Hobbit Director: America Kills Children And Rapes Continents
Posted by Dirty Harry on Saturday, August 16th, 2008
Rhetorical: Why do ungrateful, hypocritical multi-millionaires like Guillermo del Toro stay in a country they find so repugnant:
American theatres in the South rejected the first movie, refused to play it, because the word hell was in the title, he says. Other theatres in the South changed the title on the marquee from Hellboy to Hello Boy, and Heck Boy.
He thought when he was pitching Hellboy II: The Golden Army that people would be less sensitive, but not so. We actually went back to discussing, Can it not be called Hellboy? Again! he exclaims, aghast.
I find it really puzzling that we are not prudish about the deforestation of the Earth, bombing other countries, killing children, raping entire continents, but we are prudish about one word.

Del Toro is Spanish for =Fat Tool.
Gee, I sure an sorry that Billy is puzzled.
Can someone please provide a picture or proof of the above? If not, then I simply cannot believe him and so I think of him as a liar.
Guillermo del Uruk-Hai is a fool.
I live in the South and never saw evidence of that.
I was going to ask the same thing. I live in Georgia and it was not even talked about other than it was a so so movie if you liked the comics.
I read 'Del Toro' to accurately translate, "Of the BULL". I'll let others discern what the bull has left behind.
Not true - the continents wanted it
American theatres in the South rejected the first movie, refused to play it, because the word hell was in the title, he says.Yeah, 'cause southern folks HATE that word.
I live in the south. This guy is lying. The movie title was shown all over without changing it.
Is anyone surprised by this?
Deport the bastard and ban him from our shores! Let’s face it, his cartoonish-crap movies aren’t that good anyway. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
No, it means "from the bull" ... but it's a family forum and I won't say which end of the bull it's from.
Crap, and i was SO looking forward to seeing “The Hobbit” movie because i loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
i’m still disappointed Peter Jackson isnt the director.
and yes hes lying,i’ve been traveling between Baton Rouge to San Antonio and every theather has had Hellboy I AND Hellboy II(damn shame cuz i liked the Hellboy movies)
