Hey Alice...

[Beefy]

Happy Sunday.

I know this isn't for me, but do you have a non-registration article?

Nope.  I'll see what I can find, though.

I'm not so sure that a sequel wouldn't be just another way for some company to rape my childhood.  The original was great, but it was the product of a collaboration that can no longer exist.

[Gamplayerx]

Thanks!

I should watch the original Dark Crystal again.  I only saw it once and I was a bit altered at the time.  All I remember is the tall scary things.

. . . Jim [Henson] emphatically did not want a sequel to The Dark Crystal by his or any other hand. He felt very strongly about that.

I was excited til I read that quote by Jim Henson.  Now I'm so torn. 

But seriously, this world needs more puppet movies.  And the Dark Crystal was incredible.  And it's puppets.  Fuck it, I'm so excited.

Thanks for posting this Beef.

No no no no.

Definitely no.

That movie CAN'T have a sequel.

Simply cannot.

Think of some other plots, puppet people!

[ignom]

I've never seen Dark Crystal.

[Alice]

No no no no.

Definitely no.

That movie CAN'T have a sequel.

Simply cannot.

But Youph... it's PUPPETS.

[Bennyhana]

The article says CGI and animatronics...not so much with the "Puppets" as Jim Henson knew them.  So I'm definitely against it.

Yeah, I know, but it's The Dark Crystal!  Why don't they just name it "The Darker Crystal" then "The Darkest Crystal" and then we can end it with "The Dark Crystal: EXTREME"

Jim Henson used animatronics often.  But yeah, the CGI sucks.

Now I'm not so excited.  Thanks Ben.

Now I'm not so excited.  Thanks Ben.

Anytime you need your hopes and dreams crushed, I'm your guy.

Awwww, you're so sweet to me.

You want puppets?  Go see Meet the Feebles.

[Alice]

You want puppets?  Go see Meet the Feebles.

I own it.  Watched it last week after people were talking about it.

Weak.  One is all there should be.

which will be followed up with an animated series as well as interactive games and other media

Let it rest as a classic, you bastards.

My brother's oldest daughter looks like the girl puppet.  Her ears stick through her hair like that and everything.
