Dear Twilight fandom -
Thank you for making everyone else look so steady and well adjusted. (even the rabid HP fen).

love and headdesks,
me.

Among the news: the film will be more “romantic” and include a subplot about Connor MacLeod falling in love with a mortal woman, and dealing with the fact that she’s going to die.

Charlie, have you *seen* the original movie? Those are two of the main plot points. (Plot point #3 of course involves Kurgan and the choppy choppy)

On the up side (maybe?), Peter Davis is apparently involved with this bludgeoning of my childhood remake, and his actual quote ran like this:

I would hate to think that people viewed Highlander as a sword fighting movie because it?s much more than that. The issues of an immortal falling in love with a woman and knowing she?s going to grow old and die in your arms, those are very romantic issues to deal with.

These aren’t new concepts, it’s a reminder to the *OMG swords!!* fanboy contingent that there was always more to the move than that.

Did McCain just nominate Laura Roslin to be his VP?

It actually looks better than I was expecting.
