Labyrinth FanFest At Flix Brewhouse

I absolutely LOVE the movie Labyrinth. It came out in 1986 and is from Jim Henson so you know it's fabulous. I was a gigantic fan as a kid and then I showed my own children and they enjoyed it. Natalie is a bigger fan than Tommy, so when I saw the movie was going to be showing at our nearby theater, she was the one who wanted to attend. I mean, of course I was going whether or not they would join me anyway. Duh.

David Bowie. 

Hello?

Oh right, if you don't know, David Bowie is in the movie as the Goblin King. The quick synopsis of the movie is that sixteen-year-old Sarah is irritated with her one-year-old brother Toby so she wishes that the Goblin King would take him away. He does this and then she realizes, crap, not a good idea, so she goes into the labyrinth where the Goblin King lives to save him. She meets exciting characters along the way and there's SONGS and DAVID BOWIE. (Natalie is appalled that some people at her school have no clue who he is.)


I have the Goblin King on my laptop. Plus a Ludo bag:




Anyhow, if you have a Flix Brewhouse nearby, sometimes they will show older movies and have a FanFest. With these, you get a special pint glass. (Flix Brewhouse is known for their many beer selections.) 

Here was our glass (and of course we brought Labyrinth friends!):




We also got a cool print. It didn't really look like David Bowie, but still, we liked the vibe:




You can order food and drinks at your seat at Flix Brewhouse. I got the chips & dips:





Natalie got her buffalo dipped chicken fingers and fries:



The theater was PACKED. Everyone was excited to see Labyrinth. There was even some clapping going on when the movie played because DAVID BOWIE and his TIGHT PANTS. 

We had such an amazing time. I mean, duh, we already knew we loved the movie, but Flix Brewhouse made it extra exciting. 




If you want to see Labyrinth, it's currently on Netflix. You'll love it! 

Have you seen it yet?

  5. I don't think I ever saw this movie when it came out. I do want to see it though. We have a theatre that just opened not long ago in town and it plays a lot of old movies. I love it!

  6. I'm loving that art piece. Also, fun fact: They used a double during Jared's contact juggling scenes with the crystal ball, they just stuck their arm under his armpit and did their thing for the camera!
