I went to the preview screening even though it was full, figuring that if I got in line early enough with my ticket, I just might get in.
And I did.
We all had to sign non-disclosure agreements, however, so I cannot comment on the comedic aspects of the film in any way. Instead, I will link to random youtube clips that are completely unrelated to DS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXcJTbgt1N8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhehfTx3aOA&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0YLLkr7VfUI suppose it's OK to discuss what I heard other people saying about the movie, if not the movie itself. The gentleman who introduced the picture referred to it as "A Gothic, humorous, off-beat film." Many people laughed frequently throughout the movie. As people left the theater, I heard some complaining that they were confused about the story and disappointed with the film overall. The audience didn't seem to know what to make of it.
For my own part, I thoroughly enjoyed the first 20 minutes, but became progressively disillusioned as the movie went on and left feeling very discouraged. It's a very good looking movie with several terrific performances (though not necessarily from the stars you might have expected). However, it is definitely not DS as we know it. Granted, this was an early cut of the film, but I don't know how it will be received by a mainstream audience, let alone the fan base.
