The reason why the Hell Boy sequel may not repulse you is because it's in conjunction with the people who made Pan's Labyrinth, which is a very pretty movie. (Note to self: Actually *see* that movie...) And, of course, the fact that's Rammstein's always phenomenal 'Mein Herz Brennt' is playing in the trailer.

And ditto on the American Girls! Wtf? Where's the Molly movie? Molly was great! As was Kirsten! Who is this interloper?! *sulk*

And Edward Norton will never be anything other than the Narrator. He is not the Hulk, nor will he ever be the Hulk.

Please to be never saying again the potential for a Les Mis movie adaptation. There was one, once, but it was merely a book->movie type thing. Also, Russell Crowe does not at all equal Valjean. Never, ever, ever. EVER. This makes me cry a lot inside. And cringe. Lots of cringing. Don't get me wrong: I love Russell Crowe, but he's not Valjean in any way.

I haven't seen Pan's Labrynth either, don't worry. So many people complained about the Pale Man making them void themselves in fear that I thought it best to stay away (see my most recent flocked post, heh). But I believe people when they tell me it's good! And, you know, I haven't even seen the Hellboy 2 trailer; Guillermo del Toro et al just did such an awesome job with the first one that I'm inclined to trust them with a sequel. I hope David Hyde Pierce comes back, though.

See, and Abigail Breslin could probably PLAY Kirsten. AND Molly, if she really wanted to. I even think she LOOKED a little like Molly in Little Miss Sunshine. Bah. BAH, says I.

I saw The Illusionist before I ever saw Fight Club, so Ed Norton is Eisenheim to me, not the Narrator. But I know that Norton's been in so many fucked-up roles (Narrator, that guy in American History X, Down in the Valley, etc) that imagining him as a superhero just breaks my mind.

And that's not even getting started on TIM ROTH. Freaking ROSENCRANTZ, dude. I don't understand this.

My mouth, she is shut on this subject. Given how long and huge and operatic Les Mis is, any movie adaptation would fall invariably short. And Victor Hugo's been spinning in his grave for a long time. He's on a permanent spin cycle. I don't think we could do anything to him anymore.
