Appreciate the explanation that saves me from having to watch it. Sounds like I really missed a classic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All I remember about Willow is Val Kilmer being super alpha and bedding the barbarian princess lady and then escaping with the midget down a the side of a mountain by riding a shield

willow is actually great but its definitly a version of lord of the rings where they used midgets instead of small actors and camera tricks so its like a circus version of lotr, also baby instead of a ring.

Isn't "little people" just infinitely more offensive? I don't know any little people, but I would think this sounds so much more derogatory. Almost like it's a phrase that is trying to be PC, but comes off being underhandedly offensive. Kind of like you tried your best to classify someone, but it wasn't quite good enough.

Dwarf isn't any better, even though I think it's way cooler.

Don't get me started on "cretinism", which is actually some kind of physical congenital disease or something that I've heard people associate with midgets. That's gotta be the worst.

I don't know man. Every time I seen them on TV, they all say that "midget" is highly offensive and that they prefer to be called little people.


"Midget" as slur


During the 2009 National Conference of the Little People of America, a press conference was held to make a public statement regarding the use of the word "midget", which is considered offensive by many people with dwarfism. The statement was made in direct response to an episode of Celebrity Apprentice which featured a multiple uses of the word "midget" and a justification of it by one of the celebrities, Jesse James.[4] Members of the LPA have filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over the use of the word midget on broadcast television.[5] The complaint said that "the word 'midget' is considered offensive to the dwarfism community and should not be seen or heard on TV or radio".[6]

Seen parts of it on TV when flipping channels, purely accidental.

Not saying it aint good, I just never watched it. I even like Ralph Fiennes and still never felt compelled to watch Harry Potter movies.
