I always wondered why angie would hang out in a small fishing town for 200 years in one form or another when, with the powers she possesses she could really be a big fish in a big exciting town...after 200 years you would think she would get over her anger at the collins, plus she had barnabas right where she wanted him, and once finding out he had been released she would surely know and make a return to deal with him. someone mentioned earlier on a readers digest, a condensed verision of DS, and it was sort of what i expected. at 111 minutes they couldnt go into detail enough...the visuals were quite good, especially as liz sees a fire from the window at collinwood from her window in collinsport, and widows hill looked impressive too. Dr Hoffman was quite different from Julia from the OS and i thought that part was quite interesting. and "the ugliest woman i have ever seen" Alice still rules! and still think i have the old 8 track of T rex around somewhere. overall i would give the movie a 5 out of 10, and as i was leaving the theater with my fanatic DS brother, i seen a poster of the hunger games and wondered if maybe that may have been the movie i should have watched...there was times as i was watching DS, if i was watching the DS movie i have been waiting for months to see... Hope there is some sort of directors cut thats goes for about 3 hours that will bring more development to the characters...a little disappointed, but not unexpected.

I remember grandpa passed in june of 1968. Grandma was living in rural Michigan at the time and there was really no TV channel she could pick up, living between Chicago and Detroit. they had a tv but all channels was snowy and not really worth watching...She came to live with us in the suburbs of Philadelphia from sept. 1968 to april 1969. when i got home from school, mom and grandma had quilting frames in the living room and would sew away..we had been watching DS from about feb. 1968....Grandma was the sweetest lady you could have as a grandparent...she got familiar with clear television while she was with us...THere was one show that she really liked...you got it...DS...on several occasions she would ask me when "Barnabas was coming on" Brings back some fond memories having her there, and the enjoyment of watching grandma watching her favorite show and favorite actor....R.I.P Mr. Frid, and thank you for helping a sweet old lady forget about her loss for at least 30 minutes a day.

LMAO "nooooooooo  you put these words on romanticism. what the hell is romanticism?? poor old feller, getting asked the same ole questions, he is hurting he looks like he dont wanna be there. but he comes up with some doozies..."like all women they like gossiping". it looks like their are times where he is quite lucid, then seems a bit disoriented...He was an actor, doing a role, getting apparently a decent wage at the time so he got while the getting was good...I was a little surprised at the comments about some of his fellow actors....did he mean to say grayson hall would have been a better witch than Angelique???(lol) And if anyone knows, what was "the big one" where apparently he screwed up so bad they had to go redo it, or splice tape and cut tape to make it not look so bad....if i recall correctly, he kind of stared down the telepromptor too, and i can recall quite a few mess ups on his parts where it seems he dont know his lines...a very interesting interview and in some cases brutally honest.

Even in a tough economy, our friend has finally found employment, after nearly a 40 year hiatus.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2ZD-ctuWCg

After playing this particular game on Nintendo for about 2 months, (years ago) i am very familiar with that theme....The hero enters a cave or bombed out wall, and he will usually find a weapon that will help him defeat the bad guy he is sure to encounter, and this music plays in the background as he is in the cave.....As for the question you pose about being insane, i would say yes, you probably are a lunatic.... ......(Wait a minute, i did say i spent about 2 months mashing and twisting knobs to defeat a monster that was on my TV screen....) oooooops....     

This blue is great...i dont see red very well.when i see a blinking light on the road at an intersection, i cant tell if its a blinking red or yellow............but i can see this great...thnx!

Well, i had to go into work last night (6th day this week).....So i got set up for a long slow night, not busy at all.my coffee, my USA today, and the radio to listen to "Coast to Coast with George Noory". as i do everynight i work.....I had heard the night before that Dark Shadows was going to be a topic for a couple of hours the previous evening, but wasnt sure what night, as the darn am radio tends to fade...Much to my delight, it was last night. The special guest was Frank Borzellieri for 2 hours, the Author of The Physics of Dark Shadows, and i recall the Prof (Amanda) had started  a thread about the book, and i recall she had done the foreward to it, so i thought this would be a really good show..The show turned out to be great! Frank seems to know his DS in great detail, as many on this board do...He talked about the history of the show, the characters, the possibilities of time travel, and perhaps parralel universes...Interesting stuff....OK, the last part of the show was for the listeners to call in...i thought in the back of my mind that maybe someone from this board might give a call, if they were aware that it was airing, and they were still awake...There was one call from a Josette, it seems she had changed her name to Josette because of the show, she said she knew some of the cast members and that she was very sorry that she hadnt been able to see any of them for years, mostly due to financial issues...George Noory promptly tells her if she wants to come to the fest, that all expenses would be taken care of, that coast to coast would foot the bill...she seemed overwhelmed at the wonderful gesture of Georges part...Time was running down, and they would have time for a couple more calls.....The next caller was an Amanda from Carson Ca.......i thought "no way", she said hello to George, and then Frank tells George that this lady is the Amanda that did the forward to his book, along with KLS.....Thankfully the radio was coming in crystal clear....I thought to myself "Hey Hey, this is Professor Stokes" from the DS forums....I had never heard her voice before, but, she was a natural ! If it had been me, i wouild have stumbled, had the radio on too loud and such , but she sounded like she had called a hundred times before....She brought up the topic about who might have been the source for the character of Professor Stokes (who else) and she rattled off a few names if i recall correctly, and asked Frank about it..his reply was something like "you are the expert on this subject... I was thinking "you gettem prof" lol.....So about this time, George Noory was about to take another call from a listener...."And on more thing" Amanda chimes in (earlier in the show, the question was posed if DS or any characters had benn nominated or won an emmy, and Frank correctly stated that there was no emmys for DS or the Actors)....Amanda went to say that the daytime emmys came along after the run of DS was finished. Noory did a "ahhhhhhhh now i see".....or something to that affect.....That pretty much concluded the Profs time on the air, as he has to get to many calls as he can.....But, it was a delight to have heard Amanda on the show i listen to during the week...This young lady has a very bright future, and i was very proud of my little Cuz. I do not write very well, but i think i got across what i was meaning to say (my synopsis writing blows)....BTW, if i am not mistaken, there is transcripts of the show on the coast to coast website....Mr. Borzellieri, i hope your book sells like hotcakes, and i hope it helps to bring new interest to the younger folks about what a great tv show  DS was and is.........trip
