The Dark Crystal

Post by bonerlaw » Thu Mar 13, 2008 1:00 pm

anyone remember this quality jim henson film from the 80s?

Ok, next question, anyone think gail platt from coronation street looks like a gelfling?

I know a picture comparison would help, but im still at work and am using my n95 mobile phone!

Loved it when I was younger, saw it a few years ago and the rough edges were more apparent... still a good film, mind.

Trying to remember if there was any merchandise/cereal pack promotion...

Great song though :)

"You remind me of the babe?"
"What babe?"
"Babe with the power"
"What power?"
"Power of voodoo"...

Dark Crystal is a good movie, Labyrinth is even better.

My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue.
Nobody knew."


Love that song. The movies awesome. Never saw Dark Crystal. Might have to be my next purchase. tomorrow.

And yes, his crotch in tights is most disturbing. Its like watching two squirrels trying to get out of some cling film :shock:

sorry dude.
Didn't mean to scar you for life!
Mind you, I've seen worse things.



Like Kylie Minogue's diabolical acting in Street Fighter and Michael Jackson

Dark Crystal... good film. Not seen it for a while, but I loved that fizzyjig thing...

Labyrinth...

1. Mmmm.. Jennifer Connelly (Hey.. I was only 14 at the time.. :D )

2. Ack... David Bowie. He was rubbish...

Btw if anyone fancies seeing a making of the Labyrinth game in the mag one day feel free to let me know... there's some quite interesting stories behind that one.

I think I watched it a while back, but can't really remember much about it.

I've always been a big fan of Labyrinth though. I think I'll buy Dark Crystal, and see what it's like. I know that a lot of people hold it in high regard.
