I think the best parts of your reviews are 1) Fake lore/movie trivia and 2) Popping off about what it'd be like for you (like having an owl go into your house). Just magic...pure dance magic.
The movie does have a lot of themes related to growing up and approaching sexual maturity. Sarah even has a poster of David Bowie hanging in her room, so I guess there's sort of a dark idea of meeting your idol and feeling a bit creeped out by them.
Happy to see this one. Curious if you've ever seen Time Bandits. Taika Waititi is trying to remake and I rewatched it recently. It seems like a weird mostly forgotten movie that people just don't talk much about.
@@DistractedNerd It's got sort of a Legend, The Gate, dark Monty Python-ish feel to it with Sean Connery, John Cleese back when he was fully headed and a bunch of little people running around in a Baron Munchausen fever dream. You can't go wrong it's well worth a look.
Oh Man it's Great to see you tackle a Movie I'm so familiar with. They Should have Given David Bowie's Junk an Acting Credit. also How Incredible is it that Some Hippies who did Puppetry got so Popular that they Got to do a Movie with David Bowie. I also don't know if the Goblin King is really a Bad Guy in this. I mean as He Mentions He only Did what Sarah Asked him to do. I think that something Similar probably happened to Jerith. Someone probably failed to Rescue Him so He ended up becoming the Goblin King.
Somehow I’ve never seen this movie and I was born in 1983. Can anyone tell me if this was just on HBO or something like that? Theoretically my parents could have rented it on VHS but this is definitely a timeless classic that I have zero understanding of.
At 6:12 the red and blue doors pre-dates the matrix with the red and blue pill analogy and it even the Pepsi and coke challenge was influenced by movies like this.
As a young girl…the deeply rooted trauma for me was the bulge. Seriously. Felt like getting sexually molested. Perhaps it didn’t bother the young boys at all, since having the same parts meant nothing new or unusual for you. Definitely probably didn’t upset the older gal crowd, especially if they were Bowie fans. I guess the directors of the film wanted to do a little real-time enticing with that theme of sexual maturity? Its a bit perverted, but I give it a pass…. I’m older now…lol. 😉 Seriously tho, what were they thinking? It’s a family movie and this was camel toe for guys, 3 decades before camel toe was even a thing.
Regarding the blue & red twin doors where one always tells the truth and one always lies or that one door leads to the city and one leads to certain doom, I always thought the solution was simple. Ask them both what color her shirt is, and boom problem solved; ignore whoever lies and ask the truthful one which door goes to the city. Right?
I've been watching this movie all my life, truly it's one of my favorites; but one of the things that's always driven me crazy about this movie is how absolutely fucking uncomfortable Jennifer Connelly's Sara's bed is in her room @ the beginning. It looks like she's flopping around on a table w/ bedding thrown over it.
the story is actually about a girl that was stuck watching her baby brother and didn’t want to. she wasn’t watching him and he died , her guilt drives her to disconnect and she attempts suicide then go s into a coma she finally wakes up and everyone loves her and is glad she is alive bit death and her friends in the underground are always there … should she need them
The crotch, just dear lawd the the crotch in this movie! 😂 I love this movie but you can’t convince me Bowie wasn’t just acting as himself and Jarith was really just what they dubbed David Bowies bulge.
What, were you in the pisser during the trash lady scene?? Were you microwaving a hot pocket during the peach dream sequence? some deep psychological subtext was exhibited when the pizza man got to your house, apparently. Overall, i'm a fan of your work, i suppose I get avoiding the scene where David Bowie exhibits his character's desire to seduce an under age girl...lotta weeds to swim through down that rabbit hole...
I needed a break from Steven Seagal
Something every one of his wives has thought
Even god took a day off, right? I think you deserve it more!
You have officially entered the Mordor of his career. It is gonna be pretty bleak from here on out.
you wore down Steven Seagal, he's a broken man now
I can NEVER get enough of Steven Seagal's aerodynamics 😂
Fun fact: The owl scenes weren't a special effect, David Bowie was able to turn into an owl and they incorporated it into the movie.
That's true he even did it in the Venture Bros when he was a cartoon leader of a secret evil organization.
Fun fact: Bowie actually made the baby sound in "You Remind Me of the Babe" right after the "and baby said..." line.
The 1980’s absolutely nailed the fantasy genre in film. The Dark Crystal, Willow, Conan, The Never Ending Story and of course Beast Master
Legend too.
LadyHawke, Return to Oz, the Adventures of Mark Twain (RIP Will Vinton), even the Black Cauldron too
I absolutely ADORED this movie when I was growing up.
Me too!! Fav of all time to this day!
Crazy how puppeteering pretty much died out with Jim Henson.

The funniest part of your comment was how you said "fake" lore... 😂
Yes. Bowie and nerd. Two of my favorite and therefore the best and most influential of their time.

I haven't seen it but I've always wanted to. I love 12 Monkeys though

@@DistractedNerd don’t touch it Distracted Nerd. It’s Evil!
You definitely won’t get this reference
I'm today years old when I realized that labyrinth and Pan's labyrinth are different movies 😂
Oh, fuck yeah!
One of my most favourite movies ❤
"You have no power over me..." I think George and Jim were copying Wes' homework on that concept for dealing with the villain.
You NEED to do The Return to OZ.
My two bullies were named Bobby,and Darrell.
Unbeknownst to most, David Bowie’s favorite word was unbeknownst. Definitely 100% true. No need to look it up.
7:21 LOL!!! The censorship blur!!!!

It's a matter of public record that NOBODY on planet earth has an understanding of this movie. 😂
Fuck yes 👍
God I love your comedy Literally, this is the first video I've ever watched of yours. And you made me fall in love by just your puns😂😂😂

Thank you. Well be here, SHOULD YA NEED US., YAE. SHOULD YA NEED US. HAHAHAHA
Now you know about the hand it's not the same lol

In the original problem you could only ask a single question though.
This is like a cleaned up brother s grimm
MGMT Kids baby vs Labyrinth baby.
Which had more trauma inflicted on it?
Fun fact, the puppets were manipulating the puppeteers and crew.
Please consider doing Freeway starring Reese Witherspoon and Keifer Sutherland.

Dance magic dance jumps into my head at least once daily…I may have issues

Warwick Davis is in this film.
Holy hell! He IS in this movie. I'm gonna fire my research department
This is what happens during detoxing opiates
You're so funny love it
UMMMM, excuse me, Sir, but Magic Dance was a brilliant song!!!
We're just gonna have to agree to disagree on that one
@@DistractedNerd fair enough, but just know that you are wrong!!!
