Childhood revisited

in movies •  5 years ago 

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this to be happening. The trailer looks amazing and the world where the story takes place is a creative person's dreamland.



I would have to ask my mother when was the first time I was captured by The Dark Crystal. I've loved this movie for so long, that I've been somewhat of a shill for the cult classic for most of my life. To be completely honest, I've purchased the DVD at least 10 times and have gifted it to close friends and family because that is how strongly I feel about the movie.

I've always loved it, not only because of the Henson's genius artistic vision, but also because of the portrayal of the good and evil dichotomy. Yes, there's a ton of philosophy that over the years I've extracted from watching this film, and yes, I am a bit crazy but you knew that already.

Netflix is taking over, and even though I was fearful of them messing up one of my precious childhood memories, they seem to be doing things right. The Trailer looks fantastic, but don't believe me, take a look yourself.

Are you excited too?

One of my best friends from college/uni has been doing a lot of VFX work for this. Stoked for him, hope its good.

That is too cool... Well, the trailer looks amazing, so I have high hopes.

Yeah its epic man he just posted about it on facebook today. He has to keep quiet about everything he works on until the cats out of the bag. He's just a regular guy like me, the only thing that got him to where he got too is self belief, determination and perseverance.

That is too cool... Well,

I am writing a blog post, this is my old time favourite movie, like ALL TIME FAVOURITE MOVIE. Excited/fearful. pd some of my friends are working on it, which relieves me in several times and i'm that girl that forces (still) friends to watch The dark crystal, at least now the old movie will be revisited

did I say I was a total nuts about the movie?

like did I? LOL

Oh Pris... I'm crazy for this movie too... Anka doesn't like it too much, it almost destroyed our relationship early on. hahahahaha

<3

Then she must watch "the making of" LOL and read "The World of the Dark Crystal" which explains allllllllll the backgroudn information that was not even included in the movie. For me it's a movie about balance, very powerful lesson, will try to put something together for an article later on. I recorded a cover of the dark crystal time ago I will share it, but I recently did another one and need to polish it and maybe make a simple video :) pd. my dog was called Kira because of Kira

Holy shit! First I am hearing of it and I am a bit leery but the preview looks pretty damn good. I will be watching for sure.

It's our duty as children from the 80's

Haven't seen it yet. But If it gets you this excited, it must be really good. I hope Netflix nails it, will be watching.

For all the material I've seen on this project, I think Netflix did a great job!

I know the feeling! They keep bringing back so many stories with improved technology and special effects makes it a great throwback!

Challenge....of STONE!!!

I remember being pleasantly creeped out by the original so many years ago. I often refer to my little girls as gelflings. Now that they are old enough to enjoy it, I will watch it with them in preparation for this one for sure. I hope it passes the Dukes of Hazzard test (is it as enjoyable as I remember it being?)

I wish it was t a prequel as that generally means the best story has already been told and they cop out and rehash. That is splitting hairs though as this looks awesome.
