HELLBOY on INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO!!!

Fucking awesome by Mezzanine	Jul 1st, 2008 11:39:51 AM
That had me laughing.
Awsome... by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 1st, 2008 11:40:32 AM
I like to see smart and funny advertising. I wish I could see Hellboy 2 right now!
Kinda hard for me to believe that Ron Pearlman by MRJONZ72	Jul 1st, 2008 11:41:21 AM
is pushing 60..I know he been around for a while..but just seems younger than that to me.
He;s the character to watch on USA as well. NT by JediRob	Jul 1st, 2008 11:42:42 AM

This movie is getting more exciting to me the closer it is to the release...that's better than the Dark Knight, which has had me excited for the better part of a year now...it's not healthy I tell ya!
I heard Ron's a dick by Speed Fricassee	Jul 1st, 2008 11:44:13 AM
Just what I heard.
BOOYAH! by Reload	Jul 1st, 2008 11:46:34 AM
Classic. I wonder how all of those whiny liberals feel about Hellboy and his Revolver?
Did Lipton just say Oooh-Rahh! by Darth Macchio	Jul 1st, 2008 11:48:27 AM
So Lipton hosts "Inside the Actor's Studio" and he's also a Navy SEAL? Holy shit! Who knew?
Ha! by rev_skarekroe	Jul 1st, 2008 11:49:01 AM
That's better than any of the trailers so far.
James Lipton is a great sport. by Rev. Slappy	Jul 1st, 2008 11:51:51 AM
Lipton may fawn over the guests a little too much, but "Inside" is the best show of it's kind ever. I hate the vapid entertainment media with all my heart (Access Hollywood, E!) but Lipton actually gets to the heart of what actors do.

There are a whole lot of us "whiny liberals" that are pro-gun, and even own them.

"City of Lost Children" was an earlier film, when Perlman was hu by Speed Fricassee	Jul 1st, 2008 12:06:14 PM
Now he's a big name... and it's gone to his head. I have a hard time respecting the ones who have turned their backs on the ones who made them a success (the fans). That'll never happen to Doug Jones, who's the coolest guy in the biz.

RON PERLMAN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND by g-ride9000	Jul 1st, 2008 12:09:51 PM
FANBOYS: please leave famous people alone. They don't need to spend every minute of every day be drained by people with incomplete lives. Stop asking thing of people you don't know!!
BTW, since when is Perlman a big name? by DerLanghaarige	Jul 1st, 2008 12:10:20 PM
I mean, I love him, but besides Hellboy and The Beauty & The Beast more than 20 years ago, he didn'T do anything that caught the attention of the public. He is unfortunately still caught in DTV-Hell. But I hear from many people that he is still one of the nicest guys in business. (Of course I haven't met him.)
Warden Gentles! by Gilkuliehe	Jul 1st, 2008 12:11:23 PM
Yes, Lipton is a great sport indeed. That was funny... I wish Del Toro would've done that with Blade though. "What's your favorite curse word?" (hissing) "What do you mean, motherfucker?"
Haven't we had enough of this.. by Jonah Echo	Jul 1st, 2008 12:13:13 PM
I heard he is a dick talk. Honestly, never heard that regarding Perlman before, and the fact he has worked with several directors more than once(i.e. Del Toro, four times now and Juenet twice) makes me doubt this. Also, he seems to be pretty candid whenever he is interviewed or spoken to. Was it Mori who ran into him on the set of that Uwe Boll debacle and he commented "What can I say, my wife loves her shoes!"
That was fuckin' great ;) by Sulla	Jul 1st, 2008 12:14:55 PM
Loved it. Lipton is a great sport when it comes to stuff like this.
Soylent by DerLanghaarige	Jul 1st, 2008 12:18:12 PM
It was In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. But it wasn't by far Perlman's worst movie. (It's hard to top 'Shakedown' and the one with the killer baboons)
what makes him a dick? by Neil_the_Sheep	Jul 1st, 2008 12:19:53 PM
I mean...just cause you may have approached him in a Subway in you green lantern shirt that has never been washed and asked him to say something in funny for you voice mail, to which he responded, "get the hell away from me, I'm enjoying my cold-cut combo you dirty creep.", doesn't make him a dick.
DTV hell? by Bouncy X	Jul 1st, 2008 12:20:11 PM
ummm, he may have some movies that go that route but he's constantly and consistently making theatrical movies. sure they arent all big or he isnt always a main character but yeah, he's far from being stuck there. DTV hell is those who only make DTV movies these days, like van damme and segal and lundgren.
That was hilarious! by Dopenose19	Jul 1st, 2008 12:22:32 PM
I hope they run 4-5 different snippets like that on tv. It might even make me stop blurring through commercials on my dvr.But wait! What if I 've already missed them, in my misguided advertisement avoidance? Damn you, technology! DAMN YOU!!!!!!
Bouncy by DerLanghaarige	Jul 1st, 2008 12:22:40 PM
Okay, I think I can agree with that definition, but I just wish he would have more starring roles in thetrical movies, instead of being in so many crappy DTV movies and c-grade productions that hardly ever see a theatre from the inside, outside of the US.
Goddamn it, I meant "dick" as in "detective" by Speed Fricassee	Jul 1st, 2008 12:23:39 PM
You know.. like in the old noir films? Man, it's just what I heard.
The DTV work is mostly because.. by Jonah Echo	Jul 1st, 2008 12:24:28 PM

