OMIGOD I LOVE "HELLBOY" LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
How could I not adore a movie which had "hey, that reminds me of the ___ in ____" for not just one but ALL of the Holy Four? Just in case you're curious: the floaty bits of Liz's fire when they were in that dungeon thing = Cherlindrea's fairies in "Willow" (also the opening scene of PotC); Ivan Backpackovich = "It's so stimulating being your head" in "Labyrinth," the grenade belt = "Eggs...are...poison!" in "Return to Oz." And finally, "You killed my father, your ass is mine!" of course = "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Which Daddy was quoting at the very same time I was going, "Hellboy *hhhrrrrrrr* I am your father."
Which makes it sound like I think it was derivative, which is not what I mean -- it's just that it fits in exactly with other stuff I love. The second half especially had a fantastic Indiana Jones vibe. And I don't just love "Hellboy," I love HELLBOY himself. Quip away, man! Oh, it was just awesome and I'm sorry I missed out on it earlier (now I get
linaerys's fic. Rock on). They're making a second one, right? I WANT a second one.
If my mother gushes over Ben Affleck at the convention one more time, I'm going to scream.
Also watched an episode and a half of QaF. Am I suppose to hate Brian this much? Because I really, really do. Justin and Michael are painfully adorable though. Hal Sparks is the shit.
::bounces:: I love good movies. Tina and Meg had better go with me to see "The Village" on Friday, because every commercial just gets me more excited.

Now I'm totally writing more! Kroenen and Abe have to have a long chat!

But I will add you to the Hellboy filter so you know when I've written more!
Are you going to write fic?

Yeeargh, probably not. But then I said the exact same thing about PotC last summer, heh.

I can hang in there for all the boy-on-boy action, though. And Hal Sparks.
