I just finished watching my 1st whole, sequential and never seen episodes of my Dark Shadows Collection.

Again, didn't know there were faux M. Morgan & S. Evans.

Had absolutely no clue was early days Roger was like.

I had seen Maggie's early days wig once, but had forgotten.

I *believe* the next disc (towards mid to end) will include a real hottie.

I'm about to purchase the movie, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" with M. Douglas.

I read a review and someone stated that F. Lang had done this movie.

The Amazon/M. Douglas movie is .01 (and that dang $3.99/shipping).

Does anyone differ in thinking it's a good movie, or, don't buy this one, buy the F. Lang one (which I don't see).

Thanks!


FOLLOW-UP.  I just looked at Amazon, cheapest is $10.99 +++ (Joan Fontaine!!)

I'm so glad that I've learned about 'classic and/or 'cult' movies; "Daughters of Darkness", "Paranoic", and Fritz Lang films, plus, more than a few others.

Mark my words, within the next generation (25 years), "Cigarette Burns" will be considered one of the not-well-known classics.

If any of you haven't seen it, you really should. It's great.

I'm hoping to start a new job; where I can be customer care from my home.

Time to update laptop and MS Office.

First, I'm glad I never bothered to update to Windows 10; I've been reading that it constantly wants to update (which is normal), but it takes up so much space, people are having to uninstall stuff, to bare bones.

So, I'm looking at Asus with Chrome as the OS.

Here's my question: can I use Microsoft Office with a Chrome OS?

(That's another thing...for Office 2016, be aware...they have a 365 version, which is an annual renewal; they're still listing Office 2010, which I had bought in 2010, for my college course.)

I'm still on The Beginnings disc (almost onto last - disc 6).

The first thing that absolutely jumps out is what a terrific actress Nancy Barrett is.

I don't know her age in 1966, but, she's on cue, doesn't over or underplay her role; she is truly wonderful to watch and hear.

Next is that we love Joan Bennett, but, in the beginning (but she seems to have gotten the 'hang' of it now, again, I'm on disc 5); she 'spazed' on her lines alot, looking at the teleprompter IN THE BEGINNING.

She's a true actress, in that I mean she either learned her script (singular) for a movie, or, I'm assuming she appeared on stage, where, again, the script would be the same day after day. That has to be very hard to go from 'sameness' to completely different day after day. But, she's knocking it out of the park already!


I really like Bill Malloy.

Since the whole bleeder valve incident, we're not seeing David. Did TPTB want to see if adult women would be offended by a kid's sociopathic behavior?

I have the DVD paused right now; Vicki has walked into town, and is sitting with Maggie at a table in the coffee shop. Bill Malloy just left to call/see Liz. Maggie is so pretty.

Likes I said, just some musings.

More to follow.

Sorry if to some (who've owned the series for a while) if I'm being tiresome....but this is a 5-layer chocolate cake with sprinkles, cherries, unicorns and rainbows on top for me.

...I can get some ink?" says Victoria to Carolyn.

Carolyn: "Here, use my pen."

Didn't get a good look upon the pen...

Just saw T. David as MM 

Is it normal that at the beginning of each ep, there's the 'board' which has written the date, take, VDT? in chalk? Will that be at the beginning of EVERY episode?

I just went on the Members List; I always look at Date Registered.

With the exception of 2, there were at least 12 people who used to be on here alot, who, least length was two YEARS, there were one or two that it's been OVER ten years.

I really, really miss these cousins.
