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.
