Followup to my previous post, and Hellboy II

Last week I posted that I'd come up with the ending to my story, "A Far Sun." Now, I've written it, and not only that I have a song to go along with it.

This epilogue is a bit more than one page (it's just over 4 pages--1,200 words), but it puts the final "period" on the story, and sets up the next one. Oh, and speaking of a set up ...

There will definitely be a third Hellboy movie, assuming this new one (Hellboy II: The Golden Army) doesn't bomb in the theaters. It shouldn't. It may have its flaws (it definitely has some rough edges) but overall it's a really good story and I enjoyed it almost as much as I did the first one. But you have to know this: it's a love story. On more than one front.

I won't spoil it with any ... er, spoilers, but it starts rather slowly and has an odd scene near the end of act II that seems to be a set up for a theme in the third movie, since this particular subplot doesn't resolve, here. There is also a prophesy (I think they're almost required in today's action-adventure, superhero movies) and of course the thing being prophesied doesn't happen in this movie. Go figure. I'd say more, but to go further would be to go too far. Heh.

If you liked the first movie you'll probably like this one, so check it out.
