Ms. Munchflower Zaius just showed me this badassariffic Hellboy avatar she created in Second Life on a lark, a tribute to Guillermo de Toro's movie adaptation of the character. She was stirred to send it to me after I posted that Clockwork Orange avatar tribute, and I'm glad she did, because Kubrick aside, I personally like Clockwork less than Hellboy. Ms. Zaius made the shape, skin, clothes, contacts, and hair, and got Hellboy's belt and gun from the SL Marketplace.
And no, it's not for sale, because who wants Guillermo del Toro pissed off at you? However, you can buy Munchflower's many other amazing avatars and fashions fully of her creation: Click here to check them out, and click here for a direct teleport to her store in SL, in her sim Nomine.
The funny thing is that he looks to be only about half as muscular as half the male AVs in SL. And he's got longer arms too. Almost twice as long as the usual infohub suspect. :D
- Which is my way of saying well done.

@Hamlet, if they come for you, just yell "it's only digital cosplay!!" and run for the hills.

"Now i understand why you lobby for Facebook!"
Not sure I see the connection, I just think *Clockwork* is not one of Kubrick's best movies, it's beautiful but also exploitative and misogynistic, or like Pauline Kael says, a porn movie made by a German professor. I'm more of a *2001* and *Strangeglove* fan.

Yeah... My reaction to Clockwork Orange is likely much more extreme than Hamlet's
I felt very uncomfortable with that first scene of the attack on the home... Clockwork Orange is one of those movies that goes over the top to make an under the top point: shock art. To some this is art, to others its not.
Of course I was unable to sit any further through the movie. And this isn't about 'weakness to violence' - I grew up in RL life-threatening violence and have a few cousins in the dirt through unnatural means. It was survival, not entertainment.
I can sit through a war movie, but that scene just got me. Probably because I felt like it was being filmed as if the audience was meant to enjoy it, rather than see the horror of it.
After that there was no value left in the movie for me.

If you've never seen the movie beyond that point, Pussycat... well, then you've not seen what happens to Alex as a result.
Nothing wrong with simply not enjoying it, of course, or finding it triggery.
