Highlander 2: The Quickening

NOBODY has missed that steaming pile. And Endgame knocks it out of canon, anyway.

If you must watch it, watch `The Renegade Version', which is a Director's Cut the director did on his own, and removes some straight up bullshit from the original version.

Also, forget Highlander: The Source even exists. Its total crap, Adrian Paul begged out but was forced to do it because of his contract, and it undermines the entire franchise by changing the nature of `The Prize'. This is how shit it is: 

The tv series producer even refuses to acknowledge it as canon!

Yes, its back. I haven't seen episode 2 yet, but the first episode was good. I was hoping they'd say something to resolve the Rookie Feds cliffhanger since it was cancelled, but that might occur down the road. And all they really need to do is just have one quick line of dialog to deal with that. Don't even need anyone who was on the show to appear.

The only card game I'm playing on Steam is Marvel Snap, and I have 2 different accounts.

The Traitors (Australia) Season 2.

  Hide contents

Hahaha what an absolute shambles. I heard it was a bit crap (compared to other editions) but Jesus, the cast were so immensely bad at the actual game.

 

Haven't watched it yet (Its not out here yet), but let me guess:

I've watched the first seasons of the U.S., U.K., and Australian versions and am currently watching season 2 of the U.S. version. The Australian version is my least favorite of the 3, though season 1 of the U.S. version was meh and only saved by Alan Cumming as the host.

As a promotion when the game came out, they actually did a Forged In Fire episode where the contestants had to forge weapons from the game.

I caught Covid last week and went through a lot of random stuff on my watchlists from the various services, because I was basically useless for a full week and what else do you do?

I caught onto an absolute gem though on Prime Video.

The Invitation, which came out in 2022. I literally knew nothing about it, other than that there were some jump scares in the trailer I'd seen when I originally tossed it onto the list. I am so happy I didn't read into it at all, and just let the journey play out.

Thomas Doherty made me fall in love with him. I want to see that kid do big things in the horror genre. I had no idea how young he was. He plays his character with such conviction and gravitas that I would have expected him to be well into his 30's, but the guy would have been mid-20's when they filmed this.

Without spoiling anything, because I think the revelations are part of what really excited me about this one, it's a modern romantic gothic horror film. It isn't super heavy on the scares, but it's well-acted and gets quite tense.

Did I mention that Thomas Doherty was great? Man, was he great.

Prior to The Invitation (which is a great movie even if 

), he was on Legacies for a season, and played a 

on it. He also played Captain Hook's son in some of Disney's Descendents movies. I believe he popped up for the first time in the second one.

This week's episode of NCIS was the David McCallum/Ducky tribute episode. They played a somber version of the opening theme and had him in the opening credits. No Gibbs except in a flashback clip from an old episode, Abby was mentioned indirectly, and 

If you want to know how Ducky died:

More like random rosters each season, to simulate the portal:

"Hey, why did my star QB on Texas we recruited in-state move to Northwestern?!"

"Wow! Most of Georgia's offensive line transferred to Ball State, Hawaii and Akron! What the hell?"

\m/ 

Now, if only someone would do a thrash metal cover of Bad Blood.....or Shake It Off.

No clue who Abscissa is.

Chris Potter was the son on Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, where David Carradine played a modern day descendent of his character from the original show.

Catherine Disher was the love interest on the vampire cop show Forever Knight, which had a really shitty ending.

Potter was the sheriff who eventually married the main character in Hallmark's Good Witch movies, but he was unavailable when they turned into in a series, so they killed his character off. 

Disher was the Mayor when The Good Witch became a series, but I don't believe she was in the movies.

What I like is that they got some of the original voice actors back. The original actors for Cyclops and Magneto are deceased, and the actress who played Jubilee declined and told them to get someone Asian for the role. Jean and Gambit have new voice actors, but Catherine Disher, who played Jean, is going to be playing a different character. 

Ben Mendelsohn has said he wants to play Doom, but on Facebook a LOT of people are saying they should cast Mads Mikkelsen. I really am not thrilled with either of those.

