wow...


I'm general not into the genre but i'll definitely give this a look. and eva green has got charisma is spades. she has the potential to have quite an interesting career.

"too intense"? compared to what???


compared to the insanity I've witnesses at other boards(relentless trolling, grown men weeping and threatening suicide over a movie)this board's a cake walk.

the writers seemed to throw clairvoyance or "second sight" at a character pretty randomly, and then just as quickly take it away, if it served a particular plot at a given point...


David had it through 1967. in 1968 Vicki suddenly developed a hitherto unknown "deep psychic connection" with Barnabas. Carolyn abruptly becomes Collinwood's resident "clairvoyant" sometime in 1969/70. I feel like other characters had it on and off too.

what always annoyed/infuriated me in the aftermath of 1897 was...


[spoiler]while everyone did remember the Quentin hauntings of 68/69, and David and Amy were terrified the first time they saw Quentin(aka 'Grant Douglas')at the antique shop, within a couple months they carried on as if Quentin was an ordinary, everday member of the family who had always been around. it was very, very sloppy and inconsistent writing.[/spoiler]

thanks.


I've only watched 1897 all the way through once many years ago and it was so cacophonous I forget the exact progression and a lot of the details of it.

remember on the OS after 1795, when monsters abruptly became the main characters, Vicki and David never shared another scene again except maybe one or two when the Quentin storyline was launched...


that what Vicki and David's relationship reminded me of in the film. Vicki coming to Collinwood under the premise of becoming David's governess was just the setup for getting her into the story and a nod to OS mythology. but regardless of scenes cut or not cut I don't think that relationship was ever intended to be heavily developed in the film. it decidedly was not "about that".

it's not the cruise itself...but a particular guest... that has eyebrows raised.

Kathy Cody???

*speechless*

my sentiments exactly...
