just got back from watching the premiere of hellboy 2.

i wonder how long i can keep your attention here, because i have a lot to say, and you might probably get bored.

spoilers ahead. turn back now if you can't take it....





all right. you're still here.

hellboy 2 was summer fare, nothing more, nothing less.
predictable, saccharine sweet, action packed,
and as is usually the case, a plot shot full of holes.

for instance,
why does the bad guy, who severely wounds the hero, leave without finishing the job?

or why, when the hero is perched on a precarious ledge, not try to kill the hero?

is there a bad guy code of ethics or something?

and i know this is a comic book adaptation, but do the characters all have to be two dimensional?
even the so called hero, hellboy is about as expressive as a plank of wood.
no emotion whatsoever.

his lady love, pregnant but refusing to accept it.
so much potential, yet all wasted

the fish.
he is a pain to watch.
at least he has an excuse for being inexpressive.

it's as if the producers just wanted something to move the movie along till they got to the action scenes, which by modern standards barely pass the mustard.

i'm tired.
go watch for yourself.

watched iron man today with natasha, suk leng, melvin and koo

was it really that hard to get 5 people to get in a place at a specific time?
yes.... it was

you want to try and guess why?

guys can't and won't be punctual (won't put in names here)
if you tell them to come at 12, and give them a reminder call at 11:47, then they tell you they're on their way...............
translation: i just woke up, didn't consider how you would feel if i was late, and i will lie in any way necessary to keep you there patiently waiting for me to turn up at my convenience/pleasure.
apparently that's how guys think

i don't know how girls think
if i did, i would write a book
and be rich
and certainly not post it up on the internet.

back to the movie

awesome

what more needs to be said
it is definitely up there among the better comic book adaptations like arachnid man and chiroptera man


on with the ranting
how many of you have actually given consideration to the needs of the disabled?

do you park in lots reserved for the disabled?
do you sit in seats reserved for the disabled?
do you use toilets reserved for the disabled?

do you have a heart?

people who were not born disabled but who became ----how shall we put it ----incomplete, after an accident are the worst off.
imagine having to live in a sightless world that used to have colour
imagine not being able to get from point a to b without help.
independent perambulation is every human's birthright.

it wouldn't be so bad if you could never walk in the first place, but to have that taken away from you can be heartbreaking.

i've gone on long enough
or have i..........
