Was that the movie where the hobbit named Willow has to destroy the child of prophecy by throwing it into Mount Doom?

Oddly enough, one of my friends was just discussing that movie last weeked -- talking about the sad fate of the actor who played Burglecut or whatever is name is. Then we sequed into stories about what all the midgets did during the filming of The Wizard of Oz. (Short version: Drink a WHOLE FUCKING LOT. Foul-mouthed, shit-faced, munchkins are the win). |

Willow is way better than Lord of the Rings. I even bought the sticker book for it. I think I was only eight years old though.

My dad's favorite fantasy movie can beat up your dad's favorite fantasy movie.
Also, Excalibur is the best fantasy movie evar, unless you need more fantastical settings. Then I'd say Hawk the Slayer. Jack Palance ftw.

But Willow > LoTR? If you're talking about the old animated one, yes. If you're talking about Peter Jackson's version? Way the hell no.

Yes he did. 3 years ago after making four films. Willow, Hardware and a couple of others that nobody saw. David Rappaport was a famous dwarf who killed himself when he was 39 years old. That was tragic. |

I still consider Excalibur as the definitive King Arthur movie. Nothing else has even come close. |

Too much plate armor. Too much Merlin saying "Hey guys, I'm an alien! Or possibly Jesus." |

If he's the one I'm thinking of, he did -- but after simply dropping off the face of the Earth for awhile, and not in a "good" way. In the "No one has seen or spoken to him for two years, not even his manager". Maybe it was time bandits with the drunken midgets? I saw a video once. |

An amusing movie when I was 10ish and finally saw it on HBO. |

Hrm, I didn't hate that version of King Arthur. Certainly better than damnable First Knight. Maybe not Excaliber quality, but it's been awhile since I'd seen that one.

To be honest, whatever the hell I was watching, my actual thought was "I'm fucking drunk, but not as drunk as that guy". All I remember is a drunk midget falling down the stairs, sitting up, saying something like "Hell, forgot my fucking beer" and then going back up the stairs for his beer. |

Kind of a pointless release, to be honest. So what if they're working together. What I want to know is what they're working on.
Edit: I'm still not convinced that what MMORPG that BioWare has been working on the last 2 years is what LA and BioWare are working on here forward. Could be, and probably is, two seperate things. I'll hold fast my role as the cynic and sole nonbeliever :P

I enjoyed it, but since I specified that Excalibur was the defining movie treatment of the legend of Arthur then Darniaq loses. |
