99% of the time I'm against remaking classics, but this one has piqued my curiousity.

You know, I'm pretty sure I did too.  Regardless of what me or my brother wanted to see, we always ended up seeing whatever my Mom wanted to see...including Halloween during it's opening week.  That was great, I totally didn't have nightmares for years after that.

Now image seeing that and Alien as a young kid.  Thanks, mom.

I refuse to watch this. 

NOTHING compares to Eric Idle and Shelly Duvall. NOTHING.

The show on Netflix? I didn't watch that either, the actor that plays the killer is too much of a p*ssy. No way he's a killer.

You said Nothing compares to Idle and Duvall, but I think Nothing Compares 2 U.

Makes me want to rewatch the original -- I remember liking it, but I don't remember much else.

Canceled after one season...

https://tvline.com/news/time-bandits-cancelled-apple-tv-plus-season-2-lisa-kudrow-1235331500/

Time has run out on Apple TV+’s Time Bandits: The epic fantasy is ending after just one season at the streamer, TVLine has learned.

An adaptation of the 1981 Terry Gilliam film, Time Bandits followed an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin (Kal-El Tuck) as he joined up with a ragtag group of thieves and traveled through time and space with them on a series of fantastical adventures. Lisa Kudrow co-starred as Penelope, with Charlyne Yi as Judy and Kiera Thompson as Kevin’s sister Saffron.

Taika Waititi served as a co-creator of Time Bandits along with his What We Do in the Shadows producing partner Jemaine Clement and The Inbetweeners alum Iain Morris. Waititi also appeared on the show as the Supreme Being, with Clement playing the villain known as Pure Evil. (What We Do in the Shadows is also set to end its FX run with its sixth and final season, debuting this October.)

Time Bandits debuted on Apple TV+ in July, with two episodes airing each week until the Aug. 21 season finale. The cancellation caps Time Bandits’ run at a total of 10 episodes.
