I saw "Hellboy" today

[Nevernose]

It was good. Below "X-Men" and above "The Hulk." Probably better than "Daredevil," but I'm probably not the best judge since I actually liked "Daredevil" (though Jennifer Garner might have had something to do with that).

I can pretty much judge the quality of an action flick based on my eight year old daughter's reaction: she covered her ears at the right place, covered her eyes at the right place, was scared at the right moments, and was enthralled most of the rest of the time.

Anyone else see it yet?

7. Are you SERIOUS?

Mods: I beg you not to delete based upon the "personal attack" rule.

I've been on DU since the beginning, quite literally, and have yet to have a single post deleted, much less be banned. I've never, to my memory, even pushed the "alert" button. While I occasionally (okay, frequently) disagree on matters related to Israel or the ante-bellum South, I've demonstrated nothing but progressive attitudes on virtually every other subject. Must liberals be in lockstep with one another? Is goose-stepping what we're relegated to? It is also not polite to accuse someone of being a freeper/inflitrator/et.al..

I'm not even sure why you would accuse me of being a troll (other than the aforementioned Israel/antebellum South threads). My attitude, as far as I'm concerned, would best be described as "pragmatic" or "realistic." At my work, I am seriously referred to as the "man who doesn't smile" ;-).

Did you see "Hellboy?" Cartoon violence, nothing worse than what we watch TOGETHER on CNN every single morning...and I've taught her well to hate Nazis/fascists. She's known the word "Nazi" since she was 18 months old, and she's known it was a synonym for "pure fucking evil." The parts she closed her eyes on were the kissing scene at the end, and the part when Cthulhu begins to cross the gate between worlds. I happen to think that my family's near-pathological hatred of Nazis is one of the reasons that I can take her to a movie like "Hellboy." As a matter of fact, I take her to all of the comic-book movies; they're not real. Relax.

In what way does this make me a bad father, or a troll? So what, exactly, is your problem with me, or the way I choose to raise my
(In the interest of full disclosure, I would say that I would have changed my handle years ago, if I could have without changing my post count. In three years I've gotten 1,500 posts, and worked damn hard for them -- I've got no idea how people like Will Pitt and Keph passed me within a few weeks of their joining up. I signed on with the intention of arguing about Israel/Palestine, and just kind of stayed on because I liked the rest of it so much)

8. I think s/he was replying to a different post

. . . but I think s/he's way out of line

[Demonaut]

9. he didnt mean you, its the other one who referred to wrestling

your post was fine, and good so relax. Being deleted can happen but it's not the end of the world, I really like Ron Perlman so I figure this movie has potential.

10. Ron Perlman was the worst thing about this movie

The man can really act, so it was kind of disappointing to see him so drastically underact. It was still good, though -- I'd give it a solid "B+"

[Demonaut]

12. ouch! sorry to hear that

[Dookus]

2. cool

thanks for the report. I was curious about seeing it.

And yes, I'll admit I like some bad movies. I also am a total movie buff who LOVES great movies. But I like a well-done comic book.

4. i liked daredevil

yet there was something wrong with it,still haven`t figured it out yet. i`m still waiting for ---"reid fleming"- "world`s toughest milkman" movie. my other fav comic-"faust" "love of the dammed" movie sucked..

11. It was Colin Farrell

There's something about that guy that really sets me off. I think maybe it wasw because of his "Today Show" interview a year or so back" he was so coked up that he was damn-near incoherent...Katie Couric (of all people) knew, and couldn't say anything, it was disgusting...and Colin Farrell just sucks in every movie he's been in.

Chicks and gay dudes tell me he's "hot" whatever that means, but seriously: has he ever been good in a movie? Or in a good movie, for that matter (besides "Minority Report")?
