Feb 2 2006Dark Crystal Sequel In The Works
The Jim Henson Company has announced that Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Samurai Jack and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, will direct a sequel to the 1982 fantasy puppet film, The Dark Crystal. The second chapter, titled Power of the Dark Crystal, will take place hundreds of years after the original, following a mysterious girl made of fire who steals a shard of the crystal, hoping to use it to re-ignite the dying sun. I don't know how they're planning on showing this film takes place hundreds of years after the first, but I'd recommend talking to Keith Richards, who's done a stellar job of appearing hundreds of years older.
But you know who's not looking older? That hot female Muppet from the first Dark Crystal. She's still looking like Gwyneth Paltrow hybrid with a cat, which it turns out is exactly what I go for.

I just watched Labyrinth recently. When I was a kid I didn't really notice but Bowie's balls are featured quite prominently in that movie (he wears an egregious amount of spandex). Let us hope that they don't do a remake of Labyrinth because Bowie's balls are probably not as spry as they used to be.
