Worse than First Knight?
Okay, I'll admit to not seeing that.
I was bored, and I'd rather it be spectacularily bad than be bored.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They've managed to make him look perfect for it, and at 46, he's about the right age for the part.
But he's so slight. Like Alfred.
there's NOT a new Highlander movie in 2005.
Well, if Methos is there, so am I.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
He is, ita. It's called Highlander:The Source.

Was anyone else hoping that The Village twist would involve fae? Would probably be considered as silly by the "average" audience, but my hope for a nice unseely court on film is undimmed.

Would they be Native American trickster spirits, or something the Irish brought over during the Potato Famine?

it was the least of the Arthur movies.
Worse than First Knight?
As others have said, nothing is as a bad as that when it comes to Arthurian movies.
I think Sue hit in on the head. The movie was mostly boring, and it was dreary. I hope that if it doesn't do well at the box office, it won't discourage any attempts at making a decent Arthurian movie sometime.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Boreanaz is in talks for the neferious Dr. Doom.

Heh. In some comics canon, that's the whole of Lex's beef with Superman. (With an obvious emasculation vibe.)
