I just saw this weekend that they are doing a Dark Shadows movie with Jonnie Depp. I thought to myself, how many movie goers are even familiar with that show to make it worth doing? RIP.

When people were talking about kids and the Twilight movies, I pointed out that those girls' mothers or grandmothers swooned over Dark Shadows. Nobody knew what I was talking about.

I’ve seen the trailer, and the movie is nothing like the series. More of a comedy. Kind of disappointing.

Tim Burton is talented, but his adaptations (Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland) aren't usually improvements. Likewise, Johnny Depp is prodigiously talented, but his movies with Burton aren't his best work.

Well, at least Barnabas Collins didn't sparkle . . .

It’s kinda weird but I’ve never seen a Johnny Depp movie that I liked.

Or a Tim Burton one.
