I would have loved to see Hail Caesar! but for some reason it had a limited release over here. I think it only aired in the arthouse theatre of the nearby city. They advertised the hell out of it on television though so I have no idea what was up with that.

Hail Ceasar has a lot of good jokes but the plot connecting them all isn't very good, tbh. It's like a series of sketches about 'golden-age' Hollywood with a mediocre mystery plot in it, and the other major throughline, the Studio executive guy's character arc, didn't really land for me either. I think a lot of the comedy in it was genuinely really good, though, so it's a mixed bag.

I really like Arnold going for non action roles now. I really liked Maggie and hope Arnold continues to choose non gimundous action starrers. It's good when actors play against type. Like how awesome it is to have Liam Neeson be a badass action grandpa after being pegged to dramatic roles when younger. I would also like Mads to do comedy. Maybe a rom com. "This summer, can geeky nerd supreme Mads win over the high school crush of his dreams by challenging her jock boyfriend Chanimg Tatum to a rap battle now that they are middle aged" Mads Channing Tatum Ariana Grande Dame Judi Dench Dame Helen Mirren Ian McKellan Patrick Stewart Neil Patrick Harris Ice Cube And Michael Shannon as MC Chill Gatts fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Feb 11, 2017 |

There's so much stuff happening and not explicitly spelled out that you'll pick up new things with every viewing. Without spoilering anything: I still don't know how you even begin to put together and then shoot something like the last set piece. They haven't even announced a release date for it here in Australia yet: quote:The film hasn't been classified in Australia, and none of the major cinema chains have a set screening date for it.

So last year it was announced that John Wick's Chad Stahelski had been hired for the long in the works Highlander reboot. In a recent interview he talks about how he's basically been given free reign to do whatever he wants with the franchise. He also mentions how bad the stuff that was previously done was with "there was aliens, meteors, spaceships, uh, DNA mutations, terrorists."

Methuselah is a 900 year old human being who is known for carrying the Sword of Methuselah which vanquishes evil and comes from pre-history, just as the Highlanders do. But yeah there were some rad swordfights and songs. I think the John Wick guy could def hit it out of the park.

Methuselah is a 900 year old human being who is known for carrying the Sword of Methuselah which vanquishes evil and comes from pre-history, just as the Highlanders do. They flip flopped on this in the movies vs. the series as to whether it was just an honor/faith thing or whether actual crazy poo poo goes down if they do. But as the series went on I liked that it was less holy ground and more "holy stuff" like Catholic relics or remains of particularly deified people or cemetaries. Fighting where the spirits of past folks are strong or whatever. Like in Final Dimension Mario van Peebles clowns on McLeod and is about to kill him but there's a reaction from the religious artifacts around that leaves him shaken to the point where he can't bring himself to finish him off. They're not on holy ground but rather just in a place where some relics are being stored. I thought that was kind of interesting because in the first movie Ramirez talks about fighting enemies with faith, skill and heart or whatever. So like before the gathering happens are they all just hiding their immortality by being religious figures? Are Ramirez and Kurgan weird exceptions for being so active in world affairs? tl:dr: the sequel movies might have been more interesting if they went more into the spiritual aspects of the characters beyond the basic Christian parallels instead of the planet Zeist and each flick being so bad the next sequel had to pretend the previous one didn't exist.
