Van Helsing

[liadnan]

Having nothing better to do (cancelled party, nothing to hand I feel like reading, no energy to do anything and Saturday night TV is rubbish) I just sat here and watched the DVD of Van Helsing I picked up for a couple of quid in some sale or other. Rather to my surprise, I enjoyed it immensely. Admittedly this was through a haze of painkillers and whisky but surely no one ever thought this was supposed to be taken seriously? It's just a vast mishmash of in-jokes.

My shoulder's no better, and I now have a streaming cold, which makes me sneeze epically (is this a word, and if so, is it spelled like this?) every five minutes or so, thus causing spasms through the shoulder... I hate my life and everybody in it. Apart from the beautiful women obvs, but I have a nasty suspicion they're hallucinations.

does it really matter? Corsets!!! That was the only thing that made watching Underworld bearable and after that, I started believing they can make any film watchable.

I'm afraid it matters from my point of view. Call me shallow if you will. ;-)

(Haven't seen Underworld.)

ah! I'm afraid that when it comes to corsets I have no preference. I'm even shallower, as you can imagine (something about seeing Rocky Horror Picture Show at a tender age and ... erm.. Battle of the Planets even earlier).

Underworld is probably the only film I can imagine that has to be watched after getting totally drunk. After a while not even the corsets could save it. But that's just my opinion...

Battle of the Planets conjures up some strange images. There's Jupiter, he's off to have a go at Saturn now for not returning the lawnmower...

As for films, c'mon, there's a whole range of them. Can you imagine Battlefield Earth if you're sober, for example? :)

LOL - And I thought they were arguing over who gets the most meteors....

Erm - I can, actually. And, you are right. Perhaps if I were drinking when I was trying to watch that, I might have been able to finish it. Thing is, I usually avoid going to the cinema to see such films. I wait for the DVD or for them to be shown on TV. Underworld I went to see in a theatre. Very bad idea!!!
(but Kate Beckinsale's corset-clad bosom had seem so tempting in the trailer...)
