1. Tintin: Solens Tempel

2. Highlander (1986)
Strange to say, I had never seen Highlander until tonight, even if I've had it for four and a half years. It is a film of nearly all style and very little substance—but oh, the style! It doesn't get more 80s than this: Queen's almost ridiculously over the top music, backlit swordfights in abandoned industrial buildings, Sean Connery, a diabolic villain, and a star who does an admirable job of portraying someone who has been alive for so long he is very nearly a zombie... Beautiful, beautiful brain candy, but the actual nutritional value is negligible. There are also some plot holes: after much is done of the police chase for the "headhunter", that subplot is dropped and not mentioned again.
Oh, and if I could have an interview without him chopping me to pieces just for shits and giggles, I'd like to talk to the Kurgan about his mother tongue. I mean, a probable native PIE speaker—I'd be willing to forgive a lot of his misbehaviour for that chance.
