"Dark Shadows" Returns in October (in new comic form)
Captions containing more than 2 lines of dialogue will be removed.
well, I was just in the drugstore buying a few sundries and I saw in the perfume and makeup department this huge maquette (or whatever it's called) for a new line from Cover Girl with the tag, "Don't spend your life living in somebody else's shadow." And whether I'm hallucinating or not, the model featured on the ad looked a lot like Magtoria/Josette as portrayed by Miss Heathcote.
It made me giggle...
The fact that Laura just appears out of nowhere and saves the day is the most jarring and upsetting plot point. (As an aside, has anyone really taken a look at her clothing? Does it look like something from the 1960s? Because it looks to be from a much earlier period imo.
I thought maybe it would be possible that she gave her original name to Willie or something, and then he simply forgot it. But this wouldn't make sense given how protective Liz is shown to be over the children in the movie. She would want to know the name of the person coming to watch over them.
Aren't flubs all part-and-parcel of DS? Didn't they exist in every incarnation of it? Without them, they wouldn't be DS. Maybe Depp/Burton intended it and wanted to see if anyone caught on. After all, Cameron, who wanted to make everything on Titanic to be historically perfect had smoke coming out of the fourth stack - he did that deliberately for Titanic buffs, since the fourth funnel was a dummy that served as storage for deck chairs. And S.E. Hinton somehow got the publishers to retrain one "flub" in her reworked novel, Hawkes Harbor (the obvious original title must've been Collinsport), for us DS fans.
it was my impression that vicki was under angelique's spell when she took the leap.
didn't barnabas demand that ang release her from her spell before she died?
they really made Josette a much more active driver of the outcome of this than I had picked up on. Think back to what she says to Barnabas as they profess their love to one another in the beginning. Again, I don't have the exact wording, but she says something like "Promise me we'll be together forever." In fact, her last words to Barnabas were "Help me," which I found haunting since she repeats them to Victoria several times, and the last time Victoria speaks to Barnabas before going over Widow's Hill, I think we're meant to assume that Josette has already possessed her.
I, too, have mixed feelings about the scene, mixing drama with comedy, of Roger abandoning his son and family with no feeling of remorse. It was truly moving, especially seeing little David standing with tears in the doorway watching him leave. Added to the emotion was seeing Barnabas' reaction which was filled with equal pain and compassion for that child for whom he had become so attached.
