yes, i got sneak preview tix tonite for hellboy...i know, not exactly Lord of the Rings, but i'm hoping this will finally prove that a comic book can be made into a good movie (ok, count Blade and maybe Superman 2). i stumbled onto the comic a couple of years back just as a lark---Mike Mignola had done a batman one-shot called Gotham by Gaslight. i liked his work on it and so i looked for other stuff he'd done and that's wear i came across the red guy. it was totally different than any comic i'd read---it combined elements of folklore from all over the world, pulp novels and then threw in a little lovecraft just for kicks. i've been hooked ever since. so i hope the movie does it justice. Guillermo Del Toro is probably the hugest HB fan around and since Mignola had a lot of input on it--i'm sure it will be awesome.
P.S.--when i first read the book...i thought his shaved down horns were goggles and i wondered why he needed goggles. as you can see in the pic---they look like goggles!!
