    I think by the time the sequel came out, I was too old for it, so I never saw it.

    Very creepy. I still like it. The Skeksis were badass. The Garthim were beyond cool.

    Gelflings SUCK!

    How about Bowie: "Slap that Baby! Make it SCREAM!"

    (it's even more offputting in type than listening to him sing it...)

    I only saw each of them once, but I'm going to cast a strong vote for DEEP SCAR. Very disturbing.

    Jim Henson Rocked!!!!

    Viva Le Muppets!!!

    Anyone else think The Muppet Movie was the best? The Great Muppet Caper kicked ass too, but when they took Manhattan, I got annoyed for some reason.

    I've been NetFlix'ing the old Muppet Show episodes on DVD and find them just as entertaining now, if not more so, now that I get all the jokes. I really dig the Swedish Chef.

    I still cry when the horse drowns in the mud. Every damn time. Artec? Aztec? And the mud is the Swamps of Sadness? Swamps of Sorrows?
