Hellboy 2: The Golden Army by Crikey
Visually fucking awesome…but what else do you expect from that director guy? Did ya really need two love stories in there though? Did ya? Did ya, did ya?
I’m going to score it purely on my enjoyment level because I’m a dude that plays tunes, messes with broads, and writes off his memory with substances too much to have a decent appreciation of film info, relevant points, cast and crew backgrounds etc. In short, I know sweet fuck all about films and you constantly make me inferior with all this “hey, on (movie I’ve never seen) they did this and that, and fucking (someone) didn’t even want the writing credit!”
Fuck I don’t know, it kept me entertained and not yawing which was a good achievement considering hangover and hours slept.
I’ll give it an 8. I was expecting a piece of Michael Bay-esque shit with flourishes of Pan’s Labyrithe but what I got was something well put together and fascinating to watch.
Looking at the complexion of the film and how awesome it was how that Del Torro dude stamped his style all over it kind of got me thinking how dreadful it really could have been if it’d fallen into the hands of someone else. Maybe not dreadful, but definitely quite shit.
Look at me all suddenly movie buffed up, referencing another movie and director *puts on a smoking jacket, monocle and cues up the next reel*
Cool scenes: Killing of the elemental and aftermath, finding the secret city, meeting the angel prophet in the secret city, troll market.
Whattup Jeff Tambour.
Hebrew National vs. Nathan’s by whitey
So it’s time to answer the question that’s as old as time itself. Who makes better hot dogs? Our resident Dr. Scientist, Kyle Ford, arranged a blind taste test to finally settle the score:
The quarter pound dogs were cooked on a sweet little toaster oven with rollers on the top. They were then split into halves and tried at the same time to compare and contrast. They were all tasted without condiments and then some of the testers chose to put condiments on later:
There is a different taste, and it was noted that Hot Dog A (later turned out to be Nathan’s) had a lot more going on, especially on the garlic front. I strongly feel that Nathan’s is a ’sometimes’ hot dog, while Hebrew National stands on it’s own without being overpowering. The hot dogs were then rated out of ten. The final scores are as follows:
Final Scores
Nathan’s - 48.5 | Hebrew National - 49.5
