Not at all, when I was a boy it was all about Jason and the Argonauts and Hercules with my friends and I. We would take old broom handles, cut them to length with our fathers saws, grab a couble of garbage can lids, and go on adventures.

Good times man.

Re: Clash of the Titans


I really liked the first movie. The effects were quite advanced for it's time, and I always have a weakness for movies of the era.

Of course, I saw the first movie when it came out in the theater, most of you who are panning it have only seen it on TV, 20 or more years since its release.

Anyone who already saw the movie remake aboard? Someone who can tell me - remake is great you must see that? Current IMDB rating is 8,3 but i am sure some people rate even they not saw the movie.

Yes the effects were awesome for its time. I didn't see it when it came out in the theatres , but I did see it when it on TV in the early 80's only a few years after release. It seems now that my generation is in charge of most of the Entertainment world. I see more and more of the remakes of shows and movies that I grew up on. Kinda cool and kind of sad at the same time. LOL

Re: Clash of the Titans


Just saw it last night- absolutely horrible. Surprisingly low budget for such a hyped movie. It didn't have anything to love about it and some of it was just so ******* random that me and my dochi were watching it with the most confused looks of horror on our faces.

What a waste!!
