Joakim, allow me to recommend your twelve year old self see this movie as soon as possible.
I haven't seen it in years, but I remember seeing at the theatre, and renacting the best parts later with my best friend.

I remember seeing trailers for Clash of the Titans when my parents
took me to see The Fox and The Hound. I was scared and excited all at
the same time. I loved monster movies when I was little, and this fit right in,
even thought it wasn't JUST a monster movie, but the monsters (Medusa, the
blind withches and the giant water monster) was all I really cared about at
the time.

Anybody else love one of the other great Greek myth movies, Jason and the Argonauts?

As a kid Greek mythology was like mother's milk to me. Some of the earliest books I had were comics in Greek dealing with famous myths. And, I mean, my father is names Achilles and my mother Andromache....!
D'Aulaires' Norse Myths is quite excellent too.
Arc, enjoy your studies! Reading the originals is incomparable.

I remember when the stop motion special effects in those movies were state of the art.

In my English class sophomore year of high school, we were reading "Medea" so our teacher showed us "Jason and the Argonauts" as a prelude so we'd understand the background. That was great.
I loved how both "Jason" and "Titans" used the chessboard effect for the gods.

I loves stop motion animation! There is something so wonderfully cheesy
and creepy all at the same time.
I think that's why I like Robot Chicken so much. I saw a segment a
couple days ago on there of Michael Knight, having extreme gas while riding
in Kitt.

I like stop-motion as well. I love Moral Orel.
I also love how on shows like "Gumby" where the creatures were clay and not wood (like in Rudolph) you'd see brief thumbprints and fingernail impressions on the creatures.

The skeletons were extra creepy.

Mr. Bill didn't really move though, did he? (My parents were strict, never let me watch SNL in the early 80s.)
