James Lipton Meets Hellboy
James Lipton, host of Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio, ever more closely resembles the caricature Will Ferrell once played of Lipton. After self-aggrandizing turns on Arrested Development and in a Geico commercial, Lipton’s now turned up in a comic movie promo.
Check out the below ad for the quickly approaching Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, featuring an interview with Ron Perlman in full Hellboy gear. "Boo yah," indeed.

The Hellboy marketing team is doing a bunch of specific promos tailored to different networks. On SciFi, Hellboy meets the Ghost Hunters — Roto-Rooter plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night; it's a reality show, more or less, and I'm a fan — and that one is ALSO hysterical. I think they've done one for USA networks as well. Very clever marketing, IMO.
We need Martin Short as Jiminy Glick.
Hilarious. Brilliant. I hope these ads get collected as bonus features on the eventual DVD.
