Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

Van Hellsing

Abandon all seriousness, ye who enter here. I thought it would stink, but it's remarkably funny -- to pick on. It hardly takes itself serious with a section like James Bond meeting up with Q:
Now pay attention Van Hellsing. One push on the end of this quill and nothing. Two clicks and a timer goes off, to ten seconds. Your carriage will be equipped with SCUD missles loaded with holy water. We know that Dracula has been seen in this castle. You must use this ... holy dagger of Antioch to kill him at exactly 1:17 am. Is that clear? Oh, and try to return your materials this time!

I watched it thinking about the Superfriends of the early 70s ... it was funny then. I guess it was a persepctive thing.
MR and I ripped it apart, while still enjoying some of its intentional comedy.
