I agree with him. But I suppose that's not a surprise given what I've been saying since we've seen the first trailer.

MB I guess we will never know the true results of the test audience.
Maybe not. But I think we can pretty much deduce from the various reports about the test screening that have mentioned the audience's reaction while watching the film that on a whole they seemed to have enjoyed it. So, chances are Seth Grahame-Smith wasn't misrepresenting that reaction.
I've not seen this scene in the context of the movie - you have - and I would have to agree with you on this point. Definitely seems a little odd.I've bemoaned the Barnabas/Angelique/tongue scene elsewhere. It struck me as way over-the-top and was something I would have expected from an Austin Powers movie.
But you know what's interesting - and because on previous viewings I was only paying attention to the trailer itself so it's something that I didn't really take notice of until today when I watched Ellen again (to check out something about how the trailer was shown on her show) - the Angelique/Barnabas/serpentine tongue licking sequence got a big laugh from Ellen's studio audience.
52 days 4 hours 36 minutes 56 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
