XxmagentaxX Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Everyone remember this Jim Henson classic... starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly? I used to watch it all the time when i was younger, cuz it was always on Disney Channel. Then about a year ago I found it at Suncoast, and about a week ago became totally obsessed with it. I found the soudtrack and I've watched the movie about 3 times in the past week.... Yea Im a tad odd....:p Just wondering if anyone else remembered it, and either loved or hated it...

Semjaza Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I love it to death. It's a prerequisite if you're a Bowie fan really. I know all the songs by heart and all of the little poems in the film, that's how lame I am. They just released a Superbit version of the DVD with remastered picture and sound rather recently. I want to get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 I know all the songs by heart too! Underground has to be one of my favorite songs! "Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave..." "Hallo" "Did you just say hello?" "No, I said Hallo, but thats close enough."

Sara Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 [size=1]Heh, my friend Heather and I love this movie. It's great--sort of a cult thing, really, but great nonetheless. "You remind of the the babe--" "What babe?" "The babe with the power--" "What power?" "The power of voodoo--" "Who do?" "You do--" "What?" "Remind me of the babe." Heheh. I love the little fox-dude, too, what's his name? Sir...Didymus, or something? The "Firies," though, or whatever they are, are just freaky.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mei Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 [color=green]Oh I LOVED that movie. I had almost forgotten about it, it's been so long since I've seen it.^^() It was such a wonderful movie...the only thing I didn't like in it was the pit of hands on the wall.Oo Don't know why, it just disturbed me.^^() I think I may have had a crush on Jareth the Goblin King...yet I've no idea why. Maybe it was his hair...I liked his hair ever so much...o.o() Now I am inspired to rent this movie, and see it once more!^^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 The dog guy that rides the other shaggy dog is Sir Didymus, so you're right. The guy peeing in the pond and killing fairies was Hoggle. I bought the soundtrack to this, since I love the movie and David Bowie is one of my favorite musicians... I was really bothered by Magic Dance. It's not the same as in the movie, and it has these weird differences. The main one being that they got rid of Toby's voice in it and replaced it with these stupid goofy baby laugh samples. The kind you hear in every stupid commercial that really don't sound like any baby you've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 [color=#707875]Hm, the memories come flooding back. ~_^ I saw this movie a few times years ago, and my opinion on it is mixed. I guess that I never really fell in love with it, because even as a kid, I kind of saw it as being too camp and silly. But on the other hand, I certainly never hated it or anything. I'm not a David Bowie fan at all, but I don't think that fact alone changed my opinion of the movie. Though if you are a fan, I can see why it'd raise the movie's profile. ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 I noticed how Magic Dance was changed on the soudtrack too... it sounded so stupid. They should have just left it. Yea I kinda have a crush on Jareth too... It's kind of a mix betweek his hair, his chothes and incredibly revealing pants! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
