We all watched The Dark Crystal last night, after Michael identified our awkwardly-feathering black Australorps as 'Skeksis'.
Great movie! We watched a little documentary on the making of the movie afterwards, with Jim Henson (Kermit!) and Frank Oz (played Yoda). They worked on creating the movie for five years! Wild! It was neat to see how they were filming it...some of the larger creatures (Skeksis, Masters, Gartham) were actually people in elaborate costumes, with parts being manipulated as puppets by other people as well. The land strider creature was actually a former clown on four stilts! Amazing! It almost felt like we were in a real-life theatre, as it's so different from all the computer-animated stuff of today! Gives me real-life theatre urges! What a work of art!
