I've never read the comics, I just... really LIKED the first movie. It charmed me.

Raise your hand if you're counting the days until HELLBOY 2 comes out.


Random movie anecdote: I once made the mistake of cracking the line "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake," to a group of my peers (18-24, literally) in a team-building exercise. The person I said it to, apparently having never seen the movie in question, looked at me as if I'd just kicked her. So did the group leader: "That's a terrible thing to say." I was like..."Uh, I didn't mean it like that. I was being sarcastic. ...Haven't ANY of you seen Fight Club?" It was an oddly self-fulfilling scene in terms of the movie being referenced.

Hand raised as high as it can go. Ron Perlman rocks my socks, Guillermo Del Toro is a FANTASTIC director, and I just fell in love with the first movie. It had its weaknesses, to be certain (I liked Liz the pyro more than most, but I felt she didn't get enough screentime, and Agent Mayers was far too blatant a stand-in for my tastes), but Hellboy's just such a lovable mug, and the monster effects and overall story were great fun. If the second movie can do that but bigger, I'll be more than happy.
