Memory Monday - You remind me of the Babe

This is a shout-out to my sister, Shelly...

So Tamlin and I were digging around the DVDs to find a movie we could both tolerate.  I suggested Labyrinth, and quickly mentioned it had cool goblins in it.  Tam was for it. 

Labyrinth was (is) one of my favorite movies.  I loved that there was a female that saved the day, and cool goblins, and cool costumes, and songs, and totally sexy David Bowie.  I remember that Shelly liked this movie too...especially for the goblin King's awesome costumes that fit him well in all the "right" places.   Plot review for those who don't remember the movie...Heroine must watch baby brother; Wishes goblins would take crying baby away; Goblin king takes baby to center of labyrinth; Heroine regrets her wish and must find her way through the maze to get him back;  Strange critters and friends are met along the way;  Riddles and trials are placed in her way;  Musical rock videos are sung between people and puppets; Eventually Heroine faces off against Goblin king and wins.

The first time I tried to watch this movie with Tam, we only made it about 30 minutes.  Tam got very upset that the goblins had the baby and they couldn't get home.  "No, baby gone.  Need to go home." This was back when he was 3, I think.

This time went much better.  We did make it through the movie, or rather, I made it through the movie.  Tamlin lost interest after about an hour and went to play cars.  Jude did not find the movie interesting at all, and went to play cars nearly immediately.   Sigh.  I guess I will just have to enjoy this old school Muppet movie by myself...or at least until Shelly comes to visit again.

Power of the Babe...

"You remind me of the babe
What babe
The babe with the power
What power
The power of voodoo
Who do?
You do
Do what
Remind me of the babe"

"What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog tails
Thunder or lightening
Something frightening"

"Dance magic, dance

Dance magic, dance

Put that baby’s spell on me

slap that baby make him free"
