I am feeling... 
"Dance, magic dance..."
Greetings and salutations.....
Last night, around 11 pm, I became quite bored. I decided that since I had finally gotten around to putting my TV and VCR back in my room, I would watch a movie. But what to watch, what to watch... nothing that would give me nightmares, that's for sure. ::raises a glass to my overactive imagination, the source of all my irrational fears::
I finally decided to watch "Labyrinth". For those not familiar with the movie, it's about a girl who goes to rescue her brother Toby from the Goblin King (David Bowie, always a plus), and she has to make her way through the Labyrinth and the Goblin City to the castle to get Toby back. It's part kiddie movie and part trippy movie at the same time. Well... hmm. Here's a better analogy...
You've got Coke, and you've got Diet Coke.
You've got butter, and you've got margarine.
You've got Pink Floyd's "The Wall", and you've got "Labyrinth".
"Labyrinth" is like a reduced-fat acid trip, for lack of a sufficient description.
When watching "The Wall", you don't even need to be on anything- the movie itself keeps your eyes glazed, head tilted, and an odd, disturbed laugh rolling off your tongue.
When watching "Labyrinth", you start to get the same eye glaze and crazy laugh going, but then you notice during David Bowie's scenes that his extremely tight pants are not revealing the fact that he is freeballing throughout the entire movie. Now, if that doesn't snap you out of a trance, I don't know what will.
Leave it to me to point these things out.
And let me tell you- none of you will ever watch that movie the same way ever again.
I guarantee it.
