Holy crap......

Did anyone else see the trailer for the new Clash of the Titans? It looks really awesome, a far cry from the extremely campy original.

Everyone who hates completely opaque thread titles sound off, plzkthx.
I will ask that you explain yourself. Please do so with the clear understanding that I may decide I am angry enough to destroy all of you and raze this sickening mausoleum of fraud down to the naked rock it stands on.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

As long as it's better than the original. :p

Exactly what is wrong with the original?


And bear in mind that if you do take Harryhausen's name in vain I won't protect you when a horde of forumites rise up to eat your heart. :p

It was ultra campy.

It was made in 1981. Campiness is perfectly normal, even desired, for films from that period.

I'm not taken by most of the modern movie trailers I see nowadays, but that looks like good fun.  :D :yes:

That movie looks awesome and I plan on seeing it.  The Greek mythological beasts are all cool, especially when well-rendered in glorious CGI.  Another plus is that this movie is the closest thing we will get to a God of War movie that doesn't involve Uwe Bol.

17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems
