Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
Interesting story I heard about the Man Faye thing (look it up, related to above image), the guy somewhat regrets the amount of fame he has gained from the incident because it blew way out of proportion and now he gets banned from certain events >:

Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
I want to see that remake. I'm not generally against remakes as I want to see what a new perspective can add to the universe. And really, watching the original, which wasn't deep, and didn't have that good of special effects, and fairly cheesy dialogue... they can't go too wrong.

Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
I'm personally liking the notion of Liam Neelson as Zeus. And I have always wondered what they could do with modern special effects with some of the things that they do in the movie (Calibos, medusa, the kraken, of course) but some of them are still pretty timeless. I don't think I've seen another medusa that holds up to that one. (Course, not many movies use medusi...)

Liam Neeson?
This movie is awesome officially.
Also yeah. Gorgons have not been used in many movies so... maybe the new one will become timeless.

Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
That would be him. Neeson. I always want to tack in the L for some reason. But yes. He is Zeus.
And you know, come to think of it, I can't think of any movie off the top of my head that's had medeusa/gorgons in it outside of Clash. Anyone else? Disney's Hercules, maybe, but I don't think they crossed the myths over.

Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
I don't recall any of the Gorgons being present in the Disney movie...Of course, I really didn't pay much attention, since they screwed with the myths a bit much for my tastes.
Also, as a side note... Gorgon(s) is the correct term, unless you're referring specifically to the one that was mortal, since Medusa was her name. Not the species name, as some many erroneously use it.

Re: Images of Wonder Truth and Fear...
This is true, but if you say 'gorgon' most people don't know to what you're referring but if you say 'a medusa,' then they know. And then there's D&D that has both. (And weren't they all mortal at one point? I'm a bit hazy at the moment. I know medusa got cursed and that's how she ended up that way.)
