to appeal to me.

i've got five pages drawn. i'm wondering now: to ink or not to ink?

i thought i would be posting all day, but i guess now i have to modify my ambition ~ to post all night! mwhahahahaha!

(welcome to goofyland) ~

it's snowing!

On second thought, now that I am rewatching the original movie, stick to the series... So far there are few redeeming qualities to the movie (the largest being Sean Connery). It does get a little better when Sean Connery comes in (if you can stick it out till then). Really, watch the series. You might like it a lot better.

And, if you do watch the series, stop at season 5. Season 6 does not exist as far as I am concerned.

hahahahaha ~ well i will file that away. i'm watching the movie tonight. guess i should keep my expectations low, huh?

at least sean connery ought to make it worth while.

Sean Connery is absolutely gorgeous in this movie, and his character is so funny.... And other than men in kilts, there's not much reason to watch.

Argh. Season 6 was awful, wasn't it?

I used to follow this series religiously. Some of the casting choices for Villain Of The Week were inspired. Rowdy Roddy Piper? He was pretty good, actually...

i may still rent the first season disc, but man, the movie was wretched.

sooooo bad.

Oh yeah, it was bad. But try the series. It's good. Occasionally cheesy, but nothing like the movie.

Season 6 was disgraceful! And what was the point of putting Peter Wingfield and Elizabeth Gracen in the credits when they were only in like the last 2 episodes? Come on!
