Labrynth

Post by _Kevin Graham »

I'm watching this for the first time ever with my 4 year old and I can tell it is already going to be his favorite movie. I'm not sure how I lived so long without seeing this, as I was always a big fan of Jennifer Connolly.

Also, "Slap that baby, make him free!"

And then, after you finish the movie, read #2 on this article here:

Fun fact: I believe the working title of this movie was - "David Bowie's codpiece"

It's just explaining the main theme of the story which people sometimes miss.

Here's a video of David Bowie doing an interview coked out of his mind:

The things I mentioned don't ruin the movie for me, they only make me love it more.

What is the Bog of Eternal Stench a metaphor for?

I enjoy Labyrinth and have the anniversary edition, for when I want to rewatch it (might be years, at the rate I watch anything at all).
