you're all my witnesses
Dec. 26th, 2018 05:43 pmSo, there's going to be a Dark Crystal TV series, apparently.
My feelings on this are... mixed but largely detached, because I am a very strange geek-child of the 1980s in that while I have extremely strong feelings of love for Labyrinth and a number of other Jim Henson-related properties, I... don't actually like The Dark Crystal. I found it too scary when I was a child (I was a huge weenie when I was little), and when I tried to watch it again as an adult it somehow hit all my embarrassment squick buttons and I had to turn it off. I think it was mostly that the gelf were too twee and that they were puppets. I don't even know. I found the whole thing very uncomfortable and never looked back.
I do, however, have some bets to lay down right here on this timestamped DW entry, based on nothing other than some familiar names on the cast list and the complete lack of creativity on the part of casting directors.
( You're all my witnesses to this non-monetary actor-related bet. )
