Calendar Events / Announcements '04 II / Review of DS Reunion DVD
« on: July 21, 2004, 10:46:11 PM »
Here's a terrific review from the Summer 2004 issue of Videoscope (#51) that appears here with the permission of its author.


Dark Shadows Reunion (2003)  3 antennas
Dir: uncredited. With Dan Curtis, Kate Jackson, David Selby, Lara Parker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, Nancy Barrett, Roger Davis, Jerry Lacy, others.
105 minutes. DVD (MPI Home Video) 2003

     In March, 2001, the Museum of Television and Radio paid tribute to the groundbreaking horror themed soap opera Dark Shadows. Held at the Director's Guild of America Theatre in Los Angeles, the Q&A styled tribute features the only personal appearances made--up to that time--by Dark Shadows creator/producer Dan Curtis, director Lela Swift, and cast members Kate Jackson (Daphne) and Alexandra Moltke (Victoria Winters).

     This disc is a video presentation of that event. Shot in a simple, straightforward manner, Dark Shadows Reunion is nothing more than Curtis, plus most of his surviving cast and crew, talking about the show and answering audience questions.

     Having said that, let me add that the disc is well done, featuring steady camera work and superb sound. Curtis and company are clearly a group who enjoy being with each other, and are having a great time!

     There are serious moments, as Lela Swift discusses having been a female director working in a male dominated industry. There are funny moment, as actor John Karlen (Willie) admits to having six children with various of his Dark Shadows castmates! (An audience member admits to being one of those children!) And there are deeply touching moments, as the cast pays quiet tribute to one of their own. Only five days before this event took place, Dark Shadows actor Louis Edmonds (Roger Collins) had died.

     Dan Curtis proves himself to be quite the comedian. He recalls that an unseen character named Dr. Julius Hoffman was mentioned on air one day as being "the best man for the job". When the character appeared a week later, it was Dr Julia Hoffman, a woman (Grayson Hall), who went on to become one of the show's most beloved characters. When it was pointed out to him that the character was announced as a man, Curtis quotes himself with a gut busting laugh: "Who cares? No one will notice! No one will ever see these episodes again!!" The audience roared!

     Obviously, this disc will appeal only to die hard fans of the series. But there are a lot of Shadow-holics out there, and for them, Dark Shadows Reunion will be a delight. As a proud Dark Shadows groupie myself, I highly recommend Dark Shadows Reunion.

     The extras are gems. Kathryn Leigh Scott (Maggie/Josette) is seen in Dark Shadows promos from 1969. Also featured are uncut interviews with Jonathan Frid (Barnabas) on the Merv Griffin Show(1969) and Joan Bennett (Elizabeth Collins Stoddard) with Mike Douglas (1970). The latter is rather amusing as Bennett's fellow guest, the every ditzy Dody Goodman, cuts in several times, rambling on and on but making little sense!

Testing. 1, 2, 3... / Re: Cursor movement
« on: July 21, 2004, 10:11:35 PM »
how would I (if using arrow keys)

a) reply

b) curse/cure

c...etc?

I was only able to go up down...nada else.

The keys' only function when used alone is to scroll up, down, and left or right too if called for.

They can be used to go back (Alt + Lt. arrow) and forward (Alt + Rt. arrow).

In a reply window you can use them alone to navigate text one character or line at a time, or in combination to jump to the next word (Ctrl + Lt. or Rt. arrow), select lines (Shift + arrow Up or Down), and select words (Ctrl + Shift + Rt. or Lt. arrow).  These are Windows/Netscape shortcuts, btw, and may vary.

In other words, they will not perform any commands on the forums other than navigation.

Yay!  I'm thrilled, Darren.  Congratulations are in order too.

(Yay!!!)

On the heels of Jordan Levin's departure, the WB's senior VP for programming and scheduling, John Litvack, announced today that he's leaving as well.


None of you have been modeling voodoo dolls from clay in the likeness of WB execs, have you?  Just thought I'd ask... :P

Click Hour Three:  Jim Pierson - Dark Shadows

I was really just interested in the part about the new DS.  ;)

It's at the end of the interview.  Regarding the finished product, Jim sez:

"The pilot was shot as a 1 hour program for the WB and they were very high on it.  And unfortunately, creatively, the end result did not come out the way we had all hoped for.  And, the director of the pilot ended up being a feature guy named P.J. Hogan and he went for some different looks, and some of it worked and some of it didn't."  <Time ran out and he never did answer the question he was asked, which was if the show is being shipped to another network.>

Now, Midnite....MB has said himself he never used to 'talk' online; and I remember he was a very quiet dude a few years back.

A) The boards would not have been started if not for him and B) of the two of us I'm the quiet one. 8)

Gee, I guess I can't post another post very quickly!!  I keep getting a message that says I have to wait 120 seconds!! ???

the limit also includes sending PMs.

The 120-second limit now only applies to posts.  Sending PMs is now a totally separate thing with no time limit.  ;D

Regarding Dana Elcar as the gruff yet competant Sheriff Patterson......i read somewhere that he is blind from advanced diabetes......now there is a guy who has been in every kind of movie you could think.......i remember him as a mean FBI agent in that Redford/Newman film "The Sting" in 1973.  Come to think of it....he never seemed to age much through the years......i think he was only in his early 40's when he played Sheriff Patterson......anyway...i hope he finds peace in the twilight of his life :)

I intended to respond to this and was just reminded when I surfed into an ep of MacGyver on TVLand.  Anyway, his blindness was caused by glaucoma, though he has played a blind diabetic on shows such as Law & Order (my personal fave) and ER.

Hee hee, Patti.

Congrats, Sally!  About the SciFi BBoards-- for a scifi site, it's about time they come into the 21st century.  ::)

I started posting there in the Fall of 1996 and it's where I met MB, Sheenasma, Nicky, Gothick, RobinV, and other cousins here.  Nicky started the Creative boards (as WickedNick), and I think it was RobinV and PadreJim (Ash) who had started the Lighter Side BBs.  From there I jumped directly to our own board on VantageNet.  Those original scifi boards seem to have disappeared, so it appears that era has come to an end.  :(
