Mistress Darkness

24 hours ago I put "Hellboy: The Golden Army" into my DVD player. Unfortunately ... Yeah, I know, I am probably in the minority ... hmm - let me check imdb.com: 7.4. Yes, I am in the minority. I'd give it a 2 or maybe even a 3.

( Read at you own peril not recommended for obsessed fans of the sequel )

But the rest was just too painful, so I moved it from "must see" to "never again" in the "my movies" folder at imdb.com.

As I posted just a while ago, I think the third mummy movie sucks, with a few exceptions.

Was not impressed with anything in the second half either. Boring, cliche and predictable as hell! Already returned it to the store to not have to pay the fee for the next day. But I looked it up on imdb.com and realised it is not that well liked overall. Not that it means much, but usually (considering how high The Dark Knight was rated) dumb shit like that gets rated high.

Hmm, I was not really surprised that General Ming was played by Russel Wong. I was not 100% sure if it was really him, but then again he always manages to look a bit different. In the Prophecy II where he played Danyel the Angel I already thought he was freaking hot and then I saw Romeo must die and thought the same, but did not recognized him. The same happened here, I thought boy is that guy hot and somehow he seems so familiar. Hmm, I guess here it was the haircut and I guess in my defence he seemed a lot bulkier in The Prophecy compared to Rome must die, where also seemed very pale. (BTW he is the guy I sort of cast for Lace - the excentric mage who rules over L.A. in my Dark Matters fanfiction)

Going into the Sauna shortly!

... craptastic idea, I hope I think twice.

So I felt like watching something new, drove to the video rental store and looked and looked. Finally I decided to try out the third mummy movie. I wish I hadn't ...

Wow, I loathe the new female lead, she is simply awful - as glad as I was that Evy did not die in the second movie (or well stay dead) I wished she died in this one. Every scene with her is pure agony. Especially when she just rolled her eyes as the Chinese girl told her about the knife - I mean what the flying fuck - that is not EVY! Fucking shit, I expect that kind of character mangling from Buffy or Poltergeist (P:TL has also a braindead bitch who is in each episode again skeptic about the supernatural despite being a witch herself, having a witch as daughter, being impregnated by a demon, bringing said demon child to live, spending Xmas in the afterlife with her dead son and husband etc.) It just embarrassing to watch.

Alex grew up and lost what wits he had, while staying every bit as annoying as he used to be.

The story has dwindled down to stupid, boring shit with tasteless chase scenes that try so hard to be funny and cool that I feel like throwing up. This is jut like a warmed up left over soup out of the first movie with some Chinese mixed it.

Worst of all, the beginning really surprised me, Jet Li had some fabulous scenes that showed what a brilliant actor he is and the story was well written. But with him portraying such a unsympathetic asshole bare of any coolness (seriously everything he pulled was just uncool sans the fighting scenes) and the heroes reduces to mindless rabble. Not even Rick is cool anymore with the stupid family crises scenes - this is soo dumb.

I will purposefully ignore the the existence of that movie for my fanfic. Yep!

Oh well lets see what happened while I was out of the room to type this. I could bet I did not miss anything interesting

Today idolizer shocked and entertained me by posting this grotesquerie:
