The SO and myself went to the movies today. Yeah, I know...whatta shock. We caught Hellboy and Latter Days, both of which were simply marvy, albeit for different reasons.
Hellboy was such a blood-and-thunder good time, and directed by one of my new favorites, Guillermo del Toro. And Ron Perlman, in the title role, is a hoot and a half. And they kill lotsa Nazis. Always a good thing.
Latter Days, though it suffers a bit in the technique department, was sweet, and had its' heart in the right place. The Mormons aren't gonna like this movie, though. To heck with 'em. I identified with the LDS boy, because of my own strict religious upbringing, and his coming to accept who he was and how he fits in with the world really did echo my own coming of age. (They could've used a decent songwriter, though. The songs in the movie were, to put it kindly, trite.)
Still and all, a pleasant day...and tonight, a few more movies on deeveedee.
Life is good...
