I just thought that I should confirm that some people never saw the original Highlander. I hope to rent it now that I know its good. Also, I hope the remake will live up to the original and that maybe it can be good enough to inspire a better series of sequels.

You should take a picture of the part of the trailer that you’re in and post it.

**Hobbit – note*** Del Toro said that Ron Perlman will be a voice…but he said it wouldn’t be Smaug. He said he has another idea for Smaug’s voice…but we wont find out about until sometime in the future

Where to start….

How about here:

1) Doug Jones is Abe. I also would not be shocked in the least if in Hobbit Time, he plays a character, maybe an Orc or something.

2) I was not a big Hellboy fan. My first intro to Del Toro was Mimic, then I caught up with his earlier Chonos, then I saw Devils Backbone at the Austin Film Fest in 2001. I thought Blade 2 was great. But I didn’t give a suck about Hellboy.

I like the trailer for Hellboy. But alas, it will be tough to beat Iron Man

3) I *hated* The Black Hole when I was young. I thought it was a hokey, lame piece of junk. However, I loved Saturn 3, so to each his own I guess. Note: maybe Sat3 should be remade; if the robot in that film wanted to vibrate between Farrah Facwett’s legs, just imagine the possibilities of an update…

4) Tito Ortiz as Conan.

5) My summer anticipated: Get Smart, Dark Knight, Ice Age 3 (loved the first two) Hulk… Mother Of Tears…and Journey to the Center of the Earth…

I was hoping for House Bunny because I dig Anna Faris, but then I found out Adam Sandler’s production co. Happy Madison was behind it. Since it opend Aug 22, I won’t count it. My hopes aren’t high for Zohan either, for that matter.

Alot more people know who Del Toro is now as opposed to when the first Hellboy came out.

YES. The second Hobbit film should be this 90 minute wide shot of armies walking towards Morder and having sex on the way.

Actually, everyone DOESN’T know about Pan’s Labyrinth and Del Toro. He’s not a household name, except in the geek community.

I know HB only did $60 mil, but think about the fact that Hellboy was not marketed very strongly and at that point no one really knew who Del Toro was.

This time around, the marketing (while still not huge) has picked up from the first, and everyone knows about Pans Labyrinth and Del Toro. I think that will draw alot of people in, not to mention the fact that sequels generally do better in their opening week than originals.

All this, to me, says that if HB 2 is a good movie, it will have legs and get very close to or surpass $100 mil domestic.

Seeing how that the first Hellboy barely cracked 60 million dollars in the US I don’t think HB2 will do much better. Hopefully it will but I doubt it.
