[Trailer] Clash of the Titans

I hope the rock music is just for the trailers. The old movie's music (by Laurence Rosenthal) was just awesome!

Let's just hope the film lives up to the trailer... Frankly, I'm hoping we get big time action and stirring drama. The one thing the original was missing (by necessity due to the nature of the technology at the time) was great fight sequences. This looks like that's been rectified, particularly with Medusa.

The only thing I don't like is that Hades (in yet another recent movie) is the villain. Clearly, these guys didn't read much Greek myth and/or are cutting things down to suit the lowest common denominator: Hades = The Devil. Lame.

If it doesn't have Bubo though, my inner artificer will be unhappy.

Whereas my inner--and outer--everything will be absolutely thrilled.

I have no problem with steampunk and clockwork. I like steampunk and clockwork.

In their proper place..

Heck, there's even room for them in Mythic Greece, since Hephaestus had pseudo-golems serving him.

But Bubo was stupid.

He was the Jar Jar Binks of Clash. He was clearly shoehorned in as slapstick comic relief for the kids. That's fine in a kids' movie, not anywhere else.

Granted, I haven't watched the original Clash since the Goonies were in theatres, so I can barely remember the owl, let alone its name.

Too far. I'm with you on "stupid Bubo" but Jar Jar was a whole other level of something else entirely. Let's not create mental space where Jar Jar can be looked on as simply something stupid. Bubo is a distraction in a B-Movie, Jar Jar is a cultural offense.
