I'm Going To Have Nightmares

Russell and I just watched The Dark Crystal. I am already scared of Muppets. Everything about them and their Muppet ways makes me feel uneasy. This movie was absolutely terrifying. Jim Henson is a total creep. How on earth did Russell and his siblings watch this as young children? Be warned. If you stumble across this film, know that its freaky bizarreness is not for the fainthearted. That is all.

Aubrey Aubrey Aubrey Aubrey Aubrey, You cannot use the Dark Crystal to judge Jim Henson and his Muppets. I've never seen it, but I've seen other muppet movies and shows - and they're my favorite things on earth!!! So watch a good one, I'll even watch it with you. :) Movie Night!!!

What? You're having nightmares?! It's not like they are mechanical sharks with weird, fake eyes....or talking dolls hiding knives behind their backs...or whiny vampire wannabes, or even self-centered vampires themselves. They are soft, large-eyed stuffed animals!! It's a classic however so I think you should find one thing good about it...come on...you can do it!!

I will never watch a muppet movie. Ew ew ew ew ew! They are gross and totally UNcool. I'd rather pretend to be a Prince of Persia and get skewered by spikes as I run frantically from sword-bearing sultans.

Hilarious! I went to a RS birthday party yesterday and everyone was to bring a white elephant gift. Someone brought a VHS of the Dark Crystal and all these people were like, "Best movie ever." I was pretty sure that I had seen it, and pretty sure that I had nightmares! Hope you slept alright last night!!

Ha ha, Matt and I make the "mmmmMMMMmmmmmmm!" sound of that sneaky Skeksi all the time. (Here is a youtube clip of it if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdki7_EQX0 )
