That's enough, Ron Perlman.

NuttierThanEver: While the HB movies weren't high art they are certainly better popcorn movies than the majority of the crap out there.

The eternal defense of the crappy: "It wasn't supposed to be good!"

All I'll say about the second Hellboy was that it seemed like it had pretensions of being "high art" by bringing in the Del Toro imagery. I would have liked a fun movie about Ron Perlman kicking ass against crazy Lovecraft/Nazi-type stuff. Instead I got plant monsters and Enya.

Sybarite: Quest for Fire, The Name of the Rose, The City of Lost Children, Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy; Perlman has been an awesome, and often underrated, actor for decades. Hell, I even liked him in Beauty and the Beast, as melodramatic as that show was.

No Ice Pirates?

You're not invited to my birthday party anymore.

Hellboy was much better for me than Spiderman/XMen

I Said: Juuuust calm down and make sure you've set a side enough time to do work on Sons of Anarchy. Then you can go and do whatever unimportant side projects you may have.

Good, this has been covered.

Stay out of it, Nick Lachay Ron Perlman!

/"Sons of Anarchy" needs a Linda Hamilton cameo

hubiestubert: It was pretty much what I expected of a Mike Mignola story. It WAS a Hellboy comic brought to screen.

That. And the plant was awesome.

Has anybody mentioned how freaking awesome Sons of Anarchy is yet? No?

Okay, I'll start. Sons of Anarchy is awesome. I'm quickly coming to enjoy it more than Breaking Bad, and that's saying something.

I loved the first one, but the Golden Army was way too campy for me.

If they do Hellboy 3, they need to make sure they get a good budget. They were running out of money at the end of Hellboy 2, and it shows in the film.

SphericalTime: I was talking with someone about Hellboy 2 vs. Pan's Labyrinth. PL is a better movie overall, but Hellboy 2 is substantially prettier. The design work on that movie is incredible, and it really goes into far more detail than PL can do with it's limited fantasy elements.

If they can get the same guys to do art direction, go for it.

Hellboy 2 is amazing looking, but it's a narrative mess. PL is an excellent story well told.

Check him out in "I Sell The Dead" but skip "Outlander."

Yes please. I will buy tickets.

I don't want to sound gay or anything but "Beauty and the Beast" kicked arse!

Agreed.

But this regardless.

/I enjoy a large portion of Perlman's work
//I enjoy all of Del Toro's work
///WANT!

Ehhh I liked the hellboy movies, they were like what national treasure could have been with a plot and decent actors.

/sorry keitel
//never act with cage again

Can we set HB3 when Liz is still pregnant and get some CGI prego double D's on Selma Blair?

Just trying to help...

Hollywood. Hollywood never changes.

He got to have simulated sex Rae Dawn Chong in Quest for Fire, how awesome was that.

/Then again Ron is so awesome they probably did it for real.
//lucky bastard.

Funny, I have I Sell the Dead sitting on my DVR right now, just haven't gotten around to it.

Definitely worth the watch. Pretty original story, not too many stories out there about a pair of grave robbers and the various ins and outs of their job.

I'd go. Though HB2 blew. HB1 was really fun.

Huh, thats odd. Last I read, del toro said Ron Pehlman didn't want to do another one cause he hated the 8 hour makeup sessions. Del toro went on to explain(paraphrasing) that he didn't blame him, he might be a action star in the eyes of his fans but hes still a 60 year old man and hated the hassle of having to sit still that long.

//coulda sworn I read that on fark

Seconded.

Or, have her get preggo in real life before filming. I volunteer to do the job.

Ron: Red Dawn, Chong
RDC: What?
Ron (pointing to his crotch): Wolverines, baby.

stuhayes2010: I'd go. Though HB2 blew. HB1 was really fun.

The tooth-fairies creeped my kids out something fierce, so HB2 wins. Seriously.... if you have a kid who is losing his/her teeth at the moment, drop HB2 on them with no warning. Tell them they get to see what the tooth fairies look like. Good times.

I'm listening to Ron on yesterday's Opie and Anthony.. and he is awesome!
funny as hell, and awesomely genuine.

The original i09.com interview includes him talking about his role in At The Mountains of Madness, which I'm still hoping will be awesome.

Then he said the movie is set at the north pole. I'm hoping he was just mistaken. It's the south pole. It has to be the south pole. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

I suspect that the people who piss on Hellboy 2 are the same morons who made Little Fockers this weekend's number one movie.

Honestly, if a movie where Ron Perlman dresses up like satan himself, blows the head off a 50-foot tall earth elemental with a grenade launcher, feeds a troll into a grinder, suker-punches a dead guy with no physical body, has a drunk sing-along with his fish buddy and fights an army of indestructable golden mechs didn't entertain you at all, the problem is that you suck, not the movie.

He was on a local radio station yesterday and said that del Toro had an amazing script for the 3rd movie but that they'd have to do it soon cause he(Perlman) can't do superhero stuff for much longer.

Oh don't be such a killjoy. While the HB movies weren't high art they are certainly better popcorn movies than the majority of the crap out there.

So much THIS.

Blatantly so, I'd say. Let's not forget the scene where Hellboy rescues a box full of kittens. I'll admit, it's in character, but it's a box full of kittens. They couldn't have made the audience root for him any more if they'd had him simultaneously curing cancer while he clobbered Hitler in the groin with a sledgehammer.

Mugato: That guy's spent more time in the makeup chair than all the Kardashians combined. I can't remember what the last movie was about except that I heart Selma Blair.

I don't know. It's not even close to the same amount of makeup, but there's been a lot more of them:

he and his wife were seated right next to me and my girlfriend, recently, in an otherwise deserted fancy restaurant.

My girlfriend wouldn't allow me to make contact, even a "hello", for which i'll never forgive myself for listening to her.

Cronos, which was his first time working with del Toro, as I believe it was del Toro's first feature.

hubiestubert: I could get behind that.

So long as it's del Toro behind the camera.

^

hubiestubert: I could get behind that.

So long as it's del Toro behind the camera AFTER MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS GOD F*CKING DAMMIT.

I'm cool with that.

Hellboy 2 wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Probably one of the better popcorn flicks in the past 10. Even with the great movie FX, and tons of use of extras, they still put way too much cheap CGI in it for various enemies. Kinda took me out of the rest of it, which was beautifully done.

1/2 the coolness of the Hellboy movies is seeing what sort of set's and environments they come up with.
