New movies undeserving of their own thread - KILLED BY RYAN REYNOLDS

Not so certain about that.

Apparently people who have seen it can tweet reactions or talk about it in general terms, but they can't write in-depth reviews or talk at length about it. All of the tweets that I've seen have simply raved about it.

Heh.

Jesus that looks horrible. It's going to make a fucking mint.

I want to print money just to throw at it.

Seriously, I fucking loved it.

I'm with Troy. That looks fucking awesome.

The Dark Shadows trailer wasn't what I was expecting. I thought/hoped we were getting an old school Gothic horror flick, instead of yet another horror comedy flick. Visually it does look impressive, I must admit.

Eh, if it sucks, I can always rewatch House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows instead.

The original Dark Shadows was pretty fucking funny. Although not intentional. I loved it as a kid.

The Fall of Burton will probably continue...

This looks like an old school Burton flick. I got vibes of Beetlejuice from it. Haters gonna hate.

The music. Oh god why.

It's a period piece and you've got to take special measures not to scare away people with disposable income.


This shit ain't Downton Abbey.

Not a Burton hater, but since Big Fish, the man has done stuff ranging from garbage to shit. I hope I'm wrong, but maybe I won't.

I know, but fuck, man. It still hurts.

You. Me. Same.

Yeah, the original soap opera was campy and shit, but it was a product of its time. They had to make do with what they had, and it could get pretty creepy at times. The film tie-ins took advantage of the larger budgets, and though they felt like TV movies at the time, they delivered as well.

I also got a Beetlejuice vibe as well, along with some Nightmare Before Christmas, etc. It's just that the first pics and early vibe I was getting was Burton was going to deliver a full-on horror flick, like he more or less did with Sleepy Hollow. That's what I was looking forward to the most, and there was a lot more potential in going the horror route than doing a camped out comedy.

I'll likely see it anyway, but it'll come down to whether I see it in the theater or at home, depending on which genre the film leans towards - horror vs. comedy.

CANNOT FUCKING WAIT.

They had me at Udo Kier. And on my brother's birthday, too!
