Okay, so they're remaking Clash of the Titans with Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, playing Zeus and Hades respectively. How freakin awesome is that?

If you haven't seen Clash of the Titans, what the hell dude. It is only the most badass movie featuring stop motion and greek mythology

Who can forget Harry Hamlin's performance? and giant fucking monsters!


All of us probably went through a phase growing up where we were obsessed with greek mythology, don't lie. Where we set sail to do battle against troy and disguised ourselves as geese to score with a fair maiden. Where this book was your bible:

And hey, norse mythology is pretty badass too. But really, bad call on not saying whats up to the mistletoe tree though

so dudes, lets geek out over mythology

    Clash of the Titans is one of my favorite movies.

    A big part of that was the awesome stop motion stuff though, so probably not gonna like the new one.

    I love me some Clash of the Titans, and I honestly would adore it a million times over if the new movie was also stop-motion. It doesn't hurt that I would gladly watch Liam Neeson tie his shoelaces or read the back of cereal boxes.

    For the moment I will have to settle for The 12 Tasks of Asterix as I go to sleep.

    yeah, the stop motion is kinda key in the old movie. hopefully the new movie isn't a CG wankfest and they make it semi-old schoolish

    He was terrible. And Laurence Olivier was better and much more analogous to Liam Neeson's professional career as an actor. Though it remains to be seen if he will live up to that position. I'd argue someone akin to Michael Caine is more in that role at the moment.

    I guess mostly I don't like mythology that much, for any culture.

    But Greek history is pretty boring compared to all the other civilizations doing stuff at the same period.

    But when I was a kid I really liked the Hercules movie.

    Mythology is enjoyable to read, yet quite useless in the end.
