But yes, it was a fairly humorless movie that seemed underdeveloped at so many levels.<br /><br /><i>The New Yorker</i> summed it up best:<br /><br /><i>Like the wiser actors around him, he [Mads Mikkelsen] is more amused than awed by the proceedings, clearly realizing that, as the action slips from scorpion to gorgon, and from gorgon to Kraken, what is at stake here is not an enlightening quest, or a Homeric journey, but a series of levels, each one tougher than the last. That is why I am, in all honesty, reviewing "Clash of the Titans" three months too soon. On July 10th, it will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 350, and only then, I feel, will it truly come into its own. The film, diverting but far from Titanic, is no more than a task to be completed along the way.</i>Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-91711665159654684862010-04-11T02:01:11.269-05:002010-04-11T02:01:11.269-05:00Wow, that movie sounds kind of appalling, like wha...Wow, that movie sounds kind of appalling, like what the 2000 re-make of H.G. Wells <i>Time Machine</i> did to the original story.<br /><br />It's a pity, too, because I actually liked the original <i>Clash of the Titans</i> (it helped that I was a kid, and it had nudity). Aside from that, it was entertaining, and not <i>too</i> far from the Greek mythology.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-56893608822509319782010-04-08T07:02:57.285-05:002010-04-08T07:02:57.285-05:00I think I have a natural affinity for poetry.

Not so much the casting of thoughts into verse (although I have done that without those being too doggerel :P), but with a sense of a rhythm to what I write and what I "hear" when I read. It certainly affects what I like to read.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-41593360431107079522010-04-08T06:37:33.609-05:002010-04-08T06:37:33.609-05:00Sadly, no.

I think it is a personal flaw of mine that I cannot enjoy the art form and there are many amazing poets, but if I read it, then I am forcing myself and in the end the whole experience is wasted on me.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-14845083913876718632010-04-08T03:48:59.432-05:002010-04-08T03:48:59.432-05:00You've started it?

I need an image to take me into good creative places [btw I started plotting the squirrel punk story] and yes, dialogue will always be a strong criteria for me, but it will take on a second place. <br /><br />It's why music videos [when done right] enhance the song I fancy. <br /><br />I will take note and try to see this one.Harry Markovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140305922494369576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-40519086695471862902010-04-08T01:05:35.750-05:002010-04-08T01:05:35.750-05:00I'm a very auditory person and the CGI never i...I'm a very auditory person and the CGI never impressed me (visuals rarely do, unless it's of real nature scenes and not monsters :P), so I knew going in that unless the dialogue and plot execution were superb, the movie would be a waste for me.
