THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982)
“Dar Crys, y’all. This shiz looks amaze. I wish there was a movie released every year that looked like this one, and was fantasy in genre, but had a better story, and more sword-and-sorcery-style violence and scary magic. Yo, it would be awesome to see a Conan movie done as Jim Henson puppets. Fuuuuuuuck.”
-Benny Gazelle
“Yo, fuckiiinn love being transported to a dreamworld of magic. Creatures, Crystals, and Crying Kids Who Get Scared Easily. Hah. Pussies. After he made the kids cry, Hollywood made Henson tone it down. Too bad, he would have certainly made puppet Conan next. Fuuuuuuuuck.”
-Danny Gazelle
“I had memories of the one outcast Skeksis like…corroding horribly…like…his skin sloughing off and him rotting and screaming and all sorts of terrifying David Cronenberg boy horror shit. Then I watched it at age 30 and he just kinda lost his fur coat. Still dig this, though, and wish puppet Conan was real.”
