and yes, to whoever asked, rattlesnakes are only found in the Americas. However I've gotten better about turning the biogeography part of my brain off during M'don since a Dracula movie where opossums, armadillos, and Jerusalem crickets appeared in Dracula's castle in quick succession

I know Harryhausen thought other films were his favourite, I still think this is his crowning achivement. So many different stop motion animated bits, all done effectively, all being fun (even if you thought Bubo didn't belong, you can't deny stop-motion makes sense for a clockwork owl.)

"Use the shield to reflect"

*Throws shield so it will get shot. Now doesn't have the shield.*

Seriously, this is not the smartest protagonist even in Greek action films...

i'm glad they had the flashback voice, because otherwise i would have assumed it was all the other times the shield saves his life, ya know, by being a shield. #monsterdon

In reality, the gods made Medusa so hot that all the men who looked at her got permanent rock-hard boners. But then something was lost in translation.

This movie and Krull are very very similar with this having better effects, a marginally more comprehensible plot but Krull at least was a bit more snappy. #monsterdon

Oh is this finally explaining to me why medusas are archer troops in the Heroes of Might in Magic games? #monsterdon

Nice of Medusa to have one of the redtunics killed at just the right time to prompt Perseus to hide behind a pillar

When she so easily could have just stepped out and fried them all

I don't think I can forgive Perseus for that. He killed a doggy who was already down. I hope Medusa makes a coffee mug out of his face.

Well she'll stone you when you're walkin' on the street,

She'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat,

She'll stone you when you're walkin' on the floor,

She'll stone you when you walk in through the door.

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned!
