The FORTRESS of SOLITUDE

"So morbid...a sentimental replica of a planet long since vanished..."

Okay, so I'm trawling the internet at work because I'm so fucking scary amazing at my job that I gotta actually surf the net just to make my coworkers look competent. You know how it is.

In any event, I'm looking around movie sites and noticed that... ...are you ready?

...they're creating a SEQUEL to the GREATEST. MUPPET. FILM. EVER. MADE. PERIOD.

THE POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL
The Dark Crystal II

I know, I know. I'm so fucking stoked to see this potential masterpiece sequel to a bonafide masterpiece. Usually, I'm very unmoved by news of sequels unless it's for Star Trek films or James Bond films...but The Dark Crystal is one of my favourite films of all time and in my humble and correct opinion, one of the greatest cinematic achievements to occur in my lifetime (and believe me, there haven't been many - especially in the last 15 years).

It is a beautiful masterpiece of puppetry, story-telling and cinematrography and an incredible example of why Jim Henson was one of the most ingenious, clever and overlooked filmmakers to ever grace a darkened theatre screen.

The sequel could be very interesting. The only image released thus far is this one:

...of "Queen Kira," an aged version of the female lead from the original film, seen here:

Complaints are already pouring in that the new version is 'ugly' but frankly, it falls in line with the ghostly images of the urSkeks seen at the end of the original film, so screw those douchebags.

Exciting news! :)

Ta,
S.
