timepiececlockYou know, it never occured to me until just now that the girl in Labyrinth was the same Jennifer Connelly actress who is in a bunch of movies lately. It's an "Oh. Huh." moment.
I watched Labyrinth once. I think I was about 12 or 13 (i.e. old enough to have a crush on Agent Mulder but also young enough to think anyone over 18 was old and gross. Except, you know, Agent Mulder-- especially when he's with Scully because that was twu wuv.) I thought it was cute, and I liked the goblins that tagged along, but I thought David Bowie was too scary to be sexy.
I kinda still think he's too scary in that movie to be sexy.
But I did like his name. Jaaaaaaaareth. Jareth is a very, very cool name. I'm a fantasy buff and so of course names that end -eth are automatically a bit cooler than most, and Jareth just sounds cool. Like Jarod, but cooler. Like it would be a hella cool name to give your kid ...if it weren't incredibly pretentious and also doom him to a life of ridicule by David Bowie fans.
I should put this movie on my Netflix list.
And I'm going to go find Labyrinth fanfic now. Nevermind that I don't remember any of the characters names and barely any plot... fanfic!
