I’m awesome. I wrote a book. It’s got little to do with movies. Download and read “Thank You, Goodnight” right HERE for free.
Through the powers that be I have been given 5 copies of Guillermo del Toro’s actioneer HELLBOY 2 to give away on DVD. Those of you who have seen it know how well Guillermo has made a sequel that doesn’t feel like a cash-in and has every bit of oomph of its predecesor. The film is flat out fun and visually dazzling. It’s worthy of any fan’s collection and, coincidently enough, makes a great stocking stuffer come this Christmas. (Or, maybe you’re a greedy kind of person and want this magic all for yourself. I can respect that.)
As always, the level of difficulty of getting a copy of this is quite high: Send me your name to Christopher_Stipp@yahoo.com
(And, if you’ve won any previous DVD giveaways in the past month, sit on your hands. Seriously. Not everyone else is addicted to on-line contests like you…)
For those who need some background here is the official synopsis:
With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world’s toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy).
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it’s up to the planet’s toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).
Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense – pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann – the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who’s accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.
