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.

Your observation on the French Revolution discrepancy amused me--I hate it when they do things like that ("...but why are they killing him? They should be killing that OTHER dude! Wha...???")

It's nice to know other people watch movies like I do. Especially that they've been raised to do that. I have the same sort of discussions with my parents (as well as random extra shout-outs, like "I was the Nazi in the back right corner of Raiders.").
