Current Talk '24 I / Re: (**NEW Photos/Michelle Pfeiffer Interview In The April W!!** Reply #3083 ) Depp/Burton DARK SHAD
« on: May 01, 2012, 06:55:00 PM »There's a huge clue in his bio on the Meet the Residents of Collinwood page of the official site. (There are character-defining images with most descriptions, such as the record player for Carolyn or Angelique's cherry red convertible, but please don't look at Roger's you don't want it spoiled.)
Even without the bio (which I haven't read) it's possible to deduce what Roger is looking for from just having seen glimpses of that scene on the entertainment shows along with clips/photos from other scenes and, well, just knowing what sort of character Roger is. In fact, soon after we learned that in the film Barnabas wasn't sealed in the secret room of the mausoleum, I made a comment that quite possibly part of the reason they decided that that wouldn't fly this time around might be because of Roger.

I had an oh no they didn't moment when one of the entertainment shows used the c-word for the first time-- that I recall, anyway-- while discussing it. Of course I mean "campy", and it hit me that if it's used now, then will the original series never lose that label?
Sadly, even without the new film, the original DS will never lose that label. It got attached to the show in the '70s, and in the ensuing 40+years I seriously doubt even one year has gone by that it hasn't been described that way - especially in print. So, it's no wonder it continues to be the description of choice of nearly every writer and TV host. And I've come to the realization that it's never going to change.
9 days 10 hours 5 minutes 0 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
