My mom and I went to see a showing of The Dark Crystal at a local theater today. Although I'd already seen the film once, I had forgotten a lot of important details about the plot so I had been wanting to see it again anyway but seeing it on the big screen was absolutely amazing. There also a bonus introduction by Jim Henson's daughter, Lisa Henson at the beginning that showed just how much blood, sweat, and tears went into making the world of The Dark Crystal. We were even able to get special seats that function like recliners and were extremely comfortable. The one problem however was something I hadn't thought of beforehand. I believe I've mentioned in other threads that the character Fizzgig has a tendency to crack me up due to it's unusual, outlandish Muppet design. I can barely even look at the thing without laughing like a hyena so as you would expect........it was kinda hard not to burst out laughter at the theater whenever that damn character showed up. It would be one thing if he was the comic relief or something like that but because Fizzgig isn't supposed to be comedic in the first place, I would've looked like a fucking maniac if I just started laughing at that thing for no reason. But thankfully........I was able to hold it together just fine and enjoy the movie without making myself look like Beavis and Butt-Head after hearing the name of Lake Titicaca.
