Lazy Weekend

[jon_chaisson]

Not much happening today...went to see the 11am showing of Hellboy II, and of course enjoyed it immensely...great cinematography, great soundtrack (the fact that they used Travis' "All I Wanna Do Is Rock" in a key scene amuses me to no end, and Eels' "Beautiful Freak" was also a great choice), and I have to say this one, although it had more action to it, it was also sillier. Many scenes played for the humor (the Krauss/Hellboy smackdown was straight out of a Tex Avery cartoon). Oh yes--I'd completely forgotten about Krauss until he walked on screen--totally not how I'd expected him to be played but totally worth it!

So yeah--two BIG thumbs up for Hellboy II. Even though emmalyon has to state that the BPRD building is actually in Newark, not in Trenton, as the screen erroneously stated. ;)


Tomorrow? Maybe a walk, some laundry...and not much else. Hopefully we can get some sleep too. :p

Yeah, I used to stay in Fairfield, CT a lot when I used to do admissions stuff down that way, and I have to say I can't really picture it.

Now, there *was* a big building in Farmington, just west of Hartford, that I always thought looked like the BPRD HQ actually.
