#pluto is the family dog too obviously... actually where did pluto go? Is he still at traverse town in the manga-canon?

[r0semultiverse]

"Who is Sora's father?"

I feel like the answer to that is fairly obvious. 👀

Axis + Prussia and Allies + Canada playing Sims with their lover who loves the Sims (I’m asking this cause I love Sims)

... I will not lie I have Sims and the fact I haven't made me and Russ is dissapointing at best. Going to have to fix that...

Allies and Axis (Prussia and Canada): Play Sims with their S/O!

Allies:

America:

His sims is immediately friends with everyone, especially that goth family.

Has more friendships with the children and is pretty much a babysitter.

Definitely cheated to get the most money because he didn't have patience to earn it.

SPACE CADET TIME! His sims room is space Everything, and an American flag if possible.

He made his Sim look like him, obviously.

Has a doggo named Pluto.

When he felt like he accomplished what he wanted he decided to go and murder the neighbors because he wanted their house, and couldn't have it.

He has split the house in two so his S/O can decorate the way they want! Always compliments them too!

Him and his S/O made a roulette wheel that usually causes chaos and breaks the game.

England:

He made both his S/O and him as sims and they share a file.

Was a mistake because his S/O filled his house with plants, and he couldn't figure out how to sell them all.

Had to restart.

His Sim works as a freelance writer.

The house is pretty much a mystery murder mansion, where he actively gets people killed only to play detective.

Doesn't ever go well.

Has kept a room specific for his S/Os plants.

France:

Spends most of his time decorating, and editing his sims.

His wall decorations consist of nothing but paintings his Sim painted.

Nothing else

He didn't really want his Sim to be so flirty with literally everyone.

Still laughs when his Sim gets slapped.

Has no clue how to build a second floor, and his S/O chose to let him suffer

His house changes theme every couple of weeks.

His S/O logged on one day to the whole house filled with books like a giant library with death casually eating a hot dog.

Confusion resumed.

China:

He had to choice the highest paying job, and has the prettiest house.

He made a whole family with his S/O.

The children are Panda 1 through 5.

They lost two of them the first couple days due to the amount of filth that piled up.

One child kind of just, left and didn't return?

As a joke, his S/O locked his Sim out of the bedroom and he couldn't figure out how to get back in.

He did know how to rebuild the house.

The goth child scares him.

Russia:

Absolutely loves the game.

They made themselves as sims, and after a week or two his S/O had to interview Russia as to why there was 3 kids in the house all of a sudden.

Was painfully upset there was no sunflowers.

But has a garden of deadly plants, and a single cow plant.

He has taken it upon himself to kill all the Sims, Despite his S/O protest

Thinks the goth family is cool, so they die last ^J^

Has an ungodly amount of cats.

One of them is named Kot.

Canada:

He's a major vanilla player.

Also just let's his sims do whatever they want, and it's funny to him.

Doesn't call it Sims. He kikes calling it the babysitter simulator.

His S/O showed him the cow plant.

He wants 5 and has named all of them.

Also has a dog named Bruce.

Axis:

Germany:

It's already cannon that he plays work simulators.

So his Sim does nothing but work, farm, and sleep

Accidentally killed his Sim because he managed to trap it in the bathroom, and forgot about it.

He likes walking away from his game so he can pick up after the messes the Sims make.

When his S/O plays with him, he Pretty much does what they want.

They share a sim, and he had a nice chuckle when he logged on to the whole house covered in pink.

Pranks consist between them now.

Japan:

Has way to many Mods.

Knows how to get away with murder and steals stuff rather than buying it.

He loves watching his S/O play, it makes him happy.

Knows how to play, but doesn't because he spends most of his time being a sneak and cheating the system.

Dogs. So many dogs.

He adopted a random child of the street and named it KawaiiKaiju as a joke.

Loves pranking his S/O on their shared file.

He turned the whole house into a maze and the both of them enjoy tormenting the Sims

Did I mention they have two sims who are the male and female versions of Hatsune Miku?

Also spent way too much time on that.

His S/O spent a month not knowing about the secret attic that he built for their sims wedding.

Italy:

Finds the game relaxing, and loves watching them be all chaotic.

He really wanted a child sim, and his S/O made an old sims.

The house is run by Italy's sim.

Was sad when his Sim grew up, but filled the void by flirting with the goth mom.

That's his wife now.

She actually killed him one week after marriage and he doesn't know why, neither does his S/O.

