Val Kilmer WILL be in it.

That's impossible. He's a straight white man.

~~Leo656~~ · 05-29-2022, 10:08 AM

I seen the first Top Gun, he ain't THAT straight.

Val Kilmer is a cool guy.

I spoke to him on Reddit years ago when he had an account there, and we talked about Batman Forever. That's probably the only time I've ever talked to a celebrity (unless the account was run by a handler, though it really seemed like it was actually him to me, who knows), and it was mostly just me shooting the breeze like he was someone on the Technodrome Forum.

No no, he's disabled now. So of course he's welcomed into the diversity coalition. They'd like it more if he was in a wheelchair and/or blind, but this will work for them.

Oh damn. WTF.... I mean... I guess at least he's somehow still getting work....?

For sure. He's doing as much as he can right now.

Also, if you have Amazon Prime there's a nice autobiographical doc he did all about himself over the years. It's interesting. This is a guy that had the world by the balls for a long time, yet is still so humble.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 05-31-2022, 02:19 AM

Looks terrible, reminds me of a cheap stage play lol

*Andrew NDB* · 05-31-2022, 02:45 AM

What they did with Willow's hair is a little dodgy... but I was actually super impressed with everything else.

*NinjaPug* · 05-31-2022, 09:38 AM

Looked better than Amazon’s LOTR show that probably had double the budget

*Andrew NDB* · 08-18-2022, 06:49 PM

After rewatching Willow with my daughter (which, eh, didn't go as bad as I thought it might) and another closer look at that trailer... Bavmorda is clearly IN the trailer (at 0:13 and 0:32), and fine. I'd forgot that Bavmorda's "death" in the original movie is basically just her swooshing out of the room as energy. Hardly a conclusive end.

Oh, and also there's clearly the beginning of lesbian kiss at 1:01. Very important that a Willow sequel have that in it.

Of course. How else are they gonna reel in a male audience? Guys really like watching two women kiss. (Or at least that’s what I read).

*Andrew NDB* · 11-30-2022, 12:53 PM

So it's out. And oh, dear...

“The big surprise of Disney’s Willow show: queer romance is front and center, a decision creator Jonathan Kasdan says was ‘just organic’ to creating the sequel.'”

"This was completely unwatchable. I lasted about 15mins.. but husband (a big fan of the original as a kid) insisted we keep trying.. 20 mins was enough even for him. This show is another great example of not a single character being a fun and good person that you want to hang about with. The two main girls, are insurable, not Galadriel level, but darn close. The scene where she is at a call to meet her appropriately weaselly new husband and has a tantrum is one of the worst scenes I have sat through in a long time, and there has been some shockingly bad moments in tv and film this year. This show is absolute drivel. What a pathetic waste of the IP. Ready, get set…. terrible."

Kinda like me and IDW TMNT after #100.

They just can't help themselves. Everything has to be 'front and center'. It can't just be a casual thing in the background, even though I'm 99.9% sure no one was gay in the original Willow. Sheesh.

Well, Raziel and Bavmorda did give off that “old married couple” vibe. They certainly fought like one.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-01-2022, 02:26 AM

Saw the first episode. Yeah. It's 80% lesbian melodrama, 19% spoken history and world-building without any showing of any kind... and then 1% actual Willow. And no likeable characters.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-01-2022, 02:33 PM

Saw the 2nd one. Well, at least there's a lot more Willow... though he is basically a failed sorcerer who bumbles around for laughs. They make it clear we're not to take him seriously. Only the female characters are capable.

Must have been a small budget here. We see Willow's village and it has like 10% of the population we saw in the movie. And they only mention Willow's wife, we don't see her.

Man those two lesbians are unlikable. Everything coming out of their mouths is just bitch, bitch, bitch. And token Indian rogue guy doesn't really have any purpose.
