Current Talk '24 I / Re: (**MORE FABULOUS PHOTOS!! Replies #2519 and #2522**) Depp/Burton DARK SHADOWS Is In Production!!
« on: March 20, 2012, 04:51:31 PM »I guess my disconnect with some of the opinions I'm reading is when people say things like, "They (Tim and Johnny, and maybe Jim Pierson) said they were fans! A fan would never make a film like this." Well, that is a bit presumptuous and presupposes that all fans are of one mind. I would never accuse someone of not being a fan if they didn't share my vision, but that's just me.
It's not just you.
And as I tried to say the other day and probably didn't get my point across clearly enough, there are all sorts of DS fans, including the ones who can devise the type of humor we're seeing in the trailers, along with the types who can appreciate that type of humor. And the fact that they can doesn't make them any less fans than those who might not. Though, of course, an entire film of that sort of humor is another issue entirely. But supposedly the new film isn't that type of film, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

So I don't find it as easy to sympathize with these types of comments as it is to sympathize with folks who were hoping for something different and feel disappointed.
Exactly - as I've said, I totally understand their disappointment and sympathize with them.
