My last few words as I lay on my deathbed: julian bashir is bisexual. Die mad about it.

Me @ Rick Berman: Fite Me

Also, I couldn’t remember his name and Google was very helpful

[Image: a google search forĀ ā€œhomophobic star trek director dudeā€. The first result is a Wikipedia article titledĀ ā€œSexuality in Star Trekā€. The second is the Memory Alpha page for Rick Berman. End.]

forgetting rick berman’s name is the biggest power move i’ve ever seen

Autistic people: I hc this character as autistic bcs of x, y, and z common traits
Allistics: no! Thats stereotyping and it’s hurtful to people with autism! Not all people with autism are the same uwu
Autistic people: I hc this character as autistic bcs of a, b, and c less well-known traits
Allistics: youre just projecting! Theyre too high functioning to be autistic and that makes people less sympathetic to you! Youre hurting people with autism with this uwu

Sarah: *I’m* the Goblin Queen, bitches - you go wave your fans somewhere else.

(From Labyrinth: The Ultimate Visual History)

The Labyrinth commentaries are an Absolute Fucking Delight, seriously - from Goblins of the Labyrinth Ā to the deluxe edition DVDs, they are replete with balls-out nerdery from Froud/Henson/Lucas, over-the-top teenage delight from Jennifer Connely who, at 14, got to SLOW DANCE WITH DAVID BOWIE!!!!!!!!!…and, wonder of wonders, sheer fucking dorkiness in the person of aforementioned rock god.

Like…

-He kept stumbling on the stairs in the ballroom scene. Jennifer keeps laughing at him because, oh my fuck, you’re David Bowie, aged 40something, Rock God Supreme, stupidly beautiful, actually trained in all this shit….and my adolescent ass remembers these stairs are here, but you don’t?!?!???????/

- The script originally called for Jareth and Sarah to kiss, but David Bowie straight up refused because Jennifer Connely was a minor and he was a grown-ass adult.

- Henson wanted a famous musician to play the Goblin King and had debated casting Michael Jackson, until David Bowie came over and…hopped up onto the table, and, with a wicked gleam in his eye, pulled a bone flute out of his pocket, hopped up onto the table, and, crouching thereon, played it at him and Henson was likeĀ ā€œthat is the Goblin King right thereā€

- Jennifer was apparently an absolute dream to work with and they didn’t realise how dangerous some of the stunts she acted were until they saw an actual teenager, say, going down the shaft of hands

- David Bowie was TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS. Ā During the Diamond Dogs tour in the 1970s, he got stuck on an elevating chair on stage, and later, in the 80s, during Glass Spider, he had an elevated prop fucking PRECIPITATELY DESCEND under him. Ā Nonetheless, he did a lot of the Escher Room stuff himself - not all of it, some of it is a stunt guy, but damn, for a dude with acrophobia, doing ANY of it is impressive.

- Basically Jennifer Connely and David Bowie are/were fantastic to work with, and Jim Henson, who decided of his own free will to work with a baby, a teenager, numerous chickens, and a neurotic musician, was a madman. Ā A magnificent madman, but a madman nonetheless.

Reblogging for this glorious comment. Thanks @tyrannousstars!

Okay, I NEEEEEED to see those.

The bone flute was actually made for David Bowie by Jim Henson and Brian Froud, which they gave to him when they went to ask if he’d be interested in the role. But he did then hope up on the table and totally get into character with it.

So y’all know who the choreographer for this film was, right?

(She went by her first, rather than middle, name back then)

Turns out Dukat’s name as of this book isĀ ā€˜Dalin Skrain Dukat’ he must have changed his name. He changed his middle name toĀ ā€˜gul’ himself and the shitty name wasn’t from his father, pass it on.
