The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Netflix series.

I loved the movie as a kid, along with other ones like it like the Never Ending Story and Labyrinth. Wonder if they can keep that wonder with a full fledged TV show.

If they take their writing seriously, this could be good.  I liked the graphic novels that they've done in recent years.

Bringing Skeksis back.  Hope they do it better than that Timberlake fellow.

Alas poor Photobucket. I knew him Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

I retain a VHS tape and player because of fond memories of watching this over and over as a kid.

Attempted to rewatch "The Dark Crystal" not too long ago - maybe wasn't quite in the right headspace, but couldn't get into it. I look forward to this series, though.

I could swear I had the original movie on DVD, but when I looked after seeing this thread, I couldn't find it...will have to look again...

Had it on VHS along with Labyrinth and Princess Bride. Now have all three on DVD. Next I guess will be updating them all to Blu Ray

Inconceivable!  ^-^

I have both Labyrinth and Princess Bride on DVD, will have to get the Dark Crystal.
Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Always remember that your weapon was built by the lowest bidder.