Loves the kitty cats in the game.

Has three cats.

His S/O has to take control very often to avoid him breaking the game.

They did make one of the prettiest gardens in the game though.

Prussia:

Made his Sim as evil as possible, but his S/O's sim is just as bad.

Neither him or his S/O have a plan, and it's just chaos.

His S/O made the mistake of letting him decorate the house

It's a mess and nothing makes sense.

And he's made it so it takes any sims trying to rob them virtually impossible.

Other than that he prefers to let his S/O take over

He loves seeing how their mind works, and enjoys seeing them happy.

He hits top level mechanic and moves on to mathematics for fun.

Their sims had a child and Prussia named it Awesome JR.

Day 02 - Epcot

TLDR: Epcot. A slightly later start today though a pretty full and non stop day once we began. Spaceship Earth up first, squeezed into the Ellen's Energy Adventure, then Test Track with a touch of competitive spirit. Living with the Land, Circle of Life and then Soarin’ in quick succession. Finished off with the new ride - Frozen Ever After and decided to skip out on World Showcase in favour of heading straight to Miller's Alehouse for my first proper meal of the trip. Walmart, then home, early (earlier).

The future is what you make it!

Sooo Robert had been unimpressed by the shops we had visited to far, mainly because they didn’t stock Pokemon cards. With the thunderstorms last night, we promised we visit Walmart first thing, which we did prior to picking up my Mum & Dad for Epcot. That meant skipping breakfast. Again. Picked up a wee rucksack so we could carry around all our rain jackets and little extras. Robert got his Pokemon cards and Gracie managed to find yet another collectable in the form of Hatchimal miniatures. Patrick and I had been speaking prior to the holiday about another card collection called Magic: The Gathering, but neither me nor him knew much about them. He picked up a starter pack to have a look. As someone who like his RPG and Fantasy things, I was a little intrigued. I dont think it will take Patrick long to become an expert.

Swung back around to pick up my Mum and Dad who were waiting for us at their Hotel with coffee in hand - result! The other party (which I'll cover in just a sec), were heading to Mass first and planned to catch us up at Epcot when they were done. So let me backtrack a little and explain who is actually all here as I havent yet done so and were already two days in - thats just impolite, so sorry.

Fifeteen of us in total. First off we have our wee family of five, Me, Ann, Patrick, Robert & Grace - Ive went on at length about all of us at some point in the past - yeah, you know who we are. Then its my mum and dad, Sadie & Wullie, Orlando veterans and all round great parents. My brother Michael is up next, with Sarah Jane, Corrie, Alessio and their wee baby who recently had her first birthday - Isabella. And finally we have my sister Pauline with Kevin & Emily. Both Emily and Isabella are first timers to Orlando and all things Disney, so makes it an extra special visit. Ourselves and my parents share the first car, My brother, sister and their families share the second. I'll refer to the latter as 'the other party' at times but this is entirely for brevity. Now, back to the story...

We ended up getting to Epcot around 10:30 which was right in time for our first Fast Pass - Spaceship Earth. A big slow moving train through the anals of Civilization, located in the big multi-faceted ball that Epcot is renowned for. Y'know its a fairly simple ride and I've done this it a fair few times now, but this like many others, never ceases to amaze me. If you've ever seen Inside Out, I imagine this whole place to be a core memory and have its own wee island somewhere in the depths of my brain, churning out little orbs of Joy. If you haven't seen Inside Out, then all of what I've just said will sound really really weird, but trust me - go watch it. Good start to the day!

Hey You Guys! 

Next we checked out Test Track but it was down for some unknown reason, so grabbed some coffee and pastries will we waited for the other party (that being, oh wait right we did that already, didn't we?). By the wonders of Whatsapp and Feel at Home from Three (shameless plug), Kev let us know that they'd arrived and we arranged to met them back at the entrance. We'd coordinated our t-shirts today, those being our new Celtic Champions 6-in-a-row tee :) which made it real easy to spot them. On the subject of attire, zipped pockets - how amazing are they? I know I sound like I'm getting old, but they're definitely the way to go if you're on holiday!

Ann really hurt her eye over the course of the morning and it was progressively getting worse as time went on. I suggested that she patch over her eye to give it a rest, however this led me to call her One Eyed Willie, which didnt go down to well, so stopped in fear of my life (or having to walk the plank - right, sorry Ann, that was the last one, promise ;) x )

Next we headed to Ellen's Energy Adventure, a big moving cinema all about th wonders of energy hosted by the hilarious Ellen DeGeneres & Bill Nye, the science guy. Funny as well as factual too, couldnt go wrong.

