Call me a nerd, but I like this film a lot, there's not one bit of modern cgi in the whole film.
I admire the talent throughout the entire movie.

I think you're thinking of the princess bride.

Dark Crystal is permanently in my Netflix instant watch queue. Same with Labyrinth. I also kind of like Legend, even though it is Mr. Cruise.

Ya can't judge Tom Cruise on his earlier films, that's like looking wedding pictures and only thinking of the bad times.

I can't help it if his work and lifestyle in the past 15 years have put the taint o' the Cruise on everything he's ever done.

I grew up with the Muppets and anything Jim Henson or Frank Oz related....
The Dark Crystal
The Labyrinth
Fraggle Rock
The Storyteller...

Love all that stuff, I appreciate the amount of work that goes into making puppets and then using them with that kind of skill...it's more hands on and that's the way I learn/do things. CGI is cool and all but there is something to be said for the real deal....just like stop motion animation LOVE it!

Now I want to watch the Dark Crystal again!

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2010, 09:09:18 PM »

I agree.

All this has got me thinking about the movie Heavy Metal.. I think its time to watch it again.. I have the DVD here some place...

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #19 on:** January 21, 2010, 09:05:11 PM »

He, I have that on laserdisc, might have to pop that in sometime soon.

cb650 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2010, 05:49:47 AM »

I have it on VHS. Had it for 20 years. The second one was lame. South park did a show on it. I sware they used the original animation in parts.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2010, 06:38:01 AM »

second one?

Duke McDukiedook · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2010, 12:10:37 PM »

Yep, Heavy Metal 2 with Julie Strain, wasn't totally horrible if you are properly medicated and in a stupid movie mood.
