Hellboy and The Corruption of Modern Society

Well, last week I saw Hellboy. It was sub-par to say the least, but an interesting thought occured to me. Jay Leno pointed out the strange corrolation between the moral degredation of modern society and the Hollywood box office(I can hardly say that I'm suprised...), seeing as how the #1 film has gone from Mel Gibson's Passion of The Christ, a movie about the prophet of the prodominent religion in this country, to Dawn of The Dead, a movie about The undead, to perhaps the proverbial bottom of the barrel, at least title-wise, Hellboy. Jay asked "Is America moving in the right direction?".

Never mind that Hellboy (Ron Pearlman) actually fights for "The Good Guys" in the movie, the undertones speak for themselves, Re-incarnation of The Nazi Regime.

The questions that come to mind are: is America becoming evil? are the finer points of The Christian faith lost on a generation obsessed with killing and pre-marital sex? can you blame them when the icon of our great nation enjoys blowing the crap out of third -world countries for shits and giggles?

This media-frenzy should reach full power right about the time Kill Bill Vol. 2 is released so all I can say is God bless America...God bless America indeed.