Now came Test track, a ride where family loyalty went out the window as we went head to head to design the most efficient car. Super fast, fun ride and good to see the competitive spirit from everyone - even Gracie was doing a little trash talking (well she was in my team, otherwise I wouldn't have encouraged it ; ). In the end, we failed to hit top spot, but our car was easily the best looking one out the lot (all designed by my lovely co-pilot Gracie).

Scores on the doors were as follows:

Ann, Kevin & Pauline - 208 Michael, SJ & Emily- 205 Me, Dad & Grace - 204 Patrick, Robert & Corrie - 156 (who intially claimed 226 - what a bunch 'a chancers!)

All  in all great fun and everyone loved it (especially Gracie who wanted go back on it straight away).

Living With The Land Fast Pass (on the other side of the park) up next, which we made it with 5 minutes to spare. Nice boat ride about farming and such (seriously) with Patrick even enquiring about the Behind The Scenes tour (or Behind The Seeds as they called it) - he just loves learning new things! He also managed to spot 2 hidden Mickeys on the ride (thats disguised Mickey symbols all over the Disney parks) -  so well done PG!

Quick stop at The Circle Of life, a wee environmental film featuring The Lion King's Simba, Timon & Pumba, which began with the song of the same name. That song gives me goosebumps every single time! *shudder*

After that was Soarin', which we had passes for, but everyone wanted to ride so meant we had to split up into two groups, one to watch Isabella while the other went on the ride. While we were waiting to ride (with views of an cool looking India Jones-esque style journey being mapped out on the screen before us), Robert asked the attendant out of the blue if we could get in the first row - good ole Ro! :)

This ride was Epic - its the only word to describe it. Flying through the air, over different landmarks of the world aking in hugs vistas, they even had different smells. Everyone loved it and even my Dad rearked it was the best ride yet as we walked off the ride.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

During the wait and switch-over of groups we came to the decision that the five of us and my mum and dad would head home after the last ride and try getting a proper bite to eat when it was a little quieter, whilst, Pauline, Michael & Co would remain in the park and finish off the remaining rides.

So onward it was to Frozen Ever After, Epcot's newest ride based on the extremely popular Disney movie and set in Norway (well Epcot's mini representation of Norway on their World Showcase). On our way, we bumped into Pluto (the dog, not the planet-oid-y thing), so used the opportunity to grab our first character autograph! Kids were really excited! There was a Disney Photo-pass photographer there too so managed to get some nice groups shots (except for ours, so had to use one of my own photos here as a backup).

The ride was a great little boat trip through the Kingdom of Arendelle with Anna and Elsa (who is my favourite princess without red hair, ok ok, she isnt really a princess, yeah I know, but still). Even the Snow-gies made an appearance! And with the ride came another ride photo from the Memory Maker - excellent! :D The kids loved it and Emily was skipping out of the ride singing Let It Go at the top of her voice! :)

So we said our goodbyes and left the other party then, who planned to continue their travels around the World Showcase and possibly grab Spaceship Earth, which they missed, on the way out. The World Showcase is an awesome thing, but I think the allure of a hearty meal after a long day was far too tempting for us.

We headed straight to Miller's Alehouse from the park in an attempt to avoid the queues and wait times... which we did! However once we were seated and after a quick scan of the menu - the Snow Crab that Gracie had set her heart on to share with me was no longer on the menu - she was more gutted than me! :( In its place I opted for a nice wee Flat Iron Steak & Coconut Shrimp combo, which was awesome. Grace and Ann chose to share the 35 Shrimp menu item (which was 35 shrimps funnily enough) and Grace inhaled about 18 of them. Man, that girl loves her seafood! The Nacho starter that Ann thought she might need however was an absolute mountain and in the end, defeated all of us (its really big enough for two peeps to share as a main meal if Im being honest). The food and menu options in the place are second to none so were definitely planning a return visit in the next few days with our entire group!

A second trip to Walmart rounded off the day in order that we could take a slightly more relaxed look at what they had to offer. The last time I was here I picked up some amazing Cinnamon Pecan coffee, but alas they appeared to no longer stock it or any equivalent. The boys picked up more trading cards, Grace picked up more Hatchimals and we got a variety of non-essential items including a Star Wars decal for the car, a Pecan pie (obviously I have a thing for Pecans) and some Harley Quinn Comics (and I have a thing for her too ; ). Had a look at the laptops too, which were ridiculously cheap, so toying with the idea of picking one up, but Ill need to do some in-depth investigations first.

