Yes, I was right. The second 45 minutes of Van Helsing is even sillier than the first 45 minutes. I didn’t think it was possible, but the team of six horses jumping over the 100-foot wide yawning chasm, while towing a coach, was definitely a high point. Nice little rip-off of Polanski’s Dance of the Vampires with the vampire “masked ball” in a ballroom with huge mirrors, in which none of the dancers (except the sole human hostage) are reflected.

I’m all discombobulated today. I’m not getting my meals at the usual times because I have to do my workout much earlier so I can do a Full Moon ritual for the Full Moon and total lunar eclipse that are occurring later today. It’s already 50 F (10 C) outside and everything is dripping. I slept really badly last night and I have no idea why.
