Not as a download; we couldn't get that to work. Bought it. Hated it. It was so boring. Mostly it seemed like a missed opportunity. It was supposed to show an alien getting corrupted by earthling ways, but we never see a point where he isn't already corrupt. The whole thing seemed to have no purpose other than making pretty pictures of questionable activities. You would think decadence would be entertaining. You would be wrong. Almost 2 1/2 hours of solid tedium.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310195368273952403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390016214161335292.post-50264119065645975722009-06-18T16:28:31.889-03:002009-06-18T16:28:31.889-03:00Great, thanks for the info!

The picture quality is excellent.<br /><br />I believe this is the link, but if not, it's still on there just under a different link<br />http://www.taringa.net/posts/tv-peliculas-series/1961948/Nicolas-Roeg---The-Man-Who-Fell-To-Earth-(1976).html<br /><br />Best thing about the movie? [ignoring the brilliant acting from Bowie and the amazing visual atmosphere, etc.] Well. Here is an exchange between myself and a friend of mine on msn:<br /><br />Q: Is there any nudity in TMWFTE?<br />A: A far better question to ask would be, "Are there any CLOTHES in TMWFTE?"Madame Enferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237938029432864327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390016214161335292.post-44763857879378952182009-02-02T22:22:00.000-04:002009-02-02T22:22:00.000-04:00Bowie's a good reason, sure.

Can't find it anywhere, may have to order it off the web if all else fails.<BR/><BR/>I didn't catch any erotic undertones in Dark Crystal. What I remember best about that movie is the vital-essence-sucking machine. I think that one's a good metaphor for a lot of dysfunctional relationships.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310195368273952403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390016214161335292.post-54590223756532277802009-02-02T20:53:00.000-04:002009-02-02T20:53:00.000-04:00Huh...How...

Wonder if there are erotic undertones to Henson's other piece of genius _The Dark Crystal_ Homo eroticism with the Skekses?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280885526899399810noreply@blogger.com
