For your consideration

Monomyth

Think of all your favorite sci-fi/fantasy films, books and narratives.  Then read that wikipedia article.  Also, think about the phrase "comparative mythology."

Thoughts while watching “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army”

  • Something is wrong about young Hellboy.  Can't put my finger on it.
  • Did that guy just use a headcrab?
  • Add "being eaten alive from the inside out while being eaten alive from the outside in" to the Worst Nightmares list.
  • "Welcome to Diagon Alley!  Er, uh, I mean, WELCOME TO THE TROLL MARKET!"
  • "We're down to the last one!"  I have so been there.
  • Whoa, an extended singing sequence.  Wonder if Del Toro has directed any musicals.  Or aspires to.
  • Why are you people pissed at Hellboy?  DID YOU NOT SEE THE GIANT PLANT HE JUST TOOK DOWN?
