Re: ‘Van Helsing’ hmmm :/
[quote=”SadGeezer”]I went to see it with Newkate last night and although the special effects were good I found myself being a bit bored :{ … and lots of other stupid bits that are too depressing to mention.[/quote]
Yep, yep yep.. but it is a LOUD boring. You cannot fall asleep if they keep the volume high enough. (I had ear plugs in so it was still possible for me.) theSpouse even complained about how loud it was…. this coming from a man who normally has his television on the 8th or 9th volume bar.

[b]Bad bits:[/b]
Storyline was total garbage. I mean real stupid stuff!!! It galls me that studio producers probably decided to make a cool film which they then dumbed down for teenagers. I hate being patronised to and this film …. on the whole… was patronising and ended up pissing me off.[/quote]
Even theSpouse noticed that it was every comic book horror plot in history. It was like they tore up a bunch of comic books and then just picked up pages at random tucking them into what for lack of a better word we will call ‘plot’
I liked the vampire babe’s costumes and I thought the guy playing Drac was pretty interesting… but I do wonder that so much of this took place in the winter, yet everyone wandered around without even adding an extra cloak or when they huddled… it was under one thin blanket. Me? quilts and furs would have been heaped on the beds 18″ high!
