Is it weird that I find David Bowie sexy in this movie?


Really bummed that the biggest and longest standing thread on this board has disappeared. So, I thought I'd start it again:

Nope, he was DAMN hot! :-P

there is a facebook site dedicated to the crotch Bowie has in the movie Labyrinth.....

reply

There is a whole website based on his crotch - http://id34111.securedata.net/areaology/area.html - even has a purity test based on what Bowie filsm you've seen etc
AND "Areaology" appears on Urban Dictionary (The worship of the all-encompassing Area, AKA David Bowie's crotch)

And it's not weird at all. I'd be more worried about those who DIDN'T find him sexy in Labyrinth

Do you even have to ask?! He's the definition of sexiness.

reply

Nope. He is the main reason I watch the movie. lol

I also would find it weird if someone watched this and didn't find him sexy. He's oozing sex appeal - in fact it's bubbling over more than that smelly pond they had to cross.



C'mon...read my blog already: http://www.mariannsimms.blogspot.com

Not weird at all. I always thought Sarah was crazy for turning Jareth down.

I never in my life thought I could find a guy in eye shadow sexy and every time I see those tight britches I have to keep saying, "It's a Muppet movie.....It's a Muppet movie......."

reply

Hehehe.

not weird at all. lots of people do. i just don't see the appeal in him. i must be the only person who doesn't think he's sexy

Joining you here. His sex-appeal has always puzzled me. To me he looks like Clint Eastwood, who in turn looks like tree bark. Not dissing anyone, just wondering about the variety of human tastes...

there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above her shoulder

he has charm in his eyes and smile but i just don't feel the sexy

No! He is so sexy!

Not weird in the slighest. David Bowie looks incredible in this film! :)

I agree with most of the other posters.. David Bowie is sexy! Especially in this movie. When I was a little kid I really wanted Sarah and Jareth to hook up. Now I realize that would be gross because she's so young.. but it still didn't keep me from daydreaming about it back then!

reply

I don't think the idea of Sarah and Jareth being together is as disturbing as it could be, because Labyrinth is very much a fairy tale and you could say a character like Jareth is technically ageless compared to a normal human like Sarah.

A film like Labyrinth would never be made today with such a large age gap between the leading man and lady because people would just angrily dismiss it as peadophilia, which is frustrating.