Rest day on the cards for tomorrow with shopping planned in the am, so should a relatively quiet one. I'm kinda looking forward to it in all honesty, following the two successful but extremely packed days we've all had.

random tv, movies, and language headcanon dump

i’ve mentioned before, but junpei’s a huge movie buff and will pretty easily geek out when movies are mentioned. Some of his knowledge is near-encyclopedic, and you can convince him to watch anything so long as it’s considered relevant to movie history. gonna list off a few things that I know he’s fond of, obviously i can’t list everything because it’s not 2029 yet (and ironically i don’t watch that many movies)

back to the future. his absolute fave movie. This fucking nerd even bases his underwear choice off of that movie. i love him.

The Matrix, Alien. Both are referenced in canon, they’d be pretty old by the time 2029 comes around but both are considered pretty revolutionary movies and he’d be a big fan.

Wall-E. I’m not sure why, i just really feel like he’d love Wall-E. it’s a brilliant movie and a cute love story, i feel like he’d watch it a lot as a kid.

his fave 2d animated disney film i could actually see being Lilo and Stitch. the themes on family and friendship would’ve resonated a lot with him as a kid, because his parents weren’t exactly there that often.

he doesn’t tell anyone, but he does really enjoy the disney princess movies too. He loves Mulan, and I could see him really liking Beauty and the Beast.

there’d be a lot of Japanese films too, but I’d need to do a lot of research and watch a bunch before I could accurately guess which Junpei’d like most. As well, I have a feeling he’d enjoy Hong Kong action movies quite a bit. For horror, I feel like he’d probably prefer psychological horror pre-999, and post-999 he ends up watching more jumpscare/gorefest movies as a coping mechanism.

for TV:

 he’s definitely a fan of Giant robot shows. Probably watched Evangelion a good few times, and he keeps up with every Gundam series. (probably has a model collection of Gundam garage kits at home)

He also likes sentai shows, especially when he was a kid. (he found out about the power rangers as a kid and was like ‘whoa cool more sentai stuff’)

he watched smile! precure as a kid once, after Akane gave him a precure barrette for his dog Pluto as a gift. It actually got him into magical girl shows, and he’ll watch an episode if nothing else is on. He genuinely enjoys sailor moon, and he’s got a soft spot for all the precures due to nostalgia.

that’s all that comes to mind off the top of my head, but yeah. Junpei is a tsundere nerd who’d never admit to liking most of these, and he’ll take the fact that he likes precure to his grave. He’s a huge fan of older movies and likes to watch all the classics, he genuinely enjoys black and white movies and silent movies also. (He’s got some parts of Casablanca memorized from rewatching it).

I like to think that Junpei actually first learned to speak english a lot from movies. He had classes in school but he only really started to understand it through media, because it gave things context and was actual conversations. As well, he didn’t really use social media much until he was in middle/high school, and he’d equally explore english and japanese websites (but he did stick a lot more to the japanese ones, at least until late high school).

By the time he’s in university, he’s clearly fully fluent in both languages, if you asked me the events of 999 probably took place in Japanese, but VLR and ZTD are clearly in english. ( i know santas got that line where he’s like “any of you fuckers speak japanese? no? well listen up you little shits” but i just find it even funnier if they’re actually speaking japanese at that point so sue me). It’s never made entirely clear where he lives when (just that he grew up in Japan), but for the sake of this blog he lived in japan both before and after the nonary game, up until the point where he was brought to citta.

spoilers under this point, because im going more into his future.

for post safe!ZTD, it completely depends on the ending for where he ends up living. for first come, first saved, he ends up staying in america with Carlos to train with SOIS, and after some time moves in with Carlos and Maria. For Apocolypse, he also stays in America, in a fallout bunker with Carlos and a few other survivors. In CQD-1, he returns to Japan after finally speaking to Aoi, and in CQD-2, he goes to wherever the fuck Crash Key’s HQ is. I can’t think of any other endings where Junpei gets out alive...

adding to that however, if we go by infinite timeline probability, there are probably plenty more where he dies, either killing himself to let Aoi and Carlos out, or he gets murdered. Throwback to the time where he attempted to commit suicide directly after proposing to Akane and telling her that he loved her, and directly after she got furious at him for dying to save her.