But what I really like about his crappy movies: by DerLanghaarige	Jul 1st, 2008 12:25:57 PM
He is always taking them seriously and never gives a bad performance. This is much more than many Superstar actors do these days.
Oh...I thouhgt Ron Perlman was on it for real... by StarWarsRedux	Jul 1st, 2008 12:26:29 PM

Speed Fricassee by Neil_the_Sheep	Jul 1st, 2008 12:28:16 PM
..oh well, in that case...yes, I've heard that as well.
the dtv work is mostly because by Jonah Echo	Jul 1st, 2008 12:28:28 PM
it seems that Perlman is always working. Yes, there is alot that's a bit part or voicework, but this guy seems to be very un-pretentious and just loves to work. And his wife loves her shoes. He has something like 17 unreleased movies currently out there in some state of completion, post-production or production and that's not counting all the animated stuff he is doing work for, or the video games. It's sort of neat that while you might see him in Primal Scream (the baboon flick) on Sci-Fi at 2 a.m. you are just as likely to catch his voice on the Batman animated series or headlining the big summer comic book sequel. He seems to have little delusion about what he does, and as such seems to have fun whether stretching his talents in art(City of Lost Children, Cronos) or fighting off the latest cgi blobby the Sci-Fi channel guys are passing off as a giant rat or snake or snake rat.
Last Winter by Jonah Echo	Jul 1st, 2008 12:31:25 PM
It's a pretty decent flick actually and Perlman adds alot to the atmosphere. His character is the kind of thing that might inspire those "dick" comments, but Perlman plays the guy always on the edge of being approachable or decent or hard-edged and dangerous. It's well worth seeing, and a somewhat continuation of the Wendigo mythology that Fessenden explored in "Wendigo" albeit taken in a different direction.
Hilarious! Love it! by Bones	Jul 1st, 2008 12:31:45 PM
In fact, i might Luuuuurve it. Ron Perlman is not a dick. Very gracious, even to whiny interviewing art-boys. You can see that here: http://tinyurl.com/3gxqba (My voice is the second one, mentioning 25 years since Quest for Fire and the following question...)

Perlman in Desperation was great.. by Jonah Echo	Jul 1st, 2008 12:34:21 PM
while the movie was terrible. I remember him rolling his giant bloody eyes skyward and yelling "I RUUUVVE ROOORD OF THE RIIINNGS!! TAK TAK,WA LA TAK!! or something like that. I can't even recall why he was saying it, but do recall he was clutching Anabeth Gish and Henry Thomas in his meaty paws when he said it.
Enemy at the Gates by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jul 1st, 2008 12:37:25 PM
was bad ass, and Pearlman was bad ass in it.
Alien Resurrection by HoboCode	Jul 1st, 2008 12:42:30 PM
I know many of you think it sucks. I love it. but ca nwe agree that Perlman rules in it? "Don't push me, little Call. You hang with us for a while, you'll find out I am not the man with whom to fuck!" "Earth, man. What a shithole." Annalee Call: "Jesus Christ, Johner, what do you put in this shit, battery acid?" Johner: "Just for color." Ripley: "Who do I have to fuck to get off this boat?" Johner: "I can get you off. Maybe not the boat." Johner: "What's the big deal, man? Fuckin' waste of ammo." Christie: "Let's go." Johner: "Must be a chick thing." "I'm not the mechanic here, Ironsides! I mostly just hurt people!" "I thought synthetics were supposed to be all logical and shit. You're just a big ol' psycho girl!" "Well, I say if we wanna make any decent time, I say we ditch the cripple. [to Vriess] "No offense, man."

