It's my birthday, so let's do something I've been wanting to do forever...

Watching Labyrinth, in its entirety, and livetweeting it
This extremely obviously animated owl in the opening credits is killing me - but killer music already obviously
Is this.....larping?

Oh no its just rehearsing a play or reciting a book or something
I approve of this girl's practicality to wear jeans and boots under her dress for running through the rain
Hmmm....so these play elements in her room are definitely going to be part of her adventure aren't they
Sarah is So Dramatic omgggg

Like...I understand being frustrated....but also pls
This poor baby :<

Also uh yeah this going to turn out so well, isn't it
Peanut gallery goblins are having a time 😂

Magic phrases with the fey are so specific like that, aren't they
These camera angles and zoom-ins to show that something is wrong is making me laugh even though it's supposed to be a dramatic moment
Oh, hey Goblin King 👀👀👀👀

Casually menacing and charming and mysterious and a bit condescending all in one
"The labyrinth, it doesn't look that hard" she says, looking at a labyrinth that's solidly the size of a neighbourhood or town
This is just a movie of someone realizing that fairy tale fey are very different than like...folklore fey 😂
The prosthetic and puppet work is pretty impressive so far!

The more pop/rock music is throwing me off a bit but I'll get used to it 😂
This section of the labyrinth is supposed to look kinda grim and creepy (looking at you, eye stalk moss), but the trees look glittery which throws me off
Sarah giving up after doing the same thing for 30 minutes and not succeeding is a mood
For a girl who's super into magic and fey stuff, she REALLY was surprised by the idea of illusions and REALLY trusting of the fey denizens 😂
OH OK IT'S THE ONE SONG FROM THIS MOVIE I KNOW
These door folk just have big "one of us always lie and one of us always tells the truth" vibes
Lol just as I sent that the door people said that, I'm good at detecting this type of bs 😂
I Hate These Helping Hands So Much Why
After all this I don't trust this dude who is casually placed here to be conveniently helpful - and Sarah is finally getting the hang of that fact lol
Casual Ominous Statues being chastised for continually doing fake warnings 😂
I love fey trying to bullshit fey 😂

All of the loophole workings and being very careful and purposeful of the wording
There is really no such thing as being fair in this place lol 😂

Again, girl with a specific idea of fairytale stuff, having to deal with how mean actual fey are
The creature design in this is wild omg - this dude that has a humanoid head and a bird head

(been informed it's the same creature design as Dark Crystal and I definitely can see it)
I mean....Hoggle was honest and told you he was a coward beforehand, so....
Oh no I love Ludo
The expressiveness of the puppetry really gets me and sells everything! Again, just as impressed as I was with Dark Crystal
Sarah omg just casually forcing the door knocker to open its mouth 😂

She getting the hang of this whole fey thing now
Listen.....if the being that comes from this place is scared of an area, maybe you should be paying more attention
For a hot second I thought Jareth was wearing jeans and a leather jacket and I was like "huh, new look but fitting"
Listen, Jareth, I know you're supposed to be the Goblin King and all, but you're being an unnecessary dick rn
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what are these creatures

What is this song and shift in tone

Why is it suddenly so obviously greenscreened
WHY

WHAT IS HAPPENING

FLYING DECAPITATED HEADS???
This has strong "we like this song but we don't know how to fit it in so we'll just make this happen now"
Just yeet the heads, super casual, no worries
So the Bog of Eternal Stench is also the Bog of Eternal Farting Noises
This bridge keeper is just So Much in so many ways but I am entirely into this form of extra 😂

And just like that we have a new party member lolll
Oh! Ludo has rock manipulation powers!

I...don't know how I didn't piece this together earlier in terms of how the rocks travelled to her in his rescue
DOGGO

IT'S DOGGO
I really don't think you should be eating berries in this place...especially since you don't know what's around here
So uh, Sarah's just straight up tripping now after having eaten that peach, huh

Why you shouldn't eat stuff in this place!!
Wow Jareth is really doing his damnedest to like...enchant her with her ideals of fairytales and this incredibly 80s dress
Ah. Yes. Love ballad while this eternally old fey being tries to enchant/seduce...a teenager

I mean I get the appeal but also Yikes
This entire scene is aesthetic as hell though, gimme this weird masquerade fey 80s stuff
And now we're in....the trash

And lost

Super casual
You know, just ply her with items and that'll definitely make her reassured, definitely not sketchy or suspicious lol
I haven't said it yet but I super love Sarah's look throughout this adventure, the jeans plus the fancier blouse
Sir Didymius has the energy of a small dog with a ton of attitude and fearlessness
IT'S A MECH
The power of friendshiiiiip
They should really stop saying "piece of cake" in this 😂

It just invites trouble
I appreciate the fact there are casually real chickens on this set, just chilling here
If you can't get in, just make another door for yourself ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
The rocks going up the hill to chase after goblins really sells Ludo's power 😂
I love how guns just....casually exist here, when everything has clearly been swords and cannons so far lol
DON'T GO ALONE JUST BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE, THAT'S A RIDICULOUS REASON
Oh hey MC Escher

(I really unironically love how this is shot and done though, it's iconic for a reason)
This whole scene of the floating ruin pieces against the sky is perfect aesthetic (and I have literally done this in TTRPGs before)
"Just let me rule you"

Jareth

My dude

Stop pls
JARETH THIS IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS, THAT'S MANIPULATION
Sarah pls just let your baby brother sleep he's had a night
"Sarah, are you home?"

WHERE DO YOU THINK SHE'D BE AT MIDNIGHT WHEN SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BABYSITTING
OH EVERYBODY IS HERE NOW SUPER CASUALLY AND NO ONE NOTICES AND APPEARS TO CARE
Aaaand that's how the movie ends!

This was enjoyable, definitely a time though lol and would've been less fun if I wasn't livetweeting it 😂
