Where you least expect it
1. January 2009 by Joe Gergen.
I just got done watching Hell Boy II. You know, a movie about a demon who works for the government to save us from menaces.
So in the middle of the movie there is this scene where one of the characters is falling for another character and he puts on Barry Manilow’s “Can”t Smile without You.” An obviously sentimental song that brings some comic relief to the movie. But it’s still a movie about a demon fighting bad guys, except that when the credits roll we get to hear the Barry Manilow blasting out. Again Yes, it was funny but it seemed so, ah, incongruous.
So it’s been a superhero holiday season. Hell Boy on New Years and we watched the Dark Knight on Christmas Eve. I suspect I’ll be watching the Incredible Hulk on Valentine’s Day.
Oh and I suppose it is happy New Year to you all. I look forward to continuing a supply of misreadings and fascinating insights.
