Gerard--I totally agree!  I enjoy PT 1970 in spite of Quentin/Maggie...

Ooh, I love his version of Buzz!  I agree, I think this is totally his own vision of the series.

Did you notice that Buzz is wearing Sebastian Shaw's medallion at one point?  The sun and moon thing?

I would love to see this guy do a whole DS comic... or a series of them... too intelligent and cultured to get a contract though I would think...

I saw and loved Dead Ringer back in the 1990s.  My copy was taped off a television broadcast--I think it was AMC back when they did not have commercial breaks in the films.  Never bothered to rent the DVD so I did not know about the featurette, and I certainly did not recognize Greystone.  Thanks for the info!

G.

Wow.  These are super-trippy.  The Julia drawings are very reminiscent of Ronald Searle, a popular cartoonist and caricaturist in the mid-twentieth century.

Does this guy have a connection to the Depp movie?  If that's Willie as he appears in the new film, the existing casting info for the character is obviously a complete blind since they clearly decided to go with a much younger actor.

OK, there's another Jessica Chastain thread here where it identifies her as the 2004 Carolyn.

I saw the pilot once and I don't even remember Carolyn in it...

G.

Thanks so much for the photo, MB.  I am sorry to hear you had difficulties from the storm.

gratefully, G.

David:  I am afraid the reality is that a shared love of Dark Shadows does not necessarily signal somebody who will become a close friend, or even necessarily a casual acquaintance.  I've met people who told me they were huge fans of DS and often as not nothing came of the meeting.  In some cases, the people just seemed "off" to me in a way that usually makes me less than keen for further contact.  I don't feel the need to go on and on about this.  Every fandom has its share of "God's special children" (to coin a phrase).

I have found that some fans do become friends in a way that is very natural.  A conversation that begins about the artistic genius of Grayson Hall may branch out into other areas of shared interest, and if you keep seeing the individual over the weekend, by the time you're saying goodbye, a friendship is born.

I personally don't think "Friending" someone on F-book is all that significant.  Just my personal take on that site.  I think though if someone expresses views that offend you, you are perfectly within your rights to unfriend them.  In most of the cases there probably wasn't a genuine basis for true friendship in any case.

Just how I see things--your mileage may vary.  Good luck.

Wow.  If what they wrote is true, it sounds as if Tim Burton has become a crazed beret-wearing, riding-crop wielding, pencil-moustached, perpetually irate mad director along the lines of Z. Z. von Schnerk in the legendary Avengers episode, "Epic."

It sounds more to me like cheap taradiddle that may have a partial basis in fact (e. g. the fact that Helena is watching the DVDs may be something she decided to do on her own account, and her stories about them may have made other cast members want to watch too; this then gets twisted into Tim and Johnny demanding that EVERYONE watch the DVDs of the old show).  It's obviously being posted on IMDB to discredit the director and the project, or at the very least to make both look ridiculous.  I wouldn't waste any time pursuing it further.

Just my two drachmae...
