Tim Burton's Dark Shadows turns out to be a comedy.


You were expecting it to be something else?


Yes. A drama.

My favorite Burton movies tend to be dramas.

Not a big fan of vampire comedies like Polanski's Dance Of The Vampires or The Adams Family.

there were vampires in the Addams family?

I know Lily was a vampire in The Munsters but I thought Morticia was just goulish.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

She resembles a vampire but I don't recall it ever being used as a plot element. Plot trumps resemblance in my book.

Okay, so there weren't vampires involved but it was a comedy about a creepy pale-skinned family.

Huh, that was...unexpected. The more I think about it, the less I'm liking this trailer. The film looks terribly sitcom-ey, not really in my tastes...

But, as many have said before me, I'd rather have preferred a gothic Burton drama...

Am I the only person that is happy about the film's tone? Gothic Burton would be one too many. Good to see something a bit lighter for a change.

Karol
From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

No, I can't do it! Wrath Of The Titans looks like pure shit! Djawadi is an awful composer! Lady Gaga is mankind's worst creation since the invention of the wheel!

Oh, and Spielbie's Tintin sucks! And we say "Tintin", not "Tin Tin", like some idiotic crapaholic people think! I don't like those people!

And I don't like you!

I am waiting anxiously for William Henry Harrison the Werewolf Smiter which will surely be the next logical step as a prequel to that Lincoln film. Or maybe they'll film William Howard Taft the Ninja and Pirate Smasher.

Who cares, we've got the original Turtles movie.

They've tried repeatedly to re-invent this series and market it to younger audiences or girls...whatever. It's never been a great success following the first movies and the cartoon. It should be dark a violent when it's on film. It should not be aimed at children, but being compatible with children is fine (even if it freaks them out, like Raph screaming after Splinter is kidnapped).

I wasn't very pleased by this news either. If this is made I really hope to god it fails miserably. I love the 2007 animated movie. I also love the original Turtles film and Turtles 2. I like Turtles 3 to some degree but over all it's not as memorable as the other two. Of course I grew up watching the original Ninja Turtles cartoon series.

EVERYONE knows the origin story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For Michael Bay to try and say they're aliens is complete BULLSHIT. No one is going to believe that, no matter how "good" the plot / story will be. Hell even the makers of the animated 2007 film knew the origin story when they were making it. Hell it was basically a continuation of the original films, even Turtles 3 got recognition at the end when we see Splinter looking at his collection.

Either way as someone who really likes the Ninja Turtles, I for one will NOT be seeing this movie if it is made.

Grant I did sort of have a negativity towards the reboot for Spider-Man. However, after seeing the full theatrical trailer for it, it actually looks promising and I do want to see that.

This though... good god no. Michael Bay just leave shit like this alone!

I don't care that Michael Bay is directing it. Uwe Boll or McG could direct it, I don't care.

I care that he is turning the Turtles into aliens. That's sacrilege.


Then again, aliens are hip and stylish, and might be the only way they could think of to resurrect the franchise without seeming like "same old same old."

Hmmm...so if the only way to resurrect a franchise is to undermine it...DON'T RESURRECT IT!

But on then on the other hand, you are only three people. Hmm...

Perhaps the whole western world is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mad; and it's just me who is out of touch. Hmm...
