Throwback Thursday: “Highlander” (1986)!

Leave a comment

I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie.  I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.

Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made.  Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?

It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though.  (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.)  Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.

Pro tip — if you clean your house without your glasses on, it takes half the time, because most stuff looks clean enough already.

I swear this works.

Again the skies incur my spite —

Damn the sparing heavens and their promises of green!

Throwback Thursday: the Roller Rink!

I remember.  For us, it was Skate Grove in Middle Island, New York.

This meme actually fails to convey  three elements that were key to the experience — flashing lights, crowds of kids and The J. Geils Band blasting on the speakers.

They could even call it “Footlose.”

You know you have truly arrived when you start getting messages from Kelvin Bacon.

If there isn’t a store-brand “Footloose” knockoff connected with this person, I’m going to be very disappointed.
