Have you seen the new reboot of Dark Shadows, with Johnny Depp as Barnabas? I still haven't, but am looking forward to it when it reaches DVD and/or bargain theatres.

I've seen the reboot. If you are looking for something that carries the mood of the tv series, you will be very disappointed. The movie is a comedy, not a drama. And Depp essentially plays Barnabas as if he's Jack Sparrow.
So don't expect Dark Shadows as we knew it.
That said. it's an amusing movie. But, as I said, I was disappointed.

I haven't seen it but I was wondering if it was going to be anything like the old tv show but I don't think I would bother watching it since Depp is going to be nothing like the original Barnabas . It's just sad and pathetic that the younger generation is going to get the wrong idea about Dark Shadows . I went back in October to see the remake of John Carpenters The Thing and it was horrible and nothing even remotely close to the original . Not even characters , situations , and the " Thing" itself . Besides , the 80s original was way more of a thriller . It's just a waste of my cash to go to a theater and even expect something good . I stick to the comfort of my house and Netflix .. Plenty of awesome thrillers and cult classics that are better than any remake .

Yeah, it lost most of the feel of the old Dark Shadows mythos.

Capricorn

You really have some great ideas today, Cap. The question is whether you dare to put them into action. If you're hesitant about this it's because you suspect that your plans and opinions are too off-beat or unconventional, but are you sure that's true? Discussing them with people you trust could reveal a very different picture and make you realize that you've got your finger on the pulse. Have the courage of your convictions!
