I've read so much discussion about the casting and news of the new
Dark Shaodws movie, I would like to add my thoughts, they simply are
that I am looking forward to this movie and hope that as long as it is
in holding with the original in mind and heart it should be a
wonderful movie.

I have to tell you with the many remakes of shows from the 60s I
have a lot of dread about this Dark Shadows reboot.

I fear they are going to take our beloved Dark Shadow, trash it,
slice it, dice it, and generally kill it.

I came to this conclusion after seeing what they did with
the reboot of Hawaii Five 0, Mission Impossible, Bewitched,
etc.

I have to say the only reboot of a 60s show that I liked
was Star Trek. The rest sucked big time.

What's wrong with the new Hawaii Five-0? Of course, it is different.
It is geared to today's audience. If it didn't it wouldn't survive.
If it were the same as the original, you'd complain they just copied it.

Other than it being the most poorly written show on television? And the
incredibly poor casting of McGarrett?

Whick is very possible since when you remove all the "reality" shows
there aren't many "scripted" shows left.

Besides I have a DVR that records two shows at once so I can
watch them when I want to now when the network decides to shove
it down our throats.

Alsio i can watch these shows on line when I want to not when
the network insists I have to.

1. Extrmely violent.
2. Badly written
3. Did I mention it was extremely violent?

I watehed it the first week and never went back.
Too much violence.

Here is a radical thought: have a story to go along with the
violence.

Yeah it's geared to 18-39 year old males who want lots
of violence, killing, etc.

I'm way past that age group so i'm looking for more
from a show.

Here is a radical thought: have shows that are well written, well
acted, and require the audience to use their brains.

I think the big difference is that in this case, it isn't just some
random director or producer who went "A-ha! Here's this old TV show
that used to be popular, let's make it into a movie!" Burton and Depp
are both big fans of the series, which would seem to indicate that they
intend to stay fairly true to the original, if not the exact storyline,
then at least to the spirit of it and the characters.

Some tweaking is bound to happen, and that isn't always a bad thing
(IMHO, the best part of the revival series was making Vicki, rather than
Maggie, the lookalike counterpart of Josette). Since it's a passion
project for the two power players involved, Depp and Burton, I am
optimistic and downright excited about the resulting film! As I've said
before, my one and only real concern is that Burton will drench it in
unnecessary blood and gore ala Sweeney Todd. As long as he keeps it
more in line with the Sleepy Hollow level of violence, that would be
fine.

As for remakes in general, however, yes, they are mostly pretty bad.
The Avengers was particularly dreadful and disappointing. Happily there
were some good ones, though. The Addams Family movies (the two
theatrical ones) were brilliant, and the Brady Bunch worked as a knowing
and hilarious satire of itself. The Charlie's Angels and Mission:
Impossible movies were pretty well-done, too.

With just about every remake of an old show my inclination is please
don't remake it. The original was unique, please find something new
to make instead of trashing the original. And in most cases when
it comes to remakes the original gets trashed big time.

The only remake i've seen that I liked was Star Trek 11. The rest
sucked big time.

Just because you have the desire to repaint the Mona Lisa doesn't
mean you should.

The original of many of these shows were classics. Classics that
should be left to stand alone. Classics that should not be remade.
If you want to remake something go remake Halloween/Nightmare
on Elm Street/or some other crappy movie/tv show.

They can make it, they just can't expect me to pay big bucks to
see it.

Especially now where they are charging more than $20
to see a crappy movie in 3D. A movie that I wouldn't see
if they paid me.

Heck if they want me to shell out $20+ to see a movie then by golly
they better find out what I want to see.

If I look at the offerings at our local theater there are
exactly zero movies that I want to see.

Good point! In Muncie, IN, a 3D movie costs $10.50. That sounds less
than what I was paying recently in Atlanta, so I checked there, and
tickets there are still only $14.50. And these are Fandango prices,
which I think are a little more expensive than at the box office.

Maybe he's Canadian?

So, in other words, it's ok if you like it and not OK if you don't.
They can make it, they just can't expect me to pay big bucks to
see it.
Especially now where they are charging more than $20
to see a crappy movie in 3D.  A movie that I wouldn't see
if they paid me.

The producers should contact you before making a decision to remake
something? Because you're the only auidence in the world?
Heck if they want me to shell out $20+ to see a movie then by golly
they better find out what I want to see.
Where do you live that it costs $20 to see a movie?
Good point! In Muncie, IN, a 3D movie costs $10.50. That sounds less
than what I was paying recently in Atlanta, so I checked there, and
tickets there are still only $14.50. And these are Fandango prices,
which I think are a little more expensive than at the box office.
Maybe he's Canadian?

He must be refering to the original one. I remember liking it, but
then my last visit was decades ago, and it has since been demolised.
The one I was refering to in my message is within a Harkins theater
complex, and pretty much looks like the other theaters there, albeit
larger and with the largest screen (so they can charge you 50 cents
extra).

Yeah, the original, people remember it fondly, but it was a mess, much
through how it was run. It was a curved Cinerama screen, and they
couldn't hold focus (except when they had 70mm) so one projector had the
middle in focus and the outer 2/3 fuzzy, and the other projector had the
middle fuzzy and the outer 2/3 in focus, and at every real change,
bleah. I saw Star Wars 11 times there the summer of '77 and they didn't
clean the place once that I know of; we'd go to the 11am matinee and the
place would still be sticky and filthy.

They had these huge curtains and for some reason they thought it would
add to the show to open and close them. So they'd be open for the
previews, and then Star Wars would start. The 20th Century Fox logo
runs ... as the curtains CLOSE. "A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far
Away" runs over the closed curtains, and they finally open again for the
STAR WARS title. Every. Freaking. Time.

BTW, the $20 doesn't include the 3D glasses.
The 3D glasses the theater buys at $50 a piece.
So you're paying an added fee to rent the glasses.

Eastern United States. The average movie is $12 to get in.
Add in a movie in 3D and there is a hefty surcharge.

I've read so much discussion about the casting and news of the new
Dark Shaodws movie, I would like to add my thoughts, they simply are
that I am looking forward to this movie and hope that as long as it is
in holding with the original in mind and heart it should be a
wonderful movie.
I read that it is going to be largely based on the Leviathon story
line.

KIDDING!!!!!

How about Mr. Fly?

And to be authentic, no do-overs. All flubs, forgotton lines and
awkward pauses have to stay in.

As bad as the Leviathian story line it's still a thousand times better
than the crapiest junk on TV today. (read: reality shows)
