hollywood's turn to disappoint

or maybe my roommate's turn, since he recommended the movies. first it was AVP, which i think i already complained about. and then tonight i watched Van Helsing, which was, in my opinion, a pretty crappy movie. it was the film version of a mixed metaphor, throwing everything from the frankenstein monster to werewolves to dr. jeckel/mr. hyde at the audience, along with a very odd, not-quite-fruity dracula. by the end, i was of the opinion that the only things that made it worth watching were kate beckinsale and the crazy friar, both pictured below.





in totally unrelated news, a friend showed me this picture, and i thought it was hilarious:



and now, as usual, i'm off to work on a paper that i should have been done with awhile ago. g'night all.
