Also found this about a special edition version of Van Helsing -

Van Helsing The Ultimate Collector's Edition (about $40) includes two additional discs with more extras: an interactive Frankenstein's lab; the literary and cinematic histories of Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolfman; and, in their entirety, the original Dracula (1931, with Bela Lugosi), Frankenstein (1931, Boris Karloff) and The Wolf Man (1941, Claude Rains).

The originals. How cool.

Hey,

an unrated DAWN OF THE DEAD? Dude, do they mean the original or the remake? Because if it's the original... :looks at just-bought 4-disc SE of DAWN OF THE DEAD, looks around for someone to kill:

And VAN HELSING?! Did it mention a restored cut of Hugh's butt-shot?!!

Gav!

Not to begrudge any deep seated need you might have to feel like a "talentless, overwritten hack", but get over it! *g* Come on, consider the source. You're not exactly dealing with people in possession of a full deck here. They sound about as nutty as the Buffy/Angel twu luv 4eva bunch.

-Indeed I will. I want Hugh's ass, dammit. And seeing it in the film would be good too!

-Well, one was nuts, but the other one seemed more or less rational. I *was* getting a nice, seething grudge going, but I guess I'll drop it. I mean, I've already marked them as spam and blocked them!!

Buffy/Angel?! That's *truly* sick!


Gav!
