Re: Dark shadows trailer
I feel like Tim Burton just took a huge, messy sh*t on an important piece of my childhood.
I hope Dan Curtis rises from the grave and puts his boot in Tim Burton's @ss.Last edited by BChristgau; 03-16-2012, 10:48 AM.SIX-GUN GORILLA: LONG DAYS OF VENGEANCE.

Oh, please. If you know Tim Burton, you know he's a master at dark camp.
When I was working as a temp messenger at Bear Stearns, there was a mentally retarded guy who obsessed about DS. The guy would blab about buying DVDs of the show so much, I'd leave the room. I felt sorry for the guy because he used to be married, but the woman ****ed his "best friend".
I've seen some clips of the show, and it wasn't that great. Sometimes, hindsight isn't always 20-20."A screenwriter is much like being a fire hydrant with a bunch of dogs lined up around it.- -Frank Miller

Look, I know DARK SHADOWS was cheesy. That's the *fun* of a show like DARK SHADOWS. The 90's revival got the tone *exactly* right: good and cheesy and self-aware, but not so ham-fisted that it descended into outright mockery... which Burton's movie evidently does.
Now if Burton is the horror fan he claims to be, why didn't he make a horror film? A full-blooded, Hammer-style vampire movie with gore and cleavage is just the sort of thing we could use right now in the age of TWILIGHT.
Cheers,

Re: Dark Shadows trailer
I wasn't a fan myself, but you have to admit it was pretty unique...a daytime soap opera with a vampire and werewolves and all sorts of spooky stuff. Pretty much the last gasp of the gothic horror cycle. I could see why some folks are fond of it.
But I think what has a lot of those folks upset is how they sorta got betrayed...they were along with the tease expecting Tim Burton in Sleepy Hollow mode, and suddenly they get a bucket of Pee Wee Herman on Skittles. Didn't have time to adjust, it's just BAM! Surprise!
And they're getting played even more still...their outrage is just the kind of viral activity marketing wants."Forget it, Jake. It's Hollywood."

It this wasn't eerily similar to Dinner With Schmucks I'd say it belongs in a movie.

Did Burton remake Dark Shadows or Love at First Bite?Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
