« on: February 23, 2013, 01:23:07 AM »

Anybody know what's up with Matt Hall's blog? He hasn't posted anything since the end of November. Just hope everything is okay. By the way, if you haven't already read his blog, you really should. Very entertaining.

Current Talk '12 I / Re: Strange feelings about the new film and fandom

« on: March 16, 2012, 04:36:02 AM »

Just viewed the DS trailer for the fifth time and NOW I understand why the original DS is being released on DVD in it's entirety next month - it's to soothe the battered souls of stalwart DS fans who were so turned off by the movie that they'll gladly shell out hundreds of bucks to rid the image of Johnny Depp's disco Barnabas from their psyche for all eternity. It's all about making a buck, not paying homage to a classic gothic soap opera. Much of the suspense on DS centered on maintaining Barnabas' secret...so in this version he freely admits to being a vampire? Where the hell is the suspense in that? But I'll see the Depp/Burton version - when Amazon offers it as a $.99 weekend special.

The lights on Broadway seem just a bit dimmer tonight; but aren't the stars in the sky twinkling more brightly than ever. Rest in Peace, dear Lady, and thanks for all the wonderful memories. Your legacy will never be forgotten.

Calendar Events / Announcements '06 II / Re: ShadowGram Update #153 -- DS Survey / Fest Schedule / Pre-Barn DVD Update, more

Have TPTB learned nothing from the DS revival series? I know I'm probably in the minority here, but, IMHO, all attempts to recreate DS just sucked. You can't catch lightning in a bottle twice - unless you';re Julia

. DS was, is, and always will be a Gothic classic. The Star Trek folks got it right - don't try to recreate Kirk, Spock, et all. Instead we were blessed with Picard and company. Same concept but new and different characters who happily reside beside the older versions. Why do they have to keep hacking away at DS and cheapening it with every attempt to cash in on it? Sorry for ranting. BUt I just think DS should be left alone to enjoy the way we are right here and now.
