RAMBLINGS

Today is the day the travesty known as Dark Shadows spreads it's crap on theater screens. No I have not seen it and I have no plans on watching this cinematic garbage pile.
When I was younger I hurried home to watch this classic gothic soap opera on ABC TV. I simply loved the heavy atmosphere and the monsters were great..you had witches who were sexy as hell, a werewolf, insane people and of course, Barnabus Collins the king of daytime vampire television.
Jonathan Frid was and ALWAYS WILL BE THE ONLY Barnabus Collins.
To have Johnny Depp, a talentless hack, play the role of Barnabus is an absolutely unforgiving thing to me.
Tim Burton has chosen to make this film a comedy which again goes to show you that Hollyweird has NO talet and must therefore steal ideas which have worked before and destroy them in order to make the almighty dollar.
Sadly people will pay for this trite and insidious brain rot and it will probably make money, and to each his own, but it is an insult to this fan of the original show.
Frid passed away in April,and at least he wont have to suffer the idignity of seeing his best role of his career ruined by the inept Depp.
Well, that is my rambling rant..I had to get that off my chest.
LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL DARK SHADOWS!!!!!
