oh that's easy - Highlander II: the Quickening

everyone said it was bad, but I fucking LOVE the original Highlander and I refused to listen. I dismissed their comments as the sort of fan negativity that accompanies almost any sequel of a good film. I knew better.

but no - they were right, it's embarrassing this film ever got released, and I'm still weirdly mad at myself for watching the whole thing.

What would you guys consider the worst movie you've ever seen? Not something that's fun to make fun of, nothing you ironically enjoyed, I mean just an absolutely miserable moviegoing experience that you paid for, hated every second, and wish you had walked out of and asked for a refund.

For me, no joke, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted. It did not even feel like a real movie to me. It made me see red! I was SEETHING with anger and annoyance throughout the entire thing, and I cannot for the life of me articulate why. I saw it once in 2012 when I was 15, I remember almost nothing about it now, but it struck a nerve with me like no other movie ever has before or since.

Tell me in the tags, which movie makes you disproportionately angry just thinking about it?

A thaw was setting in!

Although it remained chilly, with persistent patches of ice and frost in the shadier areas of the garden, the weather was undoubtedly changing, and much wetter and somewhat milder air was sweeping in rapidly from the great Atlantic Ocean. The climate on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands was about to return to normal: wild, wet and windy…

Algy hopped about the garden, looking for something to sing about, for in the short, dark days of mid-January, with all the festivities well past, and the longer, brighter days of spring still many weeks away, it was not always easy to find inspiration, and he knew that many of his friends felt gloomy at this point in the year.

Hoping to see signs of the first snowdrops, perhaps, Algy suddenly flopped down on the grass in astonishment, for the shoots he had spotted were not those of snowdrops, but daffodils… in mid-winter! And two or three shoots were even showing flower buds!

Even in the so-called mild climate of the wild west Highlands of Scotland, which is supposedly "warmed" by the North Atlantic Drift, this was remarkable in January. Algy rejoiced and, reflecting that out of the darkness, light will surely come, he leaned forward to whisper some words of encouragement in their fresh green ears,:

And now my spring beauties, Things of the earth, Beetles, shards and wings of moth And snail houses left From last summer's wreck, Now spring smoke Of the burned dead leaves And veils of the scent Of some secret plant, Come, my beauties, teach me, Let me have your wild surprise, Yes, and tell me on my knees Of your new life.

[Algy is whispering the poem Spring Song II by the 20th century American poet Jean Garrigue.]

Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, Black Watch, part of the 51st Highland Division in Northwest Europe. This is how they would’ve looked sometime in 1944-45. The 51st was a well seasoned division whose veteran corps derived from all over Scotland. When war broke out in September, 1939, the 51st was positioned on the French Maginot Line, a series of defensive works along the French-German border. In the Spring of 1940, as the Germans pushed the British Expeditionary Force through Belgium and into Dunkirk, the 51st was in a fighting withdrawl with the French Army. After the majority of the BEF withdrew from Dunkirk, the 51st fought with the french to St Valery, in northern Normandy. Unfortunately there were practically no rescue efforts to get the highlanders out, and they would he surrounded and captured by the 7th Panzer Division then commanded by General Erwin Rommel.

Over 10,000 men were captured from the 51st, and they would spend the next 5 years in POW Camps.

Back home in Scotland in August, General “Tartan Tam” Douglas Wimberley set to work reforming the Division pulling men from all over Scotland and ensuring the scottish pride of the division would be reborn. The Division then fought in every major campaign until the war’s conclusion, including North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Normandy, and the Rhine.
