People talk about how stuff from the 80s and 90s was nightmare fuel, or too uncanny to be charming, or just plain strange. I contend that there was more creativity in the 80s and 90s and we were seeing performance artists and craftspeople at their absolute peak. When I look at something like Dark Crystal and compare it with something like the latest sterile CGI pixar or dreamworks movies, I feel sad.
I fear for the day Hollywood decides to remake Labyrinth. Amazing movie with some of the greatest puppetry ever. Today it would probably be a 3D CGI crapfest. Also who could ever replace Bowie? Somehow I think they’d get Will Smith in there.
1000% they would cast Will Smith.
Labyrinth is one of my favs, I rewound the tape so many times it broke. But I don't see a movie getting made today about a grown man kidnapping a baby so that his 16 year old sister will come be his captive "obedient" lover in his castle where he keeps his riding crops but no horses. Just sayin.
Through adult eyes, absolutely.
As a child, fuck the Skeksis.
Artax died from sadness.
It's kids movie, let's start it out on a happy note, eh?
Nah, horse dies of sad right off the bat.
