The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance | Teaser Trailer for Netflix

By

Who remembers The Dark Crystal (1982)?

If you do, you grew up in a really good time to be a kid. Well, +Netflix seems to know their demographics well with shows like Stranger Things, and Voltron getting multiple seasons they are looking to cash in on the nostalgia with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. 

Anyone miss the days of puppet work and animatronics in films? There was a time when it was considered cutting edge and films like John Carpenter's: The Thing (1982) won academy awards for those types of effects. The same year, a pretty awesome film from the mind of the late Jim Henson created The Dark Crystal. 

 A sci-fi fantasy film that was a great escape for kids in the 80s and had its share of merchandising. This classic does not come up in conversation enough but if you mention, it is one fan's remember. Check out the trailer below that features Henson talking about his excitement for the film and the concept art of the villainous species in the film, the "Skeksis".

If you remember anything about the original film, the Skesis were in power and using the life force of the people they controlled to keep themselves alive. They rounded up those they ruled and drained them of their "essence" by force so they could consume it and live longer to the point of decomposition.

The trailer does not say if this will be a prequel showing how they came to power or a new story taking place after the 1982 film, but either way, it's pretty exciting. Check it out:

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
