I think I was almost four when I first saw that movie. I was two when it came out in theatres, and we rented it. So it was not long after it had been out on video, but also not, like, the very day it came out on video. And I cried hysterically, and kept crawling into my mom's bed for months. My father, through some crazyheaded reasoning, seemed to think I needed to watch the sequels, and I hated those as well.
I no longer remember the plot at all, just that the empress (she was the sparkly girl all in white, right?) was very pretty and that the big flying pink dog made me really nervous when he roared.
So, yeah, I hate those movies, but it is probably an unreasoning hate, since I couldn't even tell you why I loathe them, since I no longer remember, but you couldn't force me to watch them again, no matter how long it's been.
I've never seen Time Bandits.
that the big flying pink dog made me really nervous when he roared.
I remember one night at Rice we randomly brought up the issue of whether Falcor was a dragon dog or a dog dragon.
As far as I know, I am a fan of the movie. I haven't seen it in many many years, though.
I've never seen Time Bandits.
Nor have I.
Time Bandits, the MST3K'ed movie? If it's what I think it is, it's from 1993, has preposterously cheap FX, and has a five-second appearance by Lisa Kudrow. It's hilarious.
Many of the movies listed above are truly awful, but the only one I can recall walking out of at the theater for quality reasons (as opposed to me feeling queasy or somesuch) is Out Cold. Yes, this is the movie that rottentomatoes.com gave a fresh rating less than half that earned by The Cat in the Hat.
Alibelle and P-C should run right out and rent Time Bandits. I mean, c'mon! Terry Gilliam! Midgits! Sean Connery as Theseus Agamemnon!! The Ultimate Evil! God!
No. Time Bandits, the insanely brilliant fantasy movie by the insanely great Terry Gilliam, with a cameo by Sean Connery.

Aww. The movie with Caroline Dhavernas? (Hey, and Zach Galifianakis!) That's a shame.
If it's what I think it is,
Nope. This is the Terry Gilliam movie from the 80s. Made around the same time as Brazil, and equally fucked-in-the-head, if less well known.
Eww. I don't like Sean Connery. For me, he's like Nicholas Cage. More of a hindrance in getting me to see your movie than an enticement.
Well, it's a small part, Alibelle. I think he's in it for all of about fifteen minutes. Most of the time it's a little kid, and a bunch of little people.
