| Stateside they are showing commercials for the upcoming movie about Van Helsing as in Vampire killing. Do the commercials appeal to you to go see this movie? |
| Posted by: CelticRose 26-Apr-2004, 11:31 PM |
| Yes! I absolutely LOVE Hugh Jackman in long hair. In fact, I can see him as Jamie in my Diana Gabaldon books! I absolutely love the man! Deep in smit.......I am! I know this sounds shallow but could care less what role he plays as long as he keeps that long hair..........sigh......in love! |

Gee, Rose, one almost gets the impression you like long hair!  |
| Posted by: tsargent62 27-Apr-2004, 05:19 AM |
I'd like to see the movie. It's not about Hugh Jackman for me. Kate Beckinsdale. Now that's a woman!  |

| I'll be there on opening night to see this movie. I can't wait. And you're very right about Hugh Jackman. Very hot with long silky tresses. |

| We are all hoochie mama's under the skin! I find few women who don't like the long hair on a man...especially when you put it with a few muscles...Diana G material! The movie looks hot to me! |

| I used to LOVE anything (movies, books, etc) along the vampire line. But I guess getting older & kids does something to you, not to mention the pocketbook. I doubt I will be going to see it. Maybe when it comes out on pay per view. |

I have nothing to add...except: I second that  ! |

| Gabby, where are you getting those emoticons from? I've been seeing a bunch from you that aren't on the list I see. |

| One issue I have with society in general is when people call Dr. Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein. The monster doesn't have a name. Check this out for verfication: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0021884/ |

 Yes! 3Ravens! I love long hair on a man!  Well not all, but some men just look better in it than others and Hugh Jackman is one of those! Gabby! Where are you getting these emoticons from? I thought maybe Paul added new emoticons but I see he has not!  Pretty cool!  Hope he copies them from you! |

