“Jareth definitely appears to be a symbolic incarnation of Sarah’s mother’s boyfriend. I believe he represents what the boyfriend did to her family, rather than a specific act against Sarah personally.” So saith Jen Gagne, a devoted fan. Her thoughts follow…Continue reading Alternative theory for Jareth / Sarah’s boyfriend

Info about body comparisons and measurements as presented by the artist who’s doing LEs of Bermann. It’s fun to read her posts because she really, really loves what she’s doing. 😀

Mess around with outfits and accessories on paper dolls mostly in the form of stylized female celebrities.

FUN!

Today, for your reading pleasure, I translated a Dutch article where Jim Henson talks about working with the puppets of Labyrinth. Cool stuff.

So I have this idea that Sarah’s mom’s boyfriend sexually abused her, and that explains Jareth. “Whaaaat?” you say. Well, read this, and THEN say you don’t believe me.

You can see the minuscule ones [maybe 5″ tall??] in this picture, along with the Virgin Mary statue, also known, strangely enough, as “Mother SD.” The Virgin Mary generates SDs?! Does Catholicism know about this? :p Continue reading Volks has plans for a whole bunch’a’ dolls.

I pulled this review of Labyrinth from The Rough Guide to Kids’ Movies (Dorling Kindersley, 2004) by Paul Simpson: “Jim Henson was so fed up with the comparative financial failure of Dark Crystal that he decided to make a film combining puppets with real actors. ‘Nasty and funny puppets work well,’ he decided, ‘but straightforward heros and heroines don’t.’ So, in this film, Sarah is given thirteen hours by Jareth (David Bowie), king of the goblins, to negotiate a giant labyrinth and win back her grizzling brother. Kids will be amused by the goblins, the clumsy dwarf and by the sugar plum fairies — grown-ups, as the Radio Times noted, might get more fun out of David Bowie’s Tina Turner wig. Ten minutes too long, and with a narrative that doesn’t quite match the special effects, this isn’t quite the tour de force it could have been. Maybe they should have kept a few more ideas from Terry Jones’s original script.” I agree!

Check out this interview for insights into Jareth and just how much of a hand David Bowie had in the film. There’s also a droolworthy piece of broody Jareth. Thank you, Solea, for all your loans of ephemera.

Sorry ’bout the hiatus, folks. Getting married’ll do that to ya. :p 😀 Now that I’m back, please check out the pictures of the collector’s DVD [including conceptual sketches!], details on the ultra-rare Labyrinth game and…as the crowning touch…NAPKINS! Yes, you too could blow your nose on Jareth….. “Well?! Laugh!” I certainly did…. [Thank you to Solea, who checks this site religiously, for all the memorabilia she lets me photo! And for checking this site religiously. At least SOMEBODY visits! :p]

Thanks to Solea for letting me scan this Dutch article, which has an overview of the film and some rare pix of Jennifer Connelly doing something ELSE besides the “Duh Pose.” Poor Jennifer Connelly. The script gave her a lot of whiny and/or staring moments: not a lot to work with. [Although her mouth DOES hang open in all her other films, so… :p]

I think the title says it all. I translated this rare French curiosity and laughed at the hyperbole. “Labyrinth isn’t a dream in the strictest sense, but a dream come true!” Yeah, right. Cut down on the LSD, man.

All the docu stills [thanks, Stacy!] are now accessible. Now you can finally see what comments I added to each…

Check Heather D.’s fan art. Oh yeah, and I made it so you can actually get to the French interview with Jim Henson that I spent millions of years transcribing. Enjoy! I particularly like the fact that he admits David Bowie was chosen for SEX APPEAL. [Which still doesn’t explain why the movie is rated PG, given the appearance of DB’s bulge…]

Oooh, check this out! Plan-B Toys is thinking of doing resin statues of Labyrinth creatures. No Jareth and Sarah, though…they don’t have the license. Guess you’ll have to buy my custom dolls instead. 😉

Elfin Jareth and swooning Sarah appear in Eleanor Jacksson’s latest creation, “Jareth and Sarah: Dreams.” Ah, romance!

See…TOLDJA I’d update. :p Eleanor Jacksson did some neato fan art for me.

Now you can easily track updates on your favorite site. Check the Blog of Eternal Stench. [I’m so funny! ‘…Well?! Laugh?’]

Not only do you get to find out what happened when here, you can also interact more directly with me than through that bleeping gbook [note to self: delete that sucker and create one on own server]. You can make comments on my updates. Looking forward to hearing from you…

It’s about time. You can buy it, but I don’t recommend it.

Translated from French by yours truly. Is Sarah really a brat? Is Jareth really sexy as hell? Read the director’s opinion.

The collector’s DVD is out, and it’s not worth your money.

Did some new romantic fan art in quite a moody, broody, Gothy style, if I do say so myself.
