The whole planet is deaaaaad.

Liked Van Helsing. It was campy fun, with Stephen Sommers' great directing thrown in (and veryvery pretty cinematography. Sigh). Also written amusingly. Completely adored the character of Carl (I wanna install one in our basement. Timey says it's already full....)

Anna had me from her boots, on. I *want* those boots.

Sadly, have been inspired to re-write the end (it was sappy cheese, damnit. Stephen, my faith in you almost died....). May post that, at some point.

All in all, loved the movie, though. May have to see it again. If only for Dracula's misbehaving hair.

Currently watching Pitch Black. Am amused all over again (shiny lighting!).

Hrm. My feet are not cold.

Anyway. They borrowed Scorpy's makeup job from Incubator for Igor, and the voices for Dracula's minion-midgets from the Daleks. I kept waiting to hear them shriek "Exterminate!" or for Igor to say something coldly profound like, "Come now, Van Helsing, I'm sure we can come to an... amicable... agreement."

I'm sure we could dig a few rooms onto the basement. We need more Boys!

Now you know why I complained about the ending. I mean, I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but how believable is it that she gets thrown through walls and dropped through floors, getting up without even a bruise or a limp, then dies by being thrown on to a couch?

No! Not the comfy chair!

Well, it did sort of hit her right (spine snapped, I think).

But. Yeah. Stupid. Besides, she and Van Helsing could have had lots of vampire/demon/evil creature-killing babies. It would have been fun.

Some idiot parents took their 6 and 8 year old to a PG-13 movie without knowing anything about it at my showing. We walk out and the littlest girl is just SOBBING and her mother kept saying over and over in a very loud voice, "She liked the movie, she just didn't like the end. The girl's not supposed to die. The MONSTERS are supposed to die, not the girl!" I felt like smacking her for being a dumbass in general. And if I'd been going INTO the movie instead of coming OUT of it, I would've been severely pissed. There were entirely too many kids in our showing, and they TALKED the entire time. ("What does THAT mean, Daddy?" was heard often.) I'm so fed up with parents ignoring ratings utterly. I don't mind putting up with kids talking in the audience during an animated movie or a family film, but if the rating is above PG I expect parents to only bring kids who can behave themselves!

What scared me? There was someone there with a *baby*. A fricking BABY, for cryin' out loud!

There were young kids there, too.

And, y'know, I don't normally agree with right-wing lunatics like the guy who does the parental watch movie review things? But, dude. No kids at a pg-13 movie, for god's sake!

Well, a baby's irritating to the audience, but I doubt it's gonna be scarred or otherwise disturbed by the movie itself... still, annoying to the audience.

Point.
