Watched Hellboy last night with my bro. He'd called me at the last minute and I wanted to sleep more than 5 hours a night for a change. But I really wanted to see the movie and I'm glad I did. In any case I managed to make it to work on time.

Hellboy was great fun, even if the movie loses a bit of cohesion towards the end. Smart, snappy dialogue. Didn't dissolve into self-angst or over-sentimentality. Loved Ron Perlman's wry humour and one-liners, and Selma Blair is hot (brunette, long hair, bangs? /sigh). Lovecraftian monsters and generous Cthulu references. Interesting, if unimaginative villains.

I only wish I'd read the comics earlier :/ Damn my well-spent youth.
