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."

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.
