the destination may change because of the journey

That's true.  I'm re-reading The Great Hunt and it's funny how many times the destination they're going to changes.  SO many different things change as Rand, Mat, and Perrin keep growing and becoming more ta'veren.

No lesson can be educational and entertaining without conflict of some sort.

Excellent point!  I always fantasized about how The Little Mermaid would have gone if she'd listened to her father and stopped thinking about the human world.  Probably be a very boring movie.  *lol*

Unfortunately, it's not on Netflix.  :(   You may be able to rent it on Amazon Prime or Hulu or Vudu.

junk lady, apparently i hoard and have trouble keeping my hands to myself?

If you want to try again, go ahead!  But just in case, here's your siggy!

Going on now in Tar Valon, we are talking about the movie Labyrinth (starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly).  We have games, discussions, and character quizzes!  Come play and have fun with us!

Darth Vader?

Can I guess again?

I was 17 when this came out...so I felt very drawn to Sarah then. When you are teenager everything is unfair!

*lol*  I was 3. But I remember watching it a lot as a kid.

Just now, Rhea said:

Right! There are a lot of powerful mesages in this movie.

 

Things are not always what they seem.

Give people a chance.

What do you do when things are not fair.

Sometimes all you need to do is ask.

Yes!  

Though I’m afraid I got a different message as a child.  I totally gravitated toward a handsome villain willing to give the woman he loves powers.  Not the best mindset growing up.  

Kinda damaging for my early relationships.  Lol!  Luckily I grew out of it.

And I adore Jennifer Connelly.  She’s amazing!

I suppose it’s the same as Snape.  He’s a terrible character, but Alan Rickman is the love of my life, so my feelings of devotion transfer to the character.

Davis Bowie is just cute and popular and charming, so I feel the same about Jareth.

"Fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave" 

Interesting. Sounds like bad wedding vows!

I am so torn!  Jareth as a character is so intriguing to me!  I mean, I love the message, “You have no power over me.”  Young girls need to believe that!  It’s a powerful message for them.  

But then why make Jareth so sexy and desirable?!?!?? Hahah. 

I love this song!  ❤️

My favorite scene is after she eats the peach!

He’s adorable!

I have a sudden desire to show this film to my 4th graders at school.  They love fart jokes!

Just now, Rhea said:

Chilly Down...

 

all of a sudden I thought I was watching Fraggle Rock!

This may be the creepiest part of the whole movie....

Here’s another one!  “Dance magic!”  

I have that story all ready to send to a publisher!  This is amazing how much inspiration I’ve taken from this film.

“Come inside and meet the missus.”

LOL

The worm guy is so cute!  I love his scarf!  I want to make a costume of him for my dog to wear for Halloween!

Sarah's room looks a lot like mine when Iwas her age!

I love her room!

Wait, wiat, wait..

 

The goblin says "that's not right, it doesn't even start with I wish." But then afer Sarah says that she wishes she knew the right words to say for the goblins to take Toby away the goblin says the words are "I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now". 

 

Hmmm...

Sarah first says,  “Goblin King, wherever you may be, take this child of mine far from me.”

Then the goblins say her phrase didn’t even start with “I wish,” meaning the one she said didn’t, but the one she’s suppose to say does.

Also, that was a great entrance by David Bowie!  *lol* 

And why would a goblin king take the form of snow owl?

I can trace a ton of my childhood fantasies to this movie!  And a lot of my desires to be a writer!

For example, I adore the idea of a faraway Goblin King falling in love with a young woman.  It’s a seed for at least four story ideas I’ve had.  Haha.  I guess it’s not super original, is it.

Hmmm.... Luke Skywalker?
