at the beginning when bastian is bemoaning the recent death of his mother he's dad is all "shut the fuck up kid, we got stuff to do, everyone dies so quit your bitching" but as he's telling bastian to quit being a loser he cracks two eggs into a blender, blends them, then drinks them out of a glass, or at least that's what it looked like. do people really just drink raw blended eggs? i used to do be into light body building and never once did i drink two raw eggs.

"here bastian, be a man, drink some eggs!"


movie is fucking magical. the falcor music made me feel like i was 5 again. yay.

I still cry at the end of it.

Shit, I still break down whenever the song comes on the radio.

according to stallone's audio commentary on rocky 1 he actually drank raw eggs because at that point in time he couldnt afford a fridge
and the raw eggs he drank on screen in the movie were real because he was doing it all the time at that point

i have the never ending story on dvd somewhere
but id rather watch return to oz

Yes, never got to the end of it though...

I'm just popping in to say no (for absolutely no good reason), but that I recently acquired the book which I'm going to start reading as soon as I finish From Ocean to Sky. I'm kind of glad that I get to chance to read it before seeing the film.

1. Yes I did watch it. It was horrible. Go read the book instead!
2. Yes, some people, usually those with a strict training regimen, do indeed drink raw eggs. Often combining it with protein shakes and whatnot.

my uncle, who was a champion bodybuilder in the 80's would drink raw eggs all the time. bastian's dad is a ponchy office jockey in a suit who's not even trying to convey the fact that he may or may not work out. maybe it was an 80's thing?

i never did like any of the oz movies, even as a kid. i felt the adventures they tried to convey were less grand than other films of a similar ilk.

Anyone ever watch the sequel, "The Never Ending Piece of Shit"?

There was totally vodka involved in that raw egg drinking.

Although I'm 80% sure that wasn't the actual title, it absolutely should have been.

Raw eggs + worcestershire sauce is an old hangover cure. Maybe dad's been drinking too much alcohol since mom died.

Back in the '80s people didn't worry about getting salmonella from raw eggs, but I always thought it was totally gross.

Well, you should better read the book, it`s way better than the movie!!!
On a side note: The Autor of the book was Michael Ende (Ende means end in english) and he wrote a book called "Neverending Story", which I always found funny!!!

yes, i liked it when i was little and rented it on amazon prime the other day and it was terrible.i could not stand the recasting of the characters, or the costumes, or anything pretty much.

Well if it makes you feel any better the lead actor in #2 is dead.

ironic because i actually contracted salmonella back in 1987 when a kid in my kindergarten class brought in his pet turtle for show and tell. was in the hospital for a week being pumped full of fluid. feels like a hot brick is inside your gut. ugh.
