@emsquared Old Ludovic found it completely bewildering. I found it boring, like a comedic take on Dr Who that didn't land.

@Black_Flag Ha. Controversial.

[black_flag@syzito.xyz]

@emsquared Time Bandits was a million times better.

@emsquared watch the latest David Olosuga series

[emsquared@mastodon.social]

@Black_Flag Ah well I'm with you there. Brilliant film. I mean David Warner, Sean Connery, and the naturally bonkers Sir Ralph Richardson and quite the ending for kids too.

@John_Loader what's that on?

[emsquared@mastodon.social]

@Black_Flag Slightly bigger budget than a BBC TV series. If only Terry Gilliam got to make it.

[black_flag@syzito.xyz]

@emsquared I've just learned because of this there's an Apple TV series thats just been made of Time Bandits. It looks predictably sub-par.

[emsquared@mastodon.social]

@Black_Flag Typical. I think I did see something about that and it looked unrecognisable.
