Michael C - I did say that I didn't care but that's a hard thing to do. After all I've been a fan of DS for most of my life.
I'm excited at times about the movie and at other times I worry about it. I'm a movie fan and I've been one long enough to know that about 99.9% of remakes are extremely bad. I've seen the remakes that Tim Burton has made and none of them, in my opinion are very good. I've read the only book that the screen writer has written on his own and I didn't care for it. The only reason I read it was the fact that he wrote the screenplay for this movie. His writing style is what I don't like and I'm hoping we get none of it in the movie.
I'm hoping this is going to be a great movie, I just think the odds are against it. I think the odds are against any and every remake.
I don't trust or distrust anyone working on this film, I don't know them.
Obsessive? Maybe, it's Dark Shadows, I'm a bit obsessive about everything Dark Shadows. I'd say anyone that comes here daily to read tweets from people they don't know about a movie based on a show that has been off the air as long as DS has is a bit obsessive.
Paranoia? I don't think so. I'm 100% sure they are making the movie they want to make. It has nothing to do with what I want, like or dislike and I'm ok with that. That's there right. Just as it's my right to like to movie or not like their movie. I hope that in the end I'll love it.
I'm not posting what I post to cause you to dread coming here. Like everyone that comes here I'm posting my feelings about what I read and see with regards to this movie. I can't change those feelings, they are what they are.
If you'd like me to leave, say so. If enough join you I will.
