You'll learn about them in film school.<BR/><BR/>My complaint isn't so much that the story in Hellboy is predictable, though it is. PLENTY of movies are predictable and still terrific.<BR/><BR/>The problem I have is that everything is so damned obvious. Obvious in the sense that, yes, a human being would tell this story about Nazis using Rasputin to summon a demon who a secret government institution hires to fight monsters.<BR/><BR/>It's all of these obvious, gigantic themes and plots and characters which have been used an agonizingly high amount of times...and they're all crammed into this shitty narative.<BR/><BR/>Watching the movie was a wonderful game of "spot the hackneyed crap". There's Beauty and the Beast, there's Hellsing, there's Carrie. It was just ridiculous how obvious these things were.<BR/><BR/>It's like he took Legos, wrote themes and characters from popular culture on them, then stuck them together to form a $, and then wrote a comic about that final formation.<BR/><BR/>Really, it all started for me when <B>Rasputin</B> was working with the <B>Nazis</B>.<BR/><BR/>That was so painfully obvious._J_https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761591852824457348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472929943767602697.post-1231267318711557542008-07-11T15:13:00.000-04:002008-07-11T15:13:00.000-04:00Let me put this fury in terms you'll understand.WR...Let me put this fury in terms you'll understand.<BR/><BR/>WRSW just told it's listeners <BR/>"... play along in Guitar Hero to this song, it's Asia, In the Heat of the Moment!"<BR/><BR/>Think about that.
