The Scotto Grotto (org)

One nice thing about the new Time Bandits Apple TV series is that the original version isn’t going anywhere. I will reserve final judgment for later, but if I am going by previews and the judgment of people I’ve talked to whom I trust, the new show looks superfluous and weak. My desire to seek it out and watch it once it finishes its run is pretty heavily dampened. II really loved the 1981 film, and I’m really not sure why anyone thought there was a need to retell that particular story again. I would really like to see a remake of a film that *wasn’t* great the first time and made better the second or third time around. Of course, maybe the new version will impress me after all, and I will be really happy if it does. I would be delighted to be pleasantly surprised.
