I loved Labyrinth too. (It scared the hell out of me when I first saw it as a kid - which was probably part of the charm.)

I was just old enough not to be too scared of it. David Bowie singing 'Jump Magic Jump' is class and I can't wait to see it again.

The Dark Crystal terrified me though!

Yes, I had to read him earlier this year and I remember marveling at his mastery over the short-essay form. I should finish "Mythologies" this summer. Maybe it's one of the books I won't take notes on, and just enjoy the ride, so to speak.

I love "Mythologies". It's been a huge influence on how I look at culure.