I saw where this is opening on May 7th and I told my Wife, I was going with or without her. She hasn't made up her mind about it. She is not really into that kind of thing.  Maybe I can get my Son to go with me, he is into that.  |
| Posted by: tsargent62 28-Apr-2004, 06:17 AM |
| I don't think I could get my wife to go with me, either. I'm not sure my son would go, he might. I'll probably end up seeing this one solo. |
| Posted by: TripsMom 28-Apr-2004, 09:00 AM |
| Yes, yes, yes! I saw a longer trailer when I saw "Love Actually" and it looks great. My husband would never go but my sister and I both love vampire movies/books, etc. |
| Posted by: PoniesRGr8 03-May-2004, 04:28 PM |
I'll definitely see it eventually. The plot looks interesting, and I'm a fan of Hugh Jackman  ~*Sarah*~ |
| Posted by: CelticRose 03-May-2004, 05:08 PM |
Hugh Jackman has cut off his hair!  Still want to go see the film and drool over the man! |
| Posted by: Annabelle 03-May-2004, 08:42 PM |
| First, Tripsmom I like your avatar. very pretty! Don't worry CR Hugh will make another movie and he'll grow his hair back out just for you. I'm sorry he cut it too. |
| Posted by: CelticRose 03-May-2004, 09:20 PM |
Can you believe that Hugh Jackman cut off his hair? I mean! Could his wife not see he looks more gorgeous with those long locks? Yes, us women would be lusting after him, but so would his wife.............a least I would think  How could any woman not?!  |
| Posted by: Danann 04-May-2004, 08:22 AM |
| Hugh Jackman cutting his hair is a crying shame... But I'll be there opening night with my honey right beside me. Its funny... he and I started dating because we were always over at each other's place watching Buffy or Angel. |
| Posted by: Siobhan Blues 04-May-2004, 08:59 AM |
| I liked Angel a lot too, until last season where it turned into too much lust and too little storyline - the story with Cordelia seemed lame. I quit watching it so now I don't even know how Angel ended up in the Wolfram & Hart building. And when did Gunn grow hair? And how Fred got blue, I'm afraid to ask... Now with just a few episodes left I'm back, almost wishing I hadn't abandoned it last year because its such fun seeing Angel and Spike & their verbal sparring!  Now as far as Van Helsing goes, I can't wait!! I've had a crush on Hugh Jackman since the first X-Men movie. What a hunk!!! |
| Posted by: CelticRose 04-May-2004, 08:24 PM |
| He's even more of a hunk with the long hair in this movie! Wow! He may compete with Jason Patric! |
| Posted by: corrigan 05-May-2004, 11:43 AM |
| Oh yeah, Hugh Jackman in any role, long or short hair! To catch you up to Angel. Last Season Cordy was taken over by an amoral higher power, the whole season, that's why she seduced Connor. The higher power needed a "vessel", Cordy's baby. The higher power is born and named Jasmine. Ensuing events totally mess up Connor's already fragile mental (raised in demon dimension, father kills father, then father had betrayed father, etc.). Jasmine is defeated and Wolfram & Hart come to Angel with a proposition. Take over Wolfram & Hart to run as you will, no strings, you can even use the resources of W & H to for good. Angel agrees with a secret bargain between him and W&H. Change reality so that Connor is raised by "normal family" and wipe everyones memory, but Angel's. This Season Connor is happy. Gunn accidently betrays Fred (I don't know how, didn't see it). Fred is killed and her body taken over by yet another higher power (that's why she's blue). Gunn is now in a demon dimension (didn't see that either). I am very sad to see Angel go... |
| Posted by: Danann 05-May-2004, 12:05 PM |
| iI can fill in some of the how gaps... Gunn betrays Westley and Fred (lovers this season) by signing a customs document to get a shipment into the country in exchange for keeping his W&H inhanced brain. He became Mr. Lawyer extrodinare earlier in the season. The thing that was brought into the states is the thing responsible for killing Fred and unleashing Illyria (the goddess that is blue). Gunn was in a demon dimention in order to save Leslie... that's right W&H star Angel hater from Season 1&2. He has some sort of connection with the Senior Partners that they are making him pay in the hell dimention, and Angel needs him to tell him about the senior partners... hince the rescue mission, but one man had to stay behind... Gunn. Illyria rescued him though, and now he's ticked off at Angel for not protecting a woman's baby from sacrifice in 13 years. This season has been so good compared to the horrbilly dark season last year... Angel even became a puppet in this season. It was hillarious! |
| Posted by: gaberlunzie 06-May-2004, 12:39 PM | ||
REALLY???? Well, these words out of your mouth mean a lot... The movie is starting here this weekend and I will try to get to see it during the next few days!  |
| Posted by: Siobhan Blues 07-May-2004, 12:31 PM |
| WOW - thanks everyone for filling me in on what has happened on Angel! I really appreciate it. I didn't know about so much of what you've just told me... But of all things, one episode I fortunately DID see was the puppet one, and I laughed until my sides hurt! Angel as a puppet-vampire sent me into the floor in hysterics. You've got to understand, for about 14 years I was a puppeteer with a group at my church (this was back when I was a teenager, and my sweetheart & I were active with the group even after we got married and had a son) so I really like to see good puppet performances. Jim Henson was brillant, with the Sesame Street stuff and also the Muppets later on... they still hold a special place in my heart. So to see the gang on Angel puppet-tized simply made my week!

