Since I'm the the reviewer in question, yes, I'm aware that Greek Storyteller is not available on DVD (and yeah, I do consider that a different entity above the original Storyteller series -- even the narrator is different). I'd bet that if The Storyteller DVD sells well, the Greek shows will...

Pino, I think it was announced elsewhere on the board that a Region 2 Dark Crystal was on its way.

Habidabad: I posted this in the Crystal Corner group a few weeks ago, but the guy who made that Skeksis has a website with more pictures: http://www.geocities.com/rufustein/portfolio There was a thread at the Palisades board where Ken (I think?) said that Palisades was offered the Dark...

And how! I think the Dark Crystal score is one of the best fantasy scores ever. I just grabbed Excalibur on DVD, and while its soundtrack is a close second to Dark Crystal, I like it more than Labyrinth. Frankly, Habidabad, your participation, knowledge, and your collection of stuff would...

That's depressing. I hope they use a clean print at the very least.

Lucas is still not eligible for commentary, not any more than he was eligible for Lord of the Rings. Kurtz, on the other, certainly is, If Henson Co. has forgotten about other related footage, perhaps you politely should remind them. Because I think a lot of Dark Crystal fans are going to...

George Lucas worked on Labyrinth, not Dark Crystal. Besides, Lucas gives AWFUL commentaries, even on films he made. A Froud/Kurtz/Oz commentary would be great.

Because, as that article points out, this program in particular (Sesame Street) can be used as propaganda. Apparently, the US Army is donating money to Children's Television Workshop. That's sort of ironic, seeing how the government cut off most of PBS's federal funding a few years ago...

Exactly. Hopefully it's packed with great stuff. I know some people/reviewers were really critical of both the standard DVD and the superbit. There were lots of complaints about scratches and such. Frankly, I love the standard DVD package -- it was the best presentation of the film since its...

Holy cow! That's great news, if a little baffling.

First of all, I LOVE this DVD! It's incredible to see these again. I've watched this DVD five times ... I even brought it to my mom's house over the holiday, and she's looking for it now. Yes, half of the episodes look fuzzy, but you know, I think that's how they were filmed/taped. Because...

If the bit about using the Sesame Street theme as a torture method is true, then I guess Evil Bert has taken charge of the US military? (*edit* yes, it appears to be true. The story was first published overseas in May. They used "Barney" songs, too.) That's really disgusting. In a perfect...

More new stuff in the ARTICLES section: An essay on the Skeksis Cynic: http://gelflingcollege.com/treason/index.html And a tabloid article on a "podling gone bad" named Starbright Boggins: http://gelflingcollege.com/boggins/index.html

Hee hee ... :o Like I said, my views on Labyrinth have softened over the years. I do appreciate the effort that went into it; I also dig some of the visual stylings. But I still think Dark Crystal was the product of a much bigger, more mature, more unique vision than Labyrinth. As...

Uh ... OK. So is that rumored box set kinda like the previously-released Dark Crystal/Labyrinth two-pack DVD set ... only with a really big fancy box around the DVDs? Maybe it collects the superbits? I'm confused. EDIT Never mind ... I guess this is all about Region 2 DVDs. I didn't click...

Yet another update, another gelfling doll, and another magazine parody: http://gelflingcollege.com/rollingcrystal/index.html

I adored Dark Crystal when I was a kid. The film was a perfect blend of dark subject matter and simple storytelling. Best of all: the film didn't feel like it was talking down to me (as a child). I hated Labyrinth when I first saw it. The film fell into every "kiddie movie" trap that Dark...

Gelfling Quarterly Magazine Well, the first Gelfling College newsletter is out, and the first sticker giveaway is over. Never fear, there's another giveaway slated for September. The big story in the newsletter is: Professor Zeytoc was named Gelfling of the Year by Gelfling Quarterly...

I think it's only available online. I don't believe it's being offered in stores at all. http://www.buysoundtrax.com/dark_crystal.html

Actually Harry, I didn't think you were trying to start a fight. My post was as much to you as it was the Trekkie. It was just a general reminder: Muppets are punk rock. And so is Pac Man, evidentially, because at Hot Topic I saw the most incredible pair of bright blue Pac Man wrist "sweat...