Beauty and the Beast by Project424	Jul 1st, 2008 12:48:53 PM
Up until today, I didn't know that was Perlman... I have fond memories of that show, but was unaware that it was Hellboy. I loved him in that caveman movie; Quest For Fire, I think. A strong body of work, he has.
Hobo Code...Yes Perlman rules in Alien 4... by Bones	Jul 1st, 2008 12:52:25 PM
Between his performance and Whedon's dialogue, Johner is a great character. His "You're just a big ol' psycho, girl!" cracks me up every damn time I see it.
I'm a liberal gun owner by krushjudgement	Jul 1st, 2008 12:52:38 PM

Perlman is a nice guy by Bass Bastardson	Jul 1st, 2008 12:59:44 PM
I worked briefly on that Magnificent Seven TV series he was on back in the late 90's and I will say from first hand knowledge that he is a nice guy. I didn't actually get to know him that well but the several times we interacted he was very friendly and nice.

Cannot wait for this movie. by rbatty024	Jul 1st, 2008 01:57:11 PM
This is a very clever ad campaign. As excited as I am about the new movie, up until now the ads haven't been enough to draw in the unconverted. Hopefully that is about to change. On a side note, I'm very liberal on most issues, but I thought Scalia's judgment on gun control (whose opinions are almost always unbearable and sometimes contradictory) was a good one from a legislative point of view. It might be a little iffy as far as a Constitutional interpretation. I believe in some gun control but have no problem with law abiding citizens defending themselves and hunting.
Ron Perlman on Inside The Actors Studio by skimn	Jul 1st, 2008 02:02:04 PM

My mom was big into Beauty and the Beast conventions back in the day and she's met the whole cast at one point or another: Perlman, Roy Dotrice, Armin Shimmerman, etc. She says they're all pretty down to earth. Ron doesn't like the screaming fangirl approach, but if you treat him like a normal guy he's apparently super-cool. Linda Hamilton never went to one of those things though. And it pleases me to see all the Name of the Rose and Quest for Fire love. I can't get enough of those movies.

Perlman good to his fans by cathartist	Jul 1st, 2008 03:00:31 PM
A few years back while hyping the first HB movie i stumbled upon a Perlman signing in NYC at one of the big comic book stores. I waited in line for three hours and was one of the last people in line. He was only supposed to sign for two hours but wanted to make sure every fan got a handshake and an autograph. When i finally got to meet him his hand was like a limp fish from signing a few hundred autographs but he still smiled, shook my hand, and signed the sketch of Hellboy i drew while waiting in line for so long. He's tops in my book!
Yeah, well.. by Speed Fricassee	Jul 1st, 2008 03:07:04 PM
... you should hear the way Perlman talks to his agent about what he thinks of shows, promo events & such, when he thinks no one else is listening. I'm just saying. And now you know who I heard it from... Perlman himself, when he thought no one else was listening. But hey, maybe he was having a bad day, it happens.
Perlman is great to his fans... by Bootskin	Jul 1st, 2008 03:09:05 PM
Met him at a con right before Hellboy (don't remember which one). He was gracious and patient while dealing with us nerds. He was also rather pleased with me when I told him his performance in "The Name of the Rose" was oscar worthy. Well...it was...
Anyone who thinks he's a dick... by Bootskin	Jul 1st, 2008 03:09:47 PM

Del Toro seems to be gaining a lot of power. by heyscot	Jul 1st, 2008 05:29:55 PM
I love the guy just based on everything I've seen and read about him so far. He seems to really be coming into his own as a respected filmmaker who is hopefully given the freedom he's earned with such amazing movies like Pan's Labyrinth. The other thing is, to me, I really liked Hellboy but I felt like someone messed with him on it. I was honestly surprised to see another Hellboy movie made, but I'm glad it got made. Del Toro is a fricking genius and I feel lucky to be able to watch his movies. The fact he was given the keys to The Hobbit was awesome and I just can't wait to see what he does with it. I actually feel like he could make a better Rings movie than Peter Jackson and I hope they give him creative freedom to make it into his own versus just simply a companion piece to Jackson's trilogy.

Just saw another Hellboy commercial on TBS by mrfan	Jul 1st, 2008 08:22:47 PM
Never seen it before. Kind of like the ones on TBS that people call in and see if a situation is considered funny. This time Hellboy calls and wants to find out about if his relationship with Liz is good. Good stuff.
Speed Fricassee I've worked with Ron Perlman by darth brooklyn	Jul 1st, 2008 08:36:45 PM
And I can attest to the fact that the man is not as you put it a "dick". He's a really nice and very unassuming guy. I'm a photographer. I shot on him on assignment about a year and half ago. He was actually shocked that my assistants and I were fans of his. So before you come on a public forum, unless you've been in the person's presence you might want to think twice before using the "D" word. Or were you just falling into the typical AICN be an ass on the internet decorum? If so please pardon my attempt to enlighten you.

