    If Billy Wilder knew that through a series of bizarre events, making this movie would result in the "Let's Have A Kiki/Turkey Lurkey Time" mashup on Glee, would he have gone through with it?

    Hellboy: The Crooked Man

    ★★

    I love Hellboy. I love folk horror. I like the idea of doing smaller, more lowkey Hellboy movies that lean into the high strangeness from the comics.

    I would just like for it not to radiate so much fan film energy

    I like this movie but they gave exactly one black person a role and oh boy was it a CHOICE.

    My perfect day includes:

    1. Trapesing around a romantic European city with someone as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn

    2. A guy I know from work is with us the entire time.

    3. We end the evening by going dancing, listening to jazz and beating up some cops
