    @Aqua-Letifer This is the first I remember hearing about Willow. Was it a movie?

    But yeah, cool trailer.

    Only the greatest fucking fantasy movie of all time, Mark. πŸ™„

    πŸ˜„ It came out in the 80s. It was supposed to be an ambitious 3-part series, but they ran out of money while making it and it didn't kill at the box office, so the follow-ups were scrapped.

      The movie is very 80s. But still awesome.

      Please love yourself.

        I don’t get it. I don’t really see anything special that other fantasy/adventure movies haven’t already done. :man-shrugging:

          You don't get something related to movies? I'm so surprised!

          It's not a cheesily made B-grade Asian rom-com so it might not be up your street, but the movie is a cult classic. The trailer's audience was everyone who saw the original, and they make references to it throughout.

          Please love yourself.

            I lived through the 80's. I remember the 80's. And a lot of 80's movies. Willow is not the best fantasy movie of all time. It's not even the best fantasy movie of the 80's.

            The best fantasy movie of the 80's is The Princess Bride.

                      I know some 80's nerds think Willow is the ultimate fantasy. But besides you and the other two guys, it's a very small advocacy group.πŸ˜›πŸ˜›

                        Never saw Willow - I'm not a "fantasy" fan.

                        Is it worth my retired time?

                            Yah. I watched about 30 minutes of Wheel of Time and...meh.

                            Gimme The Expanse, or Halo.

                            ST:SNW would do as well.

                              My niece named her daughter Elora. I don't think she named her after the movie though.

                              Anyway, how different do you think the original sequel is from the one they eventually put out? IIRC in the movie Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley were left with the baby.
