www.lashconevents.com/highlander-30th I swear, I didn't think these were ever going to happen again. With a (prayers it's good) remake of the first movie in the works, apparently earlier this year a con event organizer realized that there were no Highlander-related conventions happening. So this one came up quite suddenly.
I will be there! My bank account is going to scream and wail at me....

Wait, there's a remake of the first movie being done? I dunno how I feel about that...
(Nice to see you around btw.)

Thank you! I know, I know, it's been a long time. But when we aren't talking about the books, we're arguing politics. And with the insanity going on, I'm avoiding THAT here.
I am terribly excited. I actually watched the fan-made Highlander: The Watcher. I got to preview it, and quite liked it. I have some acquaintance with a few of the people involved, though I've only met one in person. I haven't been to a Highlander convention since 1997.

Just stay out of the 'Tank.
Plenty of non-political discussion in the other forums.
Never watched the fan made one...maybe I should seek it out. Actually, about 2/3 of the way through a re-watch of the series. Had to take a break around season 4 though.

You're rewatching it NOW? Oh, except you said you took a break around Season 4. OH! Oh, let me introduce you to some of our other lunatics!

"There should be only one!"
Is what I exclaimed after watching Highlander II...and III...and...
The first Highlander film is one of my all time favorites.
The idea of a remake doesn't bother me. It doesn't erase the original.
I predict the remake will be an okay film in the vein of the remake of Total Recall and The Day The Earth Stood Still. Sort of Meh but not terrible.

I wish I could believe it were otherwise. Heh!

I'm not saying that Highlander2 was the worst movie ever made......wait....yes I am.
It was so bad it actually went back in time for me and negatively affected how much I loved the 1st one.
Yes, the suck was so bad it warped time.
(What I just wrote had a better plot and made more sense and High2)
When do they start remaking The Lord of the Rings? Another couple of years?

There is no Highlander II. It was a figment of your warped imagination. It never happened, it didn't exist. There is only 1. And the series.

That, by the way, was a terrible convention. The organizer, Lashman, was very... disorganized, and he ripped off a lot of the guests. Adrian Paul did alright with his Sword Experience, because that has a life of its own.
In face, even now in Covid-19 that is going really well. He and the people working with him have really stepped up.

I get that! The Highlander fandom is hilarious.