The only casting I'm not thrilled with is Pedro Pascal, but only because he's been in a lot of things lately. And I can't see Reed with just a mustache. Hope he goes with a beard. 

@DMN in the House Copperhead Road is the first country song I ever bought the cassette single of back in the day. Its still to this day one of my go-to songs. (Look up the Wailin' Banshees cover on Youtube for an Irish take on it.)

I agree about country music and politics, but I listed Aldean and Hank Jr because those are two specific cases of assholes who I have given up on due to their political beliefs. Aldean's "Try That In A Small Town" is bullshit because small towns are exactly where a lot of that has been happening. Bocephus comparing Obama to Nazis was too over the line. I still listen to their old stuff, but will not pay for or listen to anything new. And Aldean's most well known song, "Dirt Road Anthem", is a cover. Colt Ford and Brantley Gilbert did the original version.

(Kid Rock is on that same musical shitlist, but I only liked a couple of his songs to begin with.)

Willie Nelson may very well outlive us all. Him and Keith Richards.

Haven't listened yet, so I can't comment. But Post Malone says he's doing a country album, and I am looking forward to that. 

At least Mahomes is nowhere near Aaron Rodgers level of douchebaggery/assholish behavior. Yet a lot of people still love Rodgers. My guess? They're all mostly conservatives. (Who are all assholes.)

I knew going into the game that our secondary would struggle. Spent way too much money on the Frontline and not enough on cornerbacks. I would much rather have a shut down corner then Chase Young. And we had been having issues with offensive play calling pretty much all season. Shanahan gets in his head too much and doesn't stick with the run game enough. No excuse or whining from me, as frustrating as it is.

The reason I said what I said is because the Football group I was in had a LOT of arrogant, obnoxious fans in it. But the 49ers fans were by far the worst (two in particular especially), actually more irritating than the Eagles ones. Everyone was also heavily biased and insulting to the Cowboys fans in the group, even the realists like me. 

I quit basically because a large amount of posters in the group had the brain cells OF a football. 

Ghosted and The Family Plan, both on Apple TV.

Recommend both, and both are funny as heck. But The Family Plan, the baby steals the show almost every time he's in a scene.

Hope there's a sequel to Ghosted.

I notice a mistake in Ghosted, which also has something hilarious as well:

I didn't want to say anything about it being canceled, but yeah, that's one of the reasons I haven't finished it.

No major spoilers or anything, but no cliffhanger ending, really. 

Besides, the main character was unlikeable, so I felt no vested interest in whether he got out of trouble or not. I probably wouldn't have watched a second season.

I'd rather have gotten another season of Designated Survivor on Netflix than Rabbit Hole.

I know quite a few 49ers fans that are in a Football group I quit a few months ago who can go fuck themselves. Kind of wish I was still in it to go read their whining, excuse making, and conspiracy theory/NFL is rigged garbage.

Maybe he should have stuck to hosting game shows.  Debt was a quality show as @GoGo Yubari can attest.

Yes, but it was no Tic Tac Dough. 

The Buffet Raiders are trash, period. 

Chip must be either getting paid more to be an OC than he was getting as a HC or has been promised the job once Michigan's Bitch decides to fire Third Base.

We've been watching Percy Jackson on Disney+ with the kids, and while it's fairly middling Edge just turned up as Ares and got to do some acting. He's not bad.

He has done a few movies, including Highlander Endgame, a movie with Jamie Kennedy, and another with Kelsey Grammer. And he was a regular on the show Haven and in over 20 episodes of Vikings.

It was interesting to see who they cast as the gods. Obviously, they'll have to recast Zeus going forward.

If politics come into it, there's a lot of artists I'd never listen to, and not just in country. Hank Williams Jr got fired from doing the Monday Night Football for comparing Obama to Nazis, and Jason Aldean is a world class asshat. I refuse to buy anything new from either, and avoid obviously right-wing slanted songs. 

Maren Morris decided to leave country music, and its partially due to all the bullshit. But I also think its due to her pop songs being more successful.
