Clash of the Shitans!

This isn't going to be a long post but I just wanted to say Clash of the Titans sucked the biggest amount of ass!

Don't get me wrong I love this type of film, and my friends will tell you I am very easy going when it comes to critiquing Hollywood blockbusters, and it did have all of the elements to make it a great mindless sitting there with a bucket of popcorn 2 hour excursion to ancient Greece. The problem was none of it really came together and despite all of the action it was really, really boring.

You want to fight as a man. I don't care.

You've killed Medusa. I don't care.

You have to get Medusa's head back to Argos. I don't care.

You killed the Kraken. I don't care.

You sent Hades back to the underworld. I don't care.

Zeus has botox all over his face. I don't care, but Liam Neeson your better than this.

Let's set the ending up for a sequel. I DON'T CARE.

Problem 1 Accents: Pete Posthletwaite (again don't know or care if this is spelt right) adopted Perseus, fine. Pete and his wife had an English accent, not fine, but I will discuss this in a later post, but I can accept it. Perseus grows up with two English accented parents and his first words in the film might as well have been "Throw another Shrimp on the Barbie". What the fuck? And the trend continued. Liam Cunningham, great grumpy Irish actor, doing a English accent. 2 other red shirts with American accents. The 2 only really Greek looking guys in the film with Armid Djalilli Iranian accents? Again, the Fuck?

Problem 2 3D: The 3D was shit! I spent the first twenty minutes wondering was I watching the the 2D version. You can completely tell they did it slap dash at the last minute because of Avatar. You used to see better 3D in the 80's on Channel 4.

Problem 3 Sam Worthington: Someone needs to tell Sam Worthington to fuck off. Ok, he was the best thing in Terminator Salvation, where he played a confused wooden cyborg.

He was the worst thing about Avatar, where he played a blue confused em... avatar.

And in Clash he just looked confused.

Problem 4 Louis Letterier. I really like everything the guy has done up until now, but this just had no heart! Again all of the elements were there for it to be great but some key areas were just missing. There was no spark

So if I was to boil it down to what exactly made it bad.

1. The director took a misstep

2. The score wasn't good enough

3. Sam Worthington's shitness

Rant over, you may carry on.

The reason for this blog

Question: What is the reason for this blog?

Answer: I don't know really.

I do know that will have no cohereance and I will be blogging about a very different range of stuff. When I was thinking about setting up a blog I had a look at what is out there, and I got a major case of blog envy. I see people with 100 in depth posts about a holiday in Maraquesh (I don't know or care if this is spelt right) or blogs about the food people cooked this week. And if I'm to be truthful (and I hope to be) I know I don't have the time or patience to write anyhting that in depth. I think it's because I'm a bit lazy.

So the plan is to write at least once a week about something, what that is i don't know. But I am going to try and not write about the day to day of my own life, as with most peoples it's interesting and important to me but I know it's going to make me come across like an idiot

I'm also aware that I will be mostly blogging into a black hole and that nobody will read my posts, which is quite interesting and leads me to the great question about blogging.

"If you blog and nobody reads it, are you a complete fucking loser?"

The answer my dear followers, sorry, my dear void of cyber space is... We will soon find out, if I can be holed to ever write another post.