It's official: Ron Perlman? Not a dick. by Biggie Kaiju	Jul 1st, 2008 09:27:19 PM
I don't know if the movie was discussed on the show or if he told this story, but here's a funny tidbit Perlman story from "Alien: Resurrection." In the scene where Ripley makes that incredible throw with the basketball, Sigourney Weaver nailed it on only the second take. Perlman immediately exploded (in the good way, not the "I'm a dick" way), nearly ruining the take. If you watch the movie, there's a cut right after the ball goes through to Johner's silent stunned face. They clearly had to piece that together, but not for a bad reason. I guess he was just psyched she pulled it off. I read this, I think, in a book about the series. Anyway, he was one of the best parts of that flick. "I can't believe I almost fucked ya." I hope "Hellboy II" is a big hit for him. But I don't know; the first one didn't make big-time money in the U.S. Hope it's not another "Chronicles of Riddick" situation. Looks awesome from what I've seen...

I give credit where credit is due. Good for you for owning a gun. And to be fair, I hate self-absorbed, fascist conservatives just as much. Quantize, I did it tongue in cheek. Relax and go back to drinking your soy-infused mocha latte while reading Camus at the local cafe.
Jason and Arsenio by Bouncy X	Jul 1st, 2008 10:01:18 PM
not sure if this was the same or he was there twice but during the "Jason Goes to Hell" promotion...he was on the show and just stood with the band and looked menacing. the only thing i remember is him trying to play the keyboard with his machete.

You and I have gone at it before in these forums, and I truly have a healthy respect for you, but did you read my post above before you joined in? I live and work in LA, and I happen to hear a lot of what the big names are saying when there are no shows or events or media listening in. You know, when they are at their most honest. But like I also said above -- perhaps he was having a bad day; it happens.

Lipton is an attention whore by Rupee88	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:06:51 AM
tell me it ain't true
James Lipton by dvdhound79	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:42:02 AM
You can't ask for a better person so willing to make fun of himself for our pleasure. Arrested Development, Conan O'Brian, his interview with "himself". The guy loves being a punching bag and he's good at it. Give him more.

Funny and original :)
Perlman does a lot of game voiceovers too by JIMBOCOP	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:52:16 AM
Including HALO 2 & 3, TUROK, TRU CRIME and of course narrating FALLOUT ("War... War never changes.")
TRU CRIME by JIMBOCOP	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:53:47 AM
is TRUE CRIME, not to be mistaken for TRU CALLING and all that shit
Ron Perlman is a DICK by redfist	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:56:44 AM

Lipton is a WHORE by redfist	Jul 2nd, 2008 03:58:38 AM

I will watch James Lipton for Ron Perlman, but I will not do so for Hellboy
reload: liberal and anti-gun, not so much whiny by necgray	Jul 2nd, 2008 09:55:45 AM
I mean, if you want me to bitch and moan to comply to your stupid stereotype, I'm willing to oblige. Cuz I'm a nice guy. Meanwhile, shut the fuck up. Oh, and Hellboy's gun is cool. As are the thousands of guns in any given classic John Woo movie. Hey, I can enjoy the aesthetics of a gunfight and still believe the average asshole shouldn't be packing heat...
Ron Perlman in: FUCK OFF, I'M EATING! by Stuntcock Mike	Jul 2nd, 2008 10:25:18 AM

my fave line from the esteemed mr. perlman, _blade 2_, un film de del toro. i read that shock cinema interview, too, and he certainly did sound down to earth and rather delighted by his unique career. his praise and gratitude for guillermo seemed to say it all: evidently, _hellboy 1_ was held up for years because producers could not convince g.d.t. to put someone other than ron through the full-body red make-up and sawed-off horns shtick. c'mon, talk about someone born for the part! overall, it's cool to have some good roles for the enormously underrated ron p. -- i think we haven't seen half of he's capable of onscreen. (oh, and selma blair will be mine. yes. she will be mine...)
other roles Ron Perlman was born to play by ArcadianDS	Jul 2nd, 2008 11:56:18 AM
Anyone else think he would have made the Mummy movies 10x more watchable? I think its time to revive the Alan Quartermaine franchise with Perlman in the iconic role.
Pam commercial? by necgray	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:34:49 PM
Okay, maybe I'm crazy and made this up in my head, but does anyone else remember Perlman doing Pam cooking spray commercials in the late 80s? I swear I remember him eating a grilled green pepper in one of the ads...
redfist, that's because Perlman is secretly by necgray	Jul 2nd, 2008 02:02:10 PM
an aquatic mammal, much like the dolphin. So don't eat seafood around him.
