No, not the classic 80s movie. I’m talking about the new series from Apple TV headlined by Lisa Kudrow!

Scrolling through Apple TV last night and saw this previewed and figured this would be a hit on this board



Lisa Kudrow is the best they could get?

Yet again, Dwarfs, just like redheads, have been erased from existence...

That's a bummer.. I loved the dwarf dressed lime napoleon. Cracked me up. It was a twisted movie.

Taika Waititi has struggled on his last few movies, but his shows have been great. Jemaine Clement is also producing and wrote some episodes as well. This could be really good. I’m going to give it a shot even though I hate that they are fricking with one of my all time favorite movies.

Our Flag Means Death was trash. There’s a reason it only lasted 2 seasons. I think I made it through 3-4 episodes and gave up. It wasn’t that funny.

I haven't looked it up yet, but I'm curious if it's a remake or just a completely different show that ended up with the same name.

Update:

It is based on the movie, but all the characters have different names (except for "Supreme Being").

Even the Wiki is short on info.

I will say that just reading behind the lines leaves me with ZERO confidence in this being even remotely good.

Especially this:

Taika Waititi as Supreme Being


I dunno who told this man he was some kind of amazing actor, but he needs to stop self-inserting himself into his projects.

That poor man.

FYI - if he had been on CNN last night, he would have been the oldest person on stage. For context.

I made my son watch Time Bandits with me, he asked why I liked it so much and that was my exact response.

Let’s not forget the incredible cast they put together for the original:

Sean Connery
Shelly Duval
John Cleese
Michael Palin
Katherine Helmond
Ian Holm
David Warner - Evil Genius was especially excellent

And the dwarves weren’t just awesome because they were dwarves, their performances were great! The exchanges between Randall and Wally were epic!

I’mGlad they just continue to shite on past classics.. at the very least they could’ve used dwarf actors.. it was a major component to their personalities.. their race and gender are benign to the humor..

Won’t watch
