Ya this sounds like nothing but a W

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 42 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I always wanted to watch that as a kid .... but I also didn't which is why I've never seen it.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Well, you saved yourself some childhood trauma. Still a fun watch, but as an adult, you may want to "enhance" your experience by whichever preferred means.

Goddamn it fuck this movie so fucking much. I hated that I was forced to watch it so in my memories it’s even worse lol

[–] ProstheticBrain@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is from The Never Ending Story, Op's pic is from the Dark Crystal isn't it?

Or are you just adding this to the trauma pile?

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 7 months ago

You're correct on all counts.

What? We loved watching the movie as kids and for me it was a beautiful fairytale with some action. I never thought it was scary or anything.

Might be because in Germany fables tend to be on the more drastic side. I still think it's a great kids movie, on a similar level as The Last Unicorn or The Labyrinth for example.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The skeksis using the crystal on the gelflings was kinda fucked up. That being said, it's nowhere near as messed up as Return to Oz. Mombi and the Wheelers.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The one thing that broke me as a child when it comes to movies was Watership Down. Damn that thing should be 18+

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

I didn’t see the movie until I was an adult, but I read the book as a 9 year old and loved it. If anything it’s gorier than the movie!

[–] Doxatek@mander.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

For fucking real it was terrifying. I had it as well in my early childhood lmao

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

That movie was amazing. It was like a fever dream. Me and brother watched it at least a thousand times.

Dorrrothyyyy Gaaaallllllleee!

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

I think everyone owes it to themselves to experience it. One of my best friends waited until a couple years ago to finally see it. She was terrified, but still thinks Fizzgig is one of the most adorable things ever. Which he is. How can you not love this face?

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Possibly controversial opinion, but experiencing and processing fear, loss, sorrow, and other difficult feelings is a vital part of growing up. Obviously we should be doing everything in our power to prevent kids from experiencing actual trauma, but introducing them to things which are inherently safe but might take some time to process and reconcile (such as a kid's/family movie with some challenging scenes) is a good thing, of course within reason and while being respectful of their autonomy and consent

[–] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I loved this movie as a kid. It gave me horrible nightmares.

[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (4 children)
[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 9 points 7 months ago

Looks like "The Dark Crystal" I think.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago
[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

The Dark Crystal (I think)

[–] xpinchx@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah I saw this as a kid on TV. I think I was gone alone and it really freaked me out but I couldn't turn it off.

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

You made the Skeksis look like the good guys, how’d you even do that?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Would honestly love to sun my perineum. I don't see how that wouldn't feel pretty damn good. Not Exactly easy to find a venue to do that though.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

Outside is everywhere

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 months ago
[–] ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

It does, I used to do that sometimes by finding a window where the sun was shining direct, and just stretching out there in the nude. My current apartment doesn't get direct sun like that.

[–] Overzeetop@sopuli.xyz 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don’t you be doing Jen and Kira dirty like that.

All praise fizzgig

[–] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 11 points 7 months ago

I'm a simple man. I see Dark Crystal, I upvote
