Mishaps and Bubblewrap

Argh, this US Father's Day being on a different day from the Australian one is starting to confuzzle me.

 

Also, Labyrinth is awesome, no?

 

When is Australia's Father's Day? Sorry about the confusion!

 

It was pretty awesome! Some of those puppets were just crazy awesome (though seeming as Jim Henson was like a puppeteer genius, what else was I really expecting from him?), and I got a good laugh out of the early use of green screen and the animated owl in the opening credits, because it made me think about how back in the late 80s and early 90s that was so unbelievably high-tech, but nowadays, even amateur film makers are using green screen and doing animations that look really well-done.

 

Meanwhile, my friend sat next to me and went "OMGGG DAVID BOWIE IN LEATHERRRRR" while she ate popcorn. Yeah.

Due to my nitpicky nature, I'm going to go ahead and say that in that last sentence, it should be "me" rather than "I".

This random section is just because I can, as you all should know.

And, of course, I've never heard of the movie. Like you all expected me to.

Gah! Sorry. Didn't catch that one. Typing and moving stuff around in my room is not a good combo.

And for sheer randomness, I shall be putting this section in, because I can as well.

I had not heard of that movie as well, not until my friend was like "You haven't seen Labyrinth?! ZOMG, like what is wrong with you? Everyone's seen that movie!!1!"

-Nukaya

I hadn't either. Now I have, but I'll probably never watch it.

I thought some parts of Labyrinth were really creepy in a deep way. Then I read a write-up on the film that picked apart a bunch of mind-kontrol symbolism in it, and I was like, "Ohhh, right, that makes sense now!"

 

Yeah. Lots of MK and occult symbolism in Hollywood. And the music industry. And high fashion. It used to be less pervasive, more subtle, but now it's saturated and really in-your-face. If you know what to look for and what it means.
