Finally, the studio had the courage to go ahead, now look at the reviews he's getting. Look at the excitement that's going on." 18. Photo opp Selma Blair and friend 19. SOUNDBITE (english) Ron Perlman (including): "Surprises. They can expect to be very, very surprised that a guy who does what he does on the surface has the heart that he has and grapples with the dialectic that he does, with the great philosophers have over the centuries. Frederick Nietzsche and Schopenhauer. Those are the things that live in Hellboy even as he''s pounding the poop out of monsters." 20. SOUNDBITE (english) Selma Blair (including): "You know, I didn''t have prosthetic envy because he was in his prosthetic makeup, four hours to put it on and then two hours to take it off. No, I had no envy. They put a wig on me, enhanced my dark circles under my eyes because she was kind of a sad girl. I got to eat my meals. I got to fall asleep like a regular girl. I was very lucky."