| SPOILER INCLUDED. LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BUT INTEND TO SEE. The movie isn't bad. Bit over the top with the thunder storms. Flashing lights and over loud thunder gave me a headache. Oh yeah, and they're getting a bit type cast no? She in another Vampire movie falling in love with him being wolfy again. Sheesh, he even does the SHING thing with the claws and scapes a wall. |
| Posted by: CelticRose 13-May-2004, 02:43 PM |
| I have a friend who went to see Van Helsing and she said she laughed all the way through it.............and it isn't even a comedy! |
| Posted by: Siobhan Blues 14-May-2004, 08:40 AM |
| Hey, we laughed during Van Helsing too - it simply can't be taken too seriously! Waaay too many cliches & stereotypes... sure the monsters are kinda scarey and sure we jumped a few times, and we did do the 'awww, poor thing' about the Frankenstein monster, but all in all VH seemed just a fun movie designed to entertain. My son used to do role-playing games online, and he was really interested to see what the werewolves looked like since that's the kind of character he used to be. He really thought the werewolf(s) looked great but thought they ought to have a tail... I on the other hand thought their ears were too pointy. We got into a funny debate about THAT one! |
| Posted by: CelticRose 14-May-2004, 04:22 PM |
| I saw Hugh Jackman on a talk show this morning...............oh boo hoo! He cut off those beautiful long locks or took off the wig..........either way....boo hoo! He is still handsome though either way! |
| Posted by: Angel Whitefang (Rider) 15-May-2004, 02:23 PM |
| The whole family is going to see this one ! Wehn the Trailers come on we all stop what we are doing just to see it. |
| Posted by: Annabelle 15-May-2004, 03:23 PM |
| Washington Post didn't give the movie very good reviews...it's a shame. I haven't been to see it but everytime a movie gets poor reviews I tend to like it...go figure. Annabelle |
| Posted by: Richard Bercot 15-May-2004, 03:41 PM | ||
Same here Sis, When are the Big City Folks do not have the same taste in thing as us Country People?  |
| Posted by: Annabelle 15-May-2004, 04:02 PM |
| Yea, we be different I guess. |
| Posted by: gaberlunzie 16-May-2004, 11:13 AM |
| I've been to the theaters last weekend and saw the movie...it was worth it, really! Besides of Hugh Jackman as van Helsing I loved "Dracula"...as it was already said before : He was a blast!! |
| Posted by: MDF3530 16-May-2004, 06:55 PM |
| I went to the local theater to see "Van Helsing" today. I went to the matinee. I was suprised to see Faramir from LOTR as Hugh Jackman's sidekick. It was nice that writer/director Stephen Sommers gave Frankenstein's Monster a personality, and did not make him a mindless brute. |
| Posted by: tsargent62 17-May-2004, 08:13 AM |
| Saw "Van Helsing" this past weekend. Good flick! Stunning animation. The monsters all looked so real. The fight scene at the end was amazing. Kate Beckinsale was HOT! I agree with what someone said about solving the mystery surrounding Van Helsing. I definitely got the sense he was very ancient. He made mention of remembering something about battling Roman legions. The whole "left hand of God" reference was puzzling/mysterious. That's the only beef I have, though. Thoroughly enjoyed it. |

That just leaves it open for a sequel..... |
| Posted by: barddas 17-May-2004, 08:40 AM | ||
That was my favorite part of the film. It made you think about what was going on his head. It made me think of the Boris Karloff version, and how that could have been a film to do ...from Frankenstiens eyes.... It was touched upon...but not to that extent...... |
| Posted by: tsargent62 17-May-2004, 08:57 AM | ||
I thought of that, too. It would be interesting to see what kind of bad boy monster they could go after that would be worse than Dracula. It would have to be as bad or worse for a sequel. Not sure if it's doing well enough at the box office for a sequel, though. Its initial receipts were good, but it's tapering off quickly. |
| Posted by: MDF3530 17-May-2004, 03:50 PM |
| One word: PREQUEL. |
| Posted by: CelticRose 17-May-2004, 06:01 PM | ||
What????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Faramir was in the film? I LOVE Faramir! Well that's it! I must go see this film! |
| Posted by: tsargent62 17-May-2004, 07:10 PM | ||
Oh, yeah. He played a funny character. I didn't recognize him. Look for the friar that tags along with Van Helsing. |
| Posted by: tsargent62 17-May-2004, 07:11 PM | ||
OOOOOO! I like it! That would be so cool! |
