we finally went and saw hellboy last night. i enjoyed it. it was definitely better than the first one. but i was disappointed after reading all the good reviews it was getting. it wasn't THAT much better than the first one, and the first one was a big disappointment to me. guillermo de toro is a genius. but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

my clapotis is coming along nicely. i am quite pleased.

You Clapotis looks great!

I was a little disappointed with the Hellboy movie, too. I didn't go in with any great expectations, other than it would look pretty, and it did pay that off in spades. It would make a great movie for ten-year-olds, really -- it's the kind of thing I would have gleefully watched at sleepovers. Which isn't a bad thing, really, it's just that it was a bit of a confection. Loved Doug Jones to bits, as usual, and overall I got the impression that everyone involved was having a hell of a good time, but that the studio execs probably saw the final cut and said, "We paid for this?!"

I am a HUGE fan of the comics, though, so I object a bit to the sow's ear comparison. :)

"but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."
