Dark Shadows Returns!

As you can see I completely changed the way my blog looked. I have upgraded from books to space! I thought it matched the title better :)!
Okay so my brain is about to explode with happiness! The new Tim Burton movie coming out is Dark Shadows! I love this show. The one that I know of is a Soap Opera from the 80's. My dad brought a copy of the series home one day out of what I can only presume was Nostalgia and I ended up watching it, thinking that it would be some thing where I made fun of it, dad would get mad, and we would never watch it again. I loved it! The box stays in my room because I watch it so often.

Ben Cross as Barnabas Collins
Anyway, yesterday I was watching The Voice (also a top notch show) and saw the trailer for Dark Shadows, being remade by Tim Burton (a director second only to Joss Wedon)... (Just in case your wondering, yes.. I am a Brown Coat)-Extra points to those of you who understand the Firefly reference without googling it!!!

Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins

So you can see why I am so excited! Its going to be awesome. My classmate Mahalie Mathews is less than ecstatic, however. She doesn't see the appeal having never watched the show. My best friend Krista Dress just wants to laugh at it because she thinks that it is stupid. My other friend Kristen, as in everything, could care less. The only person as excited as I am is my dad. He can't wait. Don't get me wrong I know this movie is by no means going to be serious. Its a comedy. However, it will, at least, have a conclusion. The ones I watched ended on a cliff hanger and it bugs me to this day. In the last episode Victoria Winters came back from the past, knowing that Barnabas Collins was a vampire, they shared a stare and the screen went blank. It. Made. Me. So. Mad. I was furious! They did the same thing with the remake of V. Did any of you watch that show? Another SciFi series, I'm afraid. But still amazing. It was on FOX I believe. There were aliens who came to earth in "peace" but of course they weren't. Fox ended that, and Firefly and I was ready to crack some skulls. The producers who ended firefly are on my list of people who need to pay for their horrible deeds.
So as you can see I have an extreme disrespect for people who end series's for no good reason!
In conclusion I hope you will be in the theaters with me watching what promises to be a Hilarious and amazing movie! Thanks for your time!
