Haha, I remember seeing that movie in a Sci-fi/Fantasy class at school (Our teacher convinced the school to add it to the curriculum by saying it was an English class. Really it was just an excuse to sit around and watch movies and play RPGs)

I loved the part where one of the mystics vanishes and the rest just kind of shrug and keep walking.

loved the movie - btw a sequel called the Power of the Dark Crystal is due to be made shortly.

Where'd you hear that? I'd love to see a sequel. Actually, I'd love to see the original again, it's been forever.

I'm fortunate enough to own the original on DVD now (v. interesting making of included btw)

As for the sequel - still in an early planning stage really but planned for a 2007 release.

Thanks for the info! Did you get the dvd at a regular commercial seller? I was thinking of checkin ebay for it but was afraid they'd only have vhs available.

Re: The dark crystal

You should be able to buy it on DVD relatively cheaply these days - fingers crossed!

Re: The Dark Crystal

I loved this movie as a little kid, it was one of my faves that I watched about once a month along with The Neverending Story and The Labyrinth. When Fizzgig scares Jen into the pond I always used to crack up for some reason. I hate when the Garthim kill the striders, it used to be rather upsetting. I always liked the Lord Chamberlin of the skesies and that witch lady too. I bought it on DVD last year at Big W in Australia.

Sounds as if I need to get a copy of Dark Crystal. I have never seen it
