Man oh man. I do love me some David Bowie. I love him in all his manifestations - Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke - but I love him the most as Jareth, The Goblin King in Labyrinth. This man fostered some freaky preadolescent fantasies, let me tell you. This is one of my favourite childhood movies. I mean, look at the combination - David Bowie and Jim Henson? Hello? My hyperactive imagination went into light speed overdrive with this movie. I loved Hoggle, even though he went around fumigating fairies, and who can forget The Bog of Eternal Stench. But above all this is Bowie, dancing around in tights and tossing baby Toby into the air. Then there's the scene when he tells Sarah "Just let me rule you. Fear me, love me, do what I say and I will be your slave." Stupid girl choses the baby. I mean, the only thing better than being David Bowie's love slave would be if he cloned himself. Two David Bowies. With that voice. In spandex. Oh my. Now I REALLY need to go lie down...

When I got older,as a teenager I started liking meh Stephen King and Horror movies.
And as for Trinis allyuh eh know about diversity? How allyuh mean allyuh never eat white meat? Geez!
Well Saucy, I was an only child for about seven years. I used to read like a beast! But that's why I love this movie - it was like a punk rock Grimm's fairy tale. Hmmm... I do love me some rock. When sweettrini invite meh to she next Labyrinth lime (hint, hint) I will ask she for you to come along. Yuh could squeeze meh hand when yuh frighten! But not too hard eh...
Alright, doh forget the invite eh!

Dolli, I eh have no problem with diversification. I just never get around to it. Ah nibble, but I eh eat yet ;)
All yuh too funny :)......... doh worry we go have a movie marathon and real mash up. Bring Saucy and come through......ah thinkin' start off with a little Goonies, fall into a Labrinyth, tell a little Neverending Story and end up with MJ's Thriller video - my brother and I watched that one about 50 times...."for no immortal can resist, the evil of ......the THRILLER!!! Ah hahahahaha, AHHH hahahahaha"" Oh gorm, I have too much time on meh hands yes. But wait nuh, who cookin for dis lime??
Sweettrini, I could cook but everybody go hadda shake dey hand. But wait, I thought we ordering "strimps" roti and ginger shandy?!
