Thanks as always to @Taweret for hosting another legendary #monsterdon - also @joewynne and @Cherizilla for providing the drinks and sidequest! Tonight was a later entry in the Harryhausen pantheon of movies, "Clash of the Titans" (1981). To recap:
- This one leaned hard on Star Wars, as did every genre movie from that era ,to some extent, which is understandable. Somehow it managed to still stay in it's own lane...
- except for R2-Owl-2 which is fine because it was adorable. Except for its name. Storytellers in antiquity seriously need to not name things after plague sores from the middle ages.
- Suitors who can't solve riddles?? Ya Burnt!
- What if the Doors movie featured a Minoan dream guide instead?
- Falcon Crest levels of drama on Mt. Olympus.
- You wanted a robot without a Texas drawl, and we listened! Enjoy GladOS the robobird.
- Exactly one Titan in a movie about titans clashing.
- Seriously did I miss one?
- Ymir from 20 Million Miles to Earth but with a fresh look.

🦖#MONSTERDON Goodbye!

Thank you @Taweret for hosting this Excellent Epic!

and thanks @Cherizilla for the Bingo card! "Medusa's freaky head" has stayed with me since the original release of the movie.

And to all the members of the Real Time Film Analysis Squad: Thank you for a most entertaining and joyful toga party! Really! Careful of how you dangle your swords this week.

Ursula Andress had ONE LINE. 😕

The moral of the story is that you can produce a big budget film set in Ancient Greece but do all the location shots in Spain, Italy, and Malta and nobody will be unhappy with that except for the Greeks #monsterdon

Happy what-would-have-been-your-105th birthday, Ray Harryhausen.

Thanks to @Taweret for hosting an excellent #Monsterdon; @Cherizilla for the bingo, @miru for the stream, @JoeWynne for the trivia, and all of you for being such witty commentators.

"The Mythologicals, (as themselves)"

Nice touch, movie.

#monsterdon

Perseus struggles with the knot he tied in his magical red cloak to contain the vileness of Medusa's head concealed within

Just cut it! Cut it! Cut the knot!

...Why isn't Perseus catching Medusa's head in the periphery of his vision?
