    Storyteller DVD Collection

    Since I'm the the reviewer in question, yes, I'm aware that Greek Storyteller is not available on DVD (and yeah, I do consider that a different entity above the original Storyteller series -- even the narrator is different). I'd bet that if The Storyteller DVD sells well, the Greek shows will...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    Pino, I think it was announced elsewhere on the board that a Region 2 Dark Crystal was on its way.

    Dark Crystal Figures - 1982 Hasbro

    Habidabad: I posted this in the Crystal Corner group a few weeks ago, but the guy who made that Skeksis has a website with more pictures: http://www.geocities.com/rufustein/portfolio There was a thread at the Palisades board where Ken (I think?) said that Palisades was offered the Dark...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    And how! I think the Dark Crystal score is one of the best fantasy scores ever. I just grabbed Excalibur on DVD, and while its soundtrack is a close second to Dark Crystal, I like it more than Labyrinth. Frankly, Habidabad, your participation, knowledge, and your collection of stuff would...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    That's depressing. I hope they use a clean print at the very least.

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    Lucas is still not eligible for commentary, not any more than he was eligible for Lord of the Rings. Kurtz, on the other, certainly is, If Henson Co. has forgotten about other related footage, perhaps you politely should remind them. Because I think a lot of Dark Crystal fans are going to...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    George Lucas worked on Labyrinth, not Dark Crystal. Besides, Lucas gives AWFUL commentaries, even on films he made. A Froud/Kurtz/Oz commentary would be great.

    BBC article on Sesame Street: "Is Elmo Bush's secret weapon?"

    Because, as that article points out, this program in particular (Sesame Street) can be used as propaganda. Apparently, the US Army is donating money to Children's Television Workshop. That's sort of ironic, seeing how the government cut off most of PBS's federal funding a few years ago...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    Exactly. Hopefully it's packed with great stuff. I know some people/reviewers were really critical of both the standard DVD and the superbit. There were lots of complaints about scratches and such. Frankly, I love the standard DVD package -- it was the best presentation of the film since its...

    Dark Crystal Collector's Edition DVD Box Set

    Holy cow! That's great news, if a little baffling.

    Storyteller DVD

    First of all, I LOVE this DVD! It's incredible to see these again. I've watched this DVD five times ... I even brought it to my mom's house over the holiday, and she's looking for it now. Yes, half of the episodes look fuzzy, but you know, I think that's how they were filmed/taped. Because...

    BBC article on Sesame Street: "Is Elmo Bush's secret weapon?"

    If the bit about using the Sesame Street theme as a torture method is true, then I guess Evil Bert has taken charge of the US military? (*edit* yes, it appears to be true. The story was first published overseas in May. They used "Barney" songs, too.) That's really disgusting. In a perfect...

    Dark Crystal?! Freaky?!

    Hee hee ... :o Like I said, my views on Labyrinth have softened over the years. I do appreciate the effort that went into it; I also dig some of the visual stylings. But I still think Dark Crystal was the product of a much bigger, more mature, more unique vision than Labyrinth. As...

    New Henson Region 2 DVD's coming this November

    Uh ... OK. So is that rumored box set kinda like the previously-released Dark Crystal/Labyrinth two-pack DVD set ... only with a really big fancy box around the DVDs? Maybe it collects the superbits? I'm confused. EDIT Never mind ... I guess this is all about Region 2 DVDs. I didn't click...
