Saw Resident Evil last night.
There were plot problems with it (of course), but if you like:
Zak films in general,
The 1st 2 ResEv films,
Straight up action/violence

then this is the film for you (as it was for mini-me & me).

Nothin' like a good night's sleep VUMP!

Top two scores as of this morning:

Total votes Firefly: 411,456

Total votes Xena: 393,544

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1,225 times.

Yesterday, Xenites voted 612 times.

(Xenites voted 613 times less than Browncoats, yesterday).

Firefly is 17,912 votes ahead of Xena!

Browncoat votes fell by 261 yesterday, 17.56%; Xenite votes fell by 44, 6.71%.

Now, we shoot for our next big goal, 425,000, which is 13,544 votes away, about 11.05 days at current voting levels.

Further out is half a million, 88,544 votes away, still about 72.28 days out as we are currently voting.

4,360,721 votes have been counted as of 09/22/07. 12,360 were cast yesterday. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 1,236 times, which we fell short of by only 11 votes. We still increased out share to 9.4355039% of all votes ever cast, and climbing.

We're closin' in on that 10% slice of the pie on Rich Labonte's charts! If each of us voting managed to eke out just one more vote per day, it would make a huge difference; we could start catching up on that 10%, not to mention reaching our goal numbers much more quickly.

Our 1000+/day streak is still going strong, at 54 days, continuing to beat our previous best-ever streak! Just 20 days to beat Xena's all-time record of 73 days.

SUASOR

The way the votes are going, Dark Shadows will bump Hercules off the Top 40 within five months. That's a 41 year old show. Gives new meaning to "undead". I wonder if they get help from the Buffy/Angel fans? Is Dark Shadows in syndication, or is it all because of a DVD release? Some of those old shows can pick up a lot of new fans via decades of syndication, plus DVD release.

I suggest you take a look over here:
http://groups.google.com/group/tv_vote/topics

And if you don't find the answers to your questions, post 'em. There's a few active DS'ers over there I'm sure would be delighted to answer your questions.

I suspect there's some natural 'cross over' in the fan groups; but if the 'buffy team' got serious about supporting DS, I think the numbers would be even higher than they are.

Vampire VUMP!

And, as a "Vampire Flan" (Browncoat, first and foremost, though), we appreciate the help, scifigal!

I post daily stats for Dark Shadows on Skiffy at:

http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2285353&pid=4226348&st=60&
#entry4226348

I do wish the Buffyverse fans would take notice; I know Dark Shadows isn't the same kinda witty show that Joss writes, but, the flavor of the show is still pretty darksome, and, I think they'd find a lot in it to enjoy.

Anybody else not using their nominations vote, "Dark Shadows (1966)" could sure use it! As it is, many Dark Shadows fans are voting Firefly, now, especially since I let 'em know we are working on our 1k+ votes/day streak. Coupla weekends I know their votes helped keep us above the 1k line.

ETA: Suasor, mainly it's an active fandom that stays in touch. There have been DVDs, and, Skiffy ran it some time back. However, there is also gonna be a movie next year with Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins, which should also bring "new blood" into the fandom.

Johnny Depp will certainly increase the fan base, especially when it comes to female fans. I believe Dark Shadows got slimed by male critics at the time because it had "Soap Opera" aspects (complex, multi-threaded plots). But most scripted shows now go in that direction. Do it with contemporary dialog, and it will work. Imagine if Joss were writing the script! Heh, heh....

Hi all,

I am brand new to your group but not that new to Firefly or Joss Whedon. I am a huge fan of Dark Shadows, the 1966-71 series, and have been voting for DS for months. Well ever since we learned about TV-Vote website. Ever since Ray came to our Sci-Fi board and posted the stats for DS, I have been voting for Firefly too! Why not? I like the short lived series... who said the networks or the Nielson ratings knew anything? IMO they know very little of what the fans like!

Anyway, if anyone here has seen Dark Shadows, the original with Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins, and liked it back when they were children, please remember us at the TV-Vote Nominations page. Once on the top 40s list, we'll have great competition, I know because there are shows on that list that I love too: Angel, BTVS, CSI, Firefly, House, Xena to name a few.

So if you have any questions about Dark Shadows and why you might vote for us, just ask me.

I thought I'd try to answer this. It is amazing that this 41 year old show is still alive in the hearts of it's fans! Dark Shadows was on the Sci-Fi Channel from the mid-90's to 2003 when it finally stopped showing it in Dec. 2003. I didn't find out about it until 2002 in which I was shocked the Sci-Fi Channel had been running the entire series through several times. That is 5 years of 1225 episodes run repeated, I believe, 2 or 3 times in that span. There are countless websites that are dedicated to fans like this one for the Firefly fans. Oh yes, the DVDs, all 26 boxes, are available starting with the arrival of Barnabas Collins to the end of the series. MPI is now making the first 209 episodes available on DVD to the public. The first 26 boxes are available through various websites that sell DVDs or can be rented through Blockbusters or Netflix.

Thanks for your question. Hope that helps.

I'm going to answer your question first or ask you a question as the answer: "Have you have been nibbled on the neck?

Ok, ok, maybe men don't care for that sort of thing and some vampires desire the stake "rare"! But I have to say Barnabas Collins, Angel and Spike are my favorite vamps.

As far as I know, back when Dark Shadows originally ran, 1966-1971, the fan base were house wives and later millions of pre-teens and teenages, both boys and girls!!! Many of those "boys" are now men who frequent the DS boards and lists. I have to admit, I've met more women than men but they are out there!

Oh and I hear Joss Whedon WAS/is a big fan of DS back when he was a teen too, along with James Marsters and Johnny Depp!! I hear Depp has publicly admitted he's always wanted to play Barnabas Collins so he is a great choice. All the DS fans I've talked with a thrilled with the idea. As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to see Joss Whedon be a writer for that movie!! Tell Depp!!! My one request would be to write something original and NOT the same repeated story that they've done in 1991 and again in 2004 [which was never broadcast].
