- Start date
Nice reference to the original w/the giant who wore the ship as a hat..
My man movie buff.
Most of the actors who played the Bandits have passed on..as well as David Warner(R.I.P)
And...?
You mean Hollyweird can't recast new little people in the lead roles?
Hell, this practically begs for a new diverse cast of little people and talent to take center stage to move that story forward.
And without Peter Dinklage.

Dinklage the reason why they didnt cast little people in this...could also be why Terry Gilliam stormed off the set after he saw what they were doing
why?
Something about stereotyping
Thats crazy he going against his own people? I think I heard him say something about snow white movie too. But I thought he was advocating for them hire more little people.Something about stereotyping

I'm not saying I don't believe but it's interesting when certain actors never seem to publicly say anything positive about a project but always in headlines talking negative... and no one else co signs their version

Playa - interesting thing about Yi is that I know of their work / career, but have only really seen them in Always Be My Maybe, and Jexi a handful of years back.
Personal life
Yi describes their gender identity as "queer genderfluid enby".[19] They use they/them pronouns.
On Twitter, Yi accused Marilyn Manson of sexual harassment on the set of House.[20]
In 2018, Amber Tamblyn said of her husband David Cross, "Basically he was rightfully accused of doing something racist to the comedian Charlyne Yi," following tweets that Yi had posted on the subject in 2017.[21]
In 2021, they spoke out about their experience with James Franco, specifically discussing their efforts to quit his 2017 film, The Disaster Artist, after learning of the sexual misconduct allegations against him. Yi also criticized Seth Rogen for enabling Franco's behavior and continuing to work with him following the allegations.[22]
In 2024, Yi said that while filming Time Bandits for Apple TV+, they were constantly assaulted by a male actor who, in the process, injured their back. [23]

Sadly as listed they have never had a positive experience on set. In a very limited career.
Hollywood ain't for them apparently
Kaboom
@playahaitian
Sort of off-topic ... but hear me out.
When you mentioned Charlyne never apparently having a positive experience on set. Reminded me a bit about reading an online review of the organization I work for written by a disgruntled former staff (that I am pretty sure I know). She basically trashed the company about a bunch of stuff. The reason I assumed I knew who wrote it is because they mentioned their love for art / art therapy, and that was something this person was into.
Anyway ... long story short ... they just wrote about all the things they didn't like in their review as a former employee.
* Keep in mind they didn't mention all the questionable shit about their own self. Mainly ...
- Theft of company time
- Showing up late without an excuse, or not even at all (and wouldn't reply to voicemails or texts) - when they were the person who was supposed to arrive and relieve you on duty
- Using the general office computer to conduct their side hustle (escorting) ... which a coworker discovered when they left their email inbox open and it listed all type of price points for her services across a few sugardaddy / sugarbaby type platforms, Seeking Arrangement, etc.
I almost felt like replying on the reviews site ... "What about those shifts you didn't show up for? Or after your shift was over ... you getting dolled up to head out to the escorting jobs?"
Fuck outta here, _______ _____________ .
Sorry, not sorry.
H Funk aint nothing to play with
One of my weirdest interactions with her (probably around 2016 or so).
So I arrive on shift and the place is locked. I'm knocking & calling. No answer. I glance around and see she's out back on her cellphone.
Ok ... cool. She finally answers and lets me in. We're doing shift report and I could tell she was a bit antsy. Then she mentions she needs to get cleaned up. I'm like ... alright. Heads to the staff washroom & starts doing her make-up and whatnot. Keep in mind it's the evening.
Heads out and I later realize she took the main set of keys (about 10 keys on the loop). I'm like fuck ... calling ... leaving her messages. She finally calls me back hours later. "Sorry about that ..." ... says would it be ok to have her friend drop them off later? I'm like, whatever. She got picked up by this person / "friend" (probably a customer / john). He comes by to drop the keys off (after fucking my coworker) and tries to make small talk, lol. Cool dude ... asking me about the profession / education to get into the field, etc. I'm thinking - "Just give me the damn keys and head back to your apartment for round 2 with your lady ..."
Her side hustle paid about 4 - 5 times what our job pays, lol.
Dude was legit cool, which was what had me rollin'. He was a square, but cool as fuck in conversation.
You're damn right I sanitized the fuck outta those keys once he handed them over!!!!!!
This was pre-COVID ... but shit ... I wasn't taking any chances.
My former coworker was a dirty girl, Playa!
Agreed.
Additional funny side note ... so the other coworker who discovered she was planning the escorting dates while on the job was a woman in her early-50s who already found her sketchy.
Our office only has the 1 computer, and it's shared.
She just left her email account sitting there wiiiiide open with many of the price points for her services listed in the email header titles.
Coworker says to me - "Is this what I think it is?"
HFunk - "Oh shit ... I think so."
(Several minutes pass with us discussing WANTING to open those emails ... but not wanting to get into trouble. We talked it over for several minutes but smartly acted responsibly and professionally and just left the web session open so that the manager would happen across it and figure out what to do. I.E. - NOT OUR FUCKING PROBLEM!
If a fly were on the wall it would have laughed at me and my coworker ... us saying to ourselves - "Knowing our luck, we'll start clicking on emails and have a bunch of graphic images show up ..."
And we didn't want that shit on our conscience(s). We're health care professionals and shit. Strictly by the book(s).
This is the greatest episode of The Office - Canada never filmed
To picture the visuals ... white chick ... about 5'6" ... just under 30 years old ... perky titties ... decent ass. Too many tattoos. Fuckable. One of the coolest last names I've ever heard too.
Her first name's pretty cool too. Name of a cartoon character. Or comic strip character, I should say.
