Writer's Block: I'm off to see the wizard

[Error: unknown template qotd]

In my last year in Melbourne, I happened upon a "3 for $15" video sale and found The Dark Crystal, The Princess Bride and Labyrinth, all of which I remember adoring from my early teens. The first two held up to the years. Labyrinth... not so much.

I mean, David Bowie is still awesome in it (even if he does seem stoned in several scenes!) but the tights are just too much, and Jennifer What's-Her-Name is just awful in it and the effects just... no. Apparently you have to be a kid, or at least have access to whatever the production crew were smoking, to really get back into this one.

The Dark Crystal, on the other hand, still rocks.
