i now have volumes 4 & 5 coming! will be here hopefully on the 9th!

i know that. but when you have say "Jerry Lacy" if memory serves that's his right last name. he's gone over the top on some scenes. but he's a damn good actor & that makes the scene stronger.  if you look at the actress who played say "Buffy" she was TERRIBLE!  Chris P. i think did his best acting as Cyrus Longworth & his counter Part than he did as say Jeb. he was at his worst acting wise playing Jeb. in short his acting did improve in time. one actor that never gave a bad peformance is "David Selby" i can't recall him ever giving one. he's also my favorite actor off the show. & Character as well. what's funny is you are right about my mom. she used to watch soaps as well. daytime soaps i mean.  but she stopped watching them years ago when the children starting sleeping with the same people their parents were!  that's just NASTY!

anyways, one show that i did actually try & get into when "Sci-Fi Channel" aired it was "Passions" that show had NOT one good actor or actress on the entire show. now they may have given  better performances doing other stuff. i'm not denying that. but when they did the show it's simply aweful. one of the actors from it i read an interview he did & even he admitted he's surprised he even has a job cause he' s not that great of an actor. this was of course before the show was cancelled.

i think that took balls to admit that.  & as for the performance enchancement. i think it can work if the right actor or actress was told to. but i also think if they aren't that great at acting to begin with it can worsen the performance. Don Briscoe i think was a TERRIBLE Vampire i couldn't wait till he was staked.  he also did an unconvincing werewolf change but if he could play himself & not have to go through that he was a better actor. Nancy Berret i think is a great actress as well. but she had her weakness to. being frightned was one of them. sometimes when she cried it wasn't convincing either. but other than that her acting was simply brilliant. Louis Edmonds was ALWAYS Brilliant so telling him to go over the top i think would make his acting even better. in short i think for some people doing the show telling them to do just that didn't work simply cause they hadn't really done much or any other acting. therefore hadn't had enough work to improve on it.

but this is just one guys opinions. i think i've said this before when i said, i don't consider it a soap opera cause it really isn't. i think before Barnabas came on the show it was. but once they went supernatural & went all out. to me it doesn't feel like that. but at the end of the show with the Bramwell Storyline it did go back to being a soap. so as they said on the dvd set. i forget which one. it went full circle.

what do you think?

i can tell you love the show. he he. i enjoy it too!

i think it said (1943) last time i looked i may be wrong. either way she DOES look good for her age.

i agree Jimbo. i also don't want another remake but a NEW film. the ONLY thing i really honestly expect to be the same, & i'll be SHOCKED if it's not in it. is the start of the film. where Barnabas is Released in short the introduction of Barnabas. the rest after that i think SHOULD be Original. it won't honestly bother me if Willie isn't the one who finds him.

it also won't bother me if he isn't his slave in it. since i prefer him when he's not his slave anyways. but those are things i can live with ya know?  it'd also be cool if they Could film it at the original Estate like the show did. i know the show was filmed in New York. but i'm referring to the interior when they went to Lyndhurst. isn't it called? if they are able to film inside that

than i think that'd be great.

i agree 100% i Do have reservations but it's not against the writer,  since i've never read or seen any of his material to see if he's any good? i honestly have no idea. i also didn't hear that the previous script was very funny. that's the 1st i've heard of that. well i guess if they choose a different writer hopefully he LEAST knows what "DS" is & what type of show it was. & is.


i also hope he's a fan as well. cause i think Fans of this or that show tend to do a better job than if they aren't.  anyways people also say the same thing about books that get made into films. they expect EVERYTHING to be in it. well some do anyways. such as "The Dark Tower" series buy "Stephen King" personally i'd love to see that either as a film. or a tv series for HBO. that'd i think would be Perfect for the format. maybe a guy like Alan Ball for that one. anyways, that's for another thread. my points that's also why i have this atitude. i worry like everyone else does about how DS is going to make it in a film. to bad "Dan Curtis" has since passed away cause than he'd ease our minds. i just hope the film doesn't come out in (2013) as the latest news says. that's a bit too far ahead for them to do that. i don't think i can wait THAT Long for them to release the original films on dvd or blue-ray.  it also wouldn't surprise me if MPI did a re-issue of the tv series during that time.  when it's in theatres. that i can understand why they'd do that. but i am THRILLED that the Entire show is on dvd. & that they finished releasing it before all this was announced. ya know?

well for me, i have Volumes, 1. in the "Begining" series in the standard series, i have 1-3, 17-22,24-26 & i also plan on taking FULL advantage of this FANTASTIC sale & buying hopefully a few more. i get paid this week. & i say Fantastic cause have you seen the prices on some websites for the series? they are simply TERRIBLE! full price at Boarders.com well counting tax & shipping. other than that it's $56.00 ,  $70 bucks at "Best Buys" official Site & that's without Tax & shipping. i'm sorry those prices are just plain TERRIBLE! & Especially "Best Buys" i LOVE the show but i'm NOT THAT big of the show to spend nearly $80 bucks on just one volume!  it's just NOT worth it.


no show is.
