BASTIAN! CALL MY NAME!

Last night, Tricia, Christi, and I went to the Sunshine Theater to see Neverending Story. It was awesome to see it again. I love that movie, no matter its flaws. I still think it's a pretty good movie, for what it is anyway.

Did you know that the actor who did the voices of Falkor and Gmork was also Skeletor?I just found that out.
In fact... I looked up the movie on IMDB and other sites to find out more information about the actors.

Bastian- Barret Oliver. He was in several things as a kid, including Cocoon and Knight Rider. He's now a photographer with a specialty in 19th Century Wet-Plate process.













"But it's only a story! They can't be talking about me!?"






Atreyu- Noah Hathaway. He was in a bunch of stuff as a kid, including a movie called Troll, which Christi says is awful. He plays a boy named Harry Potter Jr. The bio says he worked as a bartender for years, got lots of tatoos and studied martial arts, inlcuding muay thai. And now he teaches martial arts. Supposedly he's married to a woman but the photos I found seem suggestive of something else. Very wierd.


The Childlike Empress(renamed Moonchild by Bastian, of course)- Tami Stronach. This was her one and only movie, but she also came out with a single around then. There are 2 songs, Fairy Queen and Riding on a Rainbow.

She's now a dancer and choreographer. According to one website she is/was teaching yoga at New York Sports Club. She has a website...i guess if we really wanted to we could go see her dance.

Tricia was talking about dressing up as Atreyu for Halloween

Christi said...

Atreyu was so cute. anyway i feel bad for the verging on pedolphile pictures that someone took of him. poor kid. that's so wrong.

and yeah i really don't know how i missed all of those people calling atreyu "he" and "him". i guess i thought she he was a lot like jodi foster as a kid