(you bet your ass I included that in the safe!au with Aoi, they dont get engaged but he still piiiissed)

for VLR timeline jump, he ends up being the drunk uncle of the survivor community he lives in. He’s very good at finding alcohol in the wreckage of humanity, just as good as he is at finding spare parts and other things worth money, and nobody really bugs him much about it because who can blame you for drinking afte rthe shit they’ve all been through.

[darkcloud-kcalifornia]

Got something a bit different as far as me reacting to stuff this week.  See last time I queued up a Nanoha episode while I was waiting for Paint.net and Word to load I scrolled down the video listings on Amazon and saw something odd.  Apparently sometime in the early 80s somebody thought it would be a good idea to make a spoopy comedy titled “Saturday the 14th”.  I have never heard of this one before, and the title combined with the time it was made makes me think this would likely best be enjoyed with the company of a couple of robot puppets.  But I don’t have those, so I’m going this one alone.  Welcome to an unexpected bad movie night this Saturday the 14th with… Saturday the 14th.

* Credits ain’t even rolled yet and we already have badly a badly animated wolf and bat in front of a rotoscoped house.  Oh yeah, we’re dealing with “quality” here.

* So we open with creepy pedo vampire named Waldemar (don’t know how I’ll ever remember that name) trying to buy a house, and his wife being annoyed that he’s obviously being creepy pedo vampire in front of the real estate agent.

* So apparently there’s a problem with the house, involving some scene with “gags” about a rich person’s will telling various people to go &^%! themselves, and one couple, John and Mary, inherit a cured house.  The lawyer gags and dies before he can mention what the curse is.  Well, can’t fault the curse for efficiency.

* So apparently the naïve couple and their two kids are now moving into the house the vampire couple wants. The real estate agent tries to assure the vampires the family likely won’t stay for long.  Waldemar’s wife agrees, ominously.

* The family dog Rover decides he wants nothing to do with this place.  And the dog was the smartest of all.

* The son Billy disappears, and the couple assure themselves that this is like when they went to Disneyland and he hid inside of Pluto for 2 hours.  Not Pluto’s house, Pluto.  Guys, I think your son might be a furry.

* Of course shortly after entering the house a mirror falls down and breaks and a black cat runs by. This is a subtle movie.

* Ah, apparently Billy is an electrician furry.  He was just off fixing the fuse box.  Also, the daughter Debbie thinks boarding school sounds good right about now.

* Ah, so the vampire couple are after something in particular in that house.  They are of course being dramatically vague about that.

* Huh, that’s a curse side effect I hadn’t thought of, and yet seems oddly appropriate.  Every channel on the TV is playing The Twilight Zone. I’ll give the movie credit for that one.

* Mary seems surprisingly calm about her efforts to dust off the skull in the pantry.

* Uncle Henry left them a note before he died.  In the fridge.  About not opening “the book”.  I can’t help but feel like it would have been better to tie that note to the book in question.

* Billy of course has found the Book of Evil.  And opened it.  Well at least this movie isn’t likely to go for tree rape, it’s only rated PG.

* John and Mary hear the sound of the real estate agent being mauled outside as they prepare for a lovely night together and assume the screams were an owl.  I ain’t never heard no owl like that.

* Ain’t never seen no owl like that either.

* OK, that was a pretty decent exchange between Billy and John when the kid is screaming about a monster. “Act your age.”  “I am acting my age.  You’re just used to me acting like a grownup.  I’m 10 years old and there’s a monster in here.”

* You can tell when Billy has given up all hope when his dad doesn’t notice the monster standing right behind him.

* And Mary got bit by one of the vampires while John was being useless.

* Billy has discovered that monsters don’t like the touch of the Book of Evil.  Time for good old fashion book bashing.

* It’s got to do wonders for a kid’s self esteem to smack a large monster hard enough they go stumbling out the window.

* Waldemar is convinced that whoever controls the book controls the world.  All hail Overlord Billy!

* I wonder which monster did the dishes.

* Why can’t I ever find rubber gloves large enough for my hands? Monsters apparently don’t have this problem.

* Fin pops out of the bubble bath while certain chords play that aren’t in any way similar to a certain shark’s theme.  I’m sure it’s just a dolphin owl.

* OK movie, did we really need to see a barely teenage girl strip down for her bath?  I sure hope the actress was 18 and just happened to look young.  Because that scene ain’t right.

* Rubber ducky scare.

