While watching Highlander 3 (not for the first time, either...) with the 'rents

::mid-movie::

ShakaMom: So [the villain] can change into birds, too?
Rashaka: Lots of the immortals have supernatural powers. Especially in the tv show.
ShakaDad: MacLoed doesn't have any powers.
Rashaka: He can walk under water.
ShakaDad: They can all do that.
ShakaMom: How come they can walk underwater?
ShakaDad: Because they're immortal, and don't have to breathe. Or eat.
Rashaka: Though they do eat. MacLoed doesn't have any real superpowers, though. I guess it's just because he's "awesome" enough as himself, or something.
ShakaDad: Yeah. But he has confidence issues. And he angsts.
Rashaka: A lot.

::further mid-movie::

Rashaka: If this is the French Revolution then why was that guy beheaded for betrayal to the King? The nobles and the monarchs were the ones on the chopping block. This must be pre-revolution, or something.
ShakaMom: It really doesn't matter.
Rashaka: But--
ShakaMom: Can we just watch the show?

::pre-climactic battle::

ShakaDad: They're going to fight in a power plant, huh.
Rashaka: Of course a power plant. Where else would they fight?

::climactic battle quickening, with electricity going crazy and stuff exploding everywhere::

ShakaMom: They've got to stop doing this in dangerous places. It's a wonder any of them live so long.

Me: "Well, she was yelling for him."

Bwah!


I agree with you on the red dress, but I'm pretty sure there's a famous 16th century paiting about a girl with a pearl earring.

She seemed adamant about her history, so I just let her go with it. I can say with 100 percent certainty, it's a painting she's never seen, tho.

Every time I see that movie, when they show the shot of the car being lowered into the hold, I start complaining. "They didn't paint cars red back then! How can Cameron get so many minor bullshit details about the ship only people like myself would notice, but get a car color wrong?!"
