Why is There a Lot of Buzz Over Hellboy Smiley?

movie became a box office blockbuster, and the sequel just as powerful.

use it to spice up your blog post, MySpace or Friendster pages, to name a
few.

3.)           Simply send a Hellboy-smiley in your email for fun. 

Hellboy the movie, and now your Hellboy smiley, re-affirm a famous quote.   But first, for those who have not seen the movie at all, here is a short excerpt:

Whoever says demons can’t be angels (sometimes) should think again!

At the turn of events during World War II, the story of a demon destined to save humanity began. Hellboy, a lone traveler from Hell dimension crossed the portal opened by the occultist Rasputin and his cohorts. It was Rasputin’s intention to open a doorway for the God of destruction; summoning a vile creature called the Ogdru Jahad to annihilate his nation’s enemies and declare sovereignty over all human life.

Luckily, Rasputin’s plot was discovered earlier by an expert in paranormal activities, Professor Bruttenholm. Through his efforts, Rasputin was prevented from opening the gateway to hell. However before it could happen, a small creature was able to slip through the portal into the world.

Baby demon, Hellboy, became a student and son to Professor Bruttenholm instead of becoming an instrument to accomplish Rasputin’s evil plans. And under the professor’s guidance, Hellboy became a paranormal investigator and an unlikely hope to humanity.

The story allows imagination to run wild with graphic images of a little devil, with tail and horns just like how people picture devils to be. What creates contrast is how this devil character in the movie was depicted to grow up and become a guardian for humanity. It leaves one to ponder whether a person can change his or her destiny – is a person pre-destined to live out the life he seems to be born with or can he be re-programmed by a parent-figure who has taken the challenge to mold that person into becoming someone else?

The story is certainly “out of this world” but the basic idea behind the saying “Never judge a book by its cover” is fully expounded in the movie. No one would really expect a demon saving the human race from men who wish to destroy it. The image of an angel swooping down and stopping the bad guys is a familiar territory however for this movie, a demon saved the day.     

As for Hellboy Smiley, would it not be nice to send it to someone who feels down on his luck, as if saying that regardless of circumstance, he has the power to change his life and make a 360 degree-turnaround for the good life yet to come?  Would it not be appropriate to send your friends a Hellboy Smiley, as your subtle way of telling them to keep the faith they have in you as it is just a matter of time and you, too, realize your dream?  And for your enemies…oh, just send out a Hellboy Smiley and leave it all up to their imagination to guess what you meant.