* Look mister, I don’t care if you’re not going to hurt her or don’t have any interest in her species, you don’t go around accosting young teens in the bath.

* Well, at least one policeman is close enough to try and do something.  Advantage of having one as a neighbor I guess.

* Too bad the creature is freakishly durable, that cop nailed him right between the eyes with that gun shot.

* And the cop’s dead. Too bad, put up a surprisingly decent fight for a “caps are useless” point in a horror movie.

* Billy, if your sister dies now it’s all on you.  You don’t stuff unconscious people into a tub with water, and then after having to drag them out to prevent drowning, try to do it again.

* So after Mary is nearly torn apart by bats owls, John calls an exterminator.  And this exterminator has a Van Helsing working for him. I have the feeling that those other addresses mentioned mean something, but I hardly ever watch horror and thus can’t say.

* Helsing comes by to exterminate the bats (look for the book) and expects a guest room.  And dinner.  You don’t get rid of bats overnight.  Doesn’t anybody have work ethic anymore?

* The monsters are outright gaslighting little Debbie at this point.

* Well Rosemary’s Baby got namechecked at least.

* Van Helsing is now completely convinced, the Book is here.  And he’s now ranting about it at the dinner table.  Awkward conversation topics.  But at least it’s being brought out into the open now and Billy is admitting that he had it and opened it.  Heck if he can find anything after his mom cleaned his room though.

* OK, that one was pretty funny.  After Van Helsing asks John if he as any idea what kind of horrors would be in the house on Saturday the 14th (title drop!) after the Book has been opened, John thinks he should restrict the party guests to just the relatives.

* That night Waldemar uses mind control on the now partially-turned Mary to have her retrieve the book from wherever it was she hid the thing when she cleaned Billy’s room.  Which… is actually a pretty good plan on Waldemar’s part. If anybody knows where the thing is now, it’d be her.

* Ah-ha!  The linen closet!  But as she’s now partially monster she can’t touch the thing.  Which… makes me wonder how Waldemar was planning on using it.  It’s not like he can touch it either if even Mary can’t when she’s still somewhat human.

* Waldemar’s wife is the jealous type.  Not that she’s wrong…

* Monsters are so sloppy. Except for Wolfman.  Wolfman seems to be stuck with the job of tidying up after the others.  I do not envy Wolfman.

* I’m honestly surprised Debbie’s bladder held strong considering she was trying to make it to the bathroom before suddenly getting transported to the kitchen.  Never did make it to that bathroom… er, because she just snuck back to her room, not because she got eviscerated or anything.

* Van Helsing: fully willing to take advantage of the fact that people will believe anything is possible from bubbling, smoky beakers.

* The fate of the world is potentially hinging on their ability to throw a good party so as to collect enough positive energy.  We’re doomed.

* Well Debbie might have avoided an accident last night but unfortunately it seemed her mother ended up soiling the bed. (*ba-dum tssh*)

* Only a minute after meeting John’s relatives and Van Helsing is already convinced these people deserve anything that happens to them tonight.

* Who want to play “find the boy before the world ends”?

* Mary was planning on handling the Book… with oven mitts.  And somebody else took it.  Uh oh.

* Nice of the monsters to leave out the cop’s head where his wife could find it.  Of course everybody in this film has blinders on.

* Who wants to bet Billy just went to the bathroom?

* Oh hey, the real estate agent is undead now.

* You know, the phrase “room temperature IQ” gets thrown around a lot these days, but…

* Oh hey, they found Billy! And he’s got the book!  And is with Waldemar… and wearing a cape…

* And Van Helsing was a villain all along, as he too was in the book.

* OK, I think I just need to stae for the record that random sound effects rather than the usual vampiric hissing do not comedy make.  This scene is just cringe-worthy.

* And so Van Helsing gets his hands on the book to destroy it and thus make sure the monsters can’t be imprisoned again, and that just kills the monsters and Van Helsing.

* And so Waldemar and his wife bid them a fond farewell and Rover comes back.  The End.

 Yeah, that was kind of a crappy ending.  As for the rest of the movie, it was… meh?  Certainly not the worst thing I’ve sat through, and there were a couple of decent jokes and lines in there.  But a lot of the humor derived from how oblivious and stupid most of the people were, and that just gets old after a while.  Still, if you want to watch a cheesy movie with bad effects and acting then feel free to give this one a go.  Just be aware that you’d probably have a better time if you have friends to mock it with.
