Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins in Dark Shadows

Episode #118 for Dark Shadows, in which our protagonist likes Depp, Pfeiffer and not much else. He postulates this is his fault as he was expecting a comedy to be funny. He also for once wishes the trailer had been accurate.

You're totally right about the end being random. They pulled out the deus ex machina, like, five times. Totally cheap.

Further proof that endings are sometimes the hardest things to do!

I can't believe that Black Knight was referenced, or honestly that you have even seen that, Widge. (and yes, I am embarrassed that I immediately knew which film you were talking about).
