How come no one wants to go watch Hellboy II. Is it the movie or is it me? The faces I get when I ask people if they wanna watch Hellboy II... I must be hanging out with the wrong crowd :)
I mean, a red devilish character with a tail and a hammer hand who looks like a bad guy who is a good guy. His girlfriend, Pyrokinetic Liz and an ancient fish man who has a taste for rotten eggs. Together they go out and save the world! Come on. That's good stuff.
Other noteworthy things for my fellow sci-fi geeks: Naomi Novik, the author of the Temeraire series is going to be at the Central Library 7/15. Her latest book, Victory of Eagles is out. In case you haven't picked this up, the series starts with "His Majesty's Dragon." Imagine the Napoleanic Wars...but fought with dragons. It's very cool as it focuses a lot the relationship between an at first, reluctant Captain and a dragon hatchling. For more info...

Peter Jackson, director of "Lord of the Rings" has already gotten the rights to her book. Can't wait for that!
