D'oh. P-C, I admit I didn't click on your link b/c I didn't know what it linked to.
It could have been a sparkling goatse dude, for all I know.
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I am totally and tangentially validated!
Reading the stuff I love, don't hate me for it posts, I was coming to the end to confess my one true passion for Van Helsing in all its craptastic glory when no less a pop culture hero then herself, Cleolinda, said the very same thing.
hahaha. I'm off to pet my copy.
Van Helsing provided more entertainment value than most of the good movies that came out that year. Endless hours of fun to be had mocking it!
Bram Stoker's Dracula is my Van Helsing. Costume porn! Saturated colors! Victoriana!
But Keanu Reeves' horrible accent wasn't nearly as fun as Kate Beckinsale's. I expected her to declare that after they caught the werewolf, she would begin hunting Moose and Squirrel.
Heh.
I don't think Keanu even tried for one in Dracula. It was painful in Dangerous Liaisons.
I like Jacob more than Edward. Edward is sexy(sparkling aside!) but he is a moody fucker and I couldn't date him. And I can't believe I really read that shit!
Oh man, but that "See me" moment in Bram Stoker's Dracula did me right in. Uber sexy! Maybe it was the top hat. I don't know.
I enjoyed the Twilight novels in all their silliness. I don't quite get why it's one of the most popular threads on the message board I run (which has naturally mutated over time, as tends to be the case, from Spring Awakening-centric to teenagers-run-amok) but I found them amusing. I will probably see the movie, if for no other reason than because the girl playing Alice (my favorite character) looks exactly like my imaginings of her.
Thing the second: Oscar is hilarious.
Sarduccis, SIT!
