unlabelledView post →The Neverending Story. The movie was traumatic from the jump, but when Artax drowned, my mom had to take me home from the theater.
unlabelledView post →The best analogy I can offer is the slow yet inexorable advance of The Nothing seen in the 1980s film The Neverending Story You can see the storm spreading over the land, but it seems to be unfolding at such a high remove that it saps even your ability to strategize how it could possibly be stopped
unlabelledView post →Watching The Neverending Story which is not a particularly good movie but it is a very pretty movie
unlabelledView post →The Neverending Story had like 5 of these and that's why it was the greatest fantasy movie to have ever traumatized multiple generations of children
unlabelledView post →Rainy Saturday afternoon so you KNOW I’m revisiting THE NEVERENDING STORY, a truly bizarre film that I watched minimum 30 times as a kid. You can say “They don’t make em like this anymore” about it but mean like a dozen different things
unlabelledView post →Might seem like a weird time to say this, but we just watched The Neverending Story, and the message of the movie is the same one that my guides keep giving me, over and over: Joy is the antidote to fuckshit.

unlabelledView post →I've been intermittently rewatching THE NEVERENDING STORY (1984) for the first time in probably 30 years It's way better than I'd hoped it would be, but also it's very weird to experience a love letter to Books that is presented in Movie form
unlabelledView post →I was terrified by Return to Oz. So much so that I almost had to decline reviewing a production of Wicked when I was working as a theatre critic. That film did some damage. Also The Neverending Story.
unlabelledView post →I’m not a movie remake hater but there are two movies that should never ever be touched, The NeverEnding Story and The Goonies. It’s impossible to make better versions of them and nobody wants to see CGI and AI versions of them either, nobody ✨

unlabelledView post →Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of fraudulent advertising since my suit against the film, The Neverending Story.

unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Neverending Story (1979) by Michael Ende was filmed (1984) by Wolfgang Petersen. The films adapts only half of the German novel. The meaning of wishes also diverges as Ende despised the film's removal of key philosophy regarding the danger of escapism. 📖🐉💭 #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →Watching the Neverending Story with the kids, and Bastian is just about the most kid-like kid you're gonna see in film. Doing weird stuff with his fingers while his dad talks to him, trouble articulating himself, sullen shrugging

unlabelledView post →41 years ago, on 20 July 1984, the film 'The NeverEnding Story' was released. This scene traumatised an entire generation, and we all required years of therapy to deal with it. This was worse than Bambi's mum and Dumbo's mum scenes. Brutal.

unlabelledView post →"The Neverending Story", my beloved (while the movie does tackle some of Bastian's debilitating depression, I'm talking about the book specifically, which deals with that in a much more striking and complex manner)
unlabelledView post →#OneHitHistory #OTD in 1984, fantasy film The NeverEnding Story opened in theaters in America. It lives on in '80s memory thanks to its soaring theme song by former Kajagoogoo frontman Limahl… who earned solo US #OneHitWonder honors for his efforts. #Limahl #TheNeverendingStory #OneHitWondered
unlabelledView post →The Neverending Story. This movie was rated Universal, or "good for children." In this scene, our hero has just been confronted with a desiccated, immolated corpse and is panicking that they will become the same. Nightmare fuel.

unlabelledView post →I don't think anyone else mentioned the book that probably influenced young me the most: Michael Ende's THE NEVERENDING STORY. Since the movie only had half the story, only those who read it got to experience the amazing fantasy meta-commentary and absolutely beautiful ending.
