They also showed a 30-minute “Making Of” featurette at the end of the film which I hadn’t seen before. It was a surprise treat to be able to see the movie again before the DVD release and on such a long flight. Made the hours fly by!

I watched a SciFi channel special on Van Helsing last night, and there is a nice bit on David, and the quirky character he plays in the movie. It’s a big change from Faramir, and it looks like he has fun with it! The special, Van Helsing: The Man and the Monsters – A SCI FI Lowdown, will be repeated later in the week. [More]
SemiSilver writes: Last Sunday, my friend Combeferre and I, drove the 1 and a half hour confusing drive to Winchester, Virginia for the Annual Apple Blossom Festival. This year, Special guests Loni Anderson and Sean Astin were to be the Grand Marshals of the festival and were to ride in the parade along with Soap Star Eva LaRue, and other celebrities like Chevy Chase and Kwame Jackson, runner up of the Apprentice.
