The film chronicles the heroic journey of Perseus, son of a mortal mother and immortal father—Zeus, chief among the gods on Olympus. The vengeful goddess Thetis, seeing Zeus’ affection for the boy, spirits Perseus away from his peaceful island home to Joppa, where he befriends an aging playwright named Ammon. In Joppa, Perseus also learns of the stunning Princess Andromeda, whom Thetis has cursed. If Perseus (or any other brave suitor) can solve Andromeda’s riddle, the princess will be his. A bad guess, however, means instant death.
In searching for an answer, Perseus comes across the winged horse Pegasus, who becomes another friend and loyal companion. The handsome Perseus does solve Andromeda’s riddle, but Thetis has another foul trick up her billowy sleeve: In thirty days, Andromeda must be sacrificed to the great Kraken, an enormous sea beast, or Joppa will be destroyed. The only way to defeat the Kraken is with the severed head of Medusa, a snake-like Gorgon whose look turns any creature to stone. But a quest to find and retrieve the Gorgon’s head would be nearly as suicidal as taking on the Kraken itself.
Clash of the Titans made the occasional nod to Star Wars, throwing in a cute mechanical owl called Bubo for comic relief, but the focus was fully on grand spectacle, delivered with old-school special effects and classical, mythic storytelling. The film was only modestly received in its time, but an entire generation of fantasy buffs still holds it up as a modern classic, one of the last great examples of pre-computer-age creature cinema.
“Find…and fulfill your destiny!”

<i>'Am I a freak just because I sometimes pretend I am the mechanical owl from the movie "CLASH OF THE TITANS" as I prance around the house, wearing nothing more than an oven mit, to the background beat of Enyas' hit song "ORINICO FLOW"?'</i>
LMAO. And your arms are flapping up and down? You know, that show might earn you money if performed on stage.

Welcome to Sciforums, taylan007.
We are just folk from all over the world here. There is a constant influx of new blood which adds to the mix. Always there are new ideas and thoughts as well as some reoccurring themes. Some of the older members are some of most reasoning and helpful people you will find anywhere. Sort of an internet good neighbor. I find this site refreshing for its people. You do not find the flaming and crudeness that you find elsewhere either, as Porfiry mentioned, it is civilized. Try some of the other boards like in the Yahoo group and I think it iwll be enough to drive you away from message boards if it were not for sites like this. I found this board when it was Exosci, just before the change over to Sciforums and you could say I have found a home. It is here. I like this place with all it's characters and quirkyness it is a fine place. So stay around and see.

Just remember, taylan007 ...
You can't really become a member of this community until you have met, and defeated, the Vourklun on a field of battle of his choosing. I suggest you choose the mace ... unless you are adept at some other ancient weapon of battle.
Good luck ... and may you survive

I'm just somebody who can't stand chat boards & likes to hear prepared thoughts by others. I also like science and the discussion of new science ideas, although it can get a little weird sometimes <img src="http://sciforums.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=57641">

Help please?
Does anyone know where there might be LOTS of avatars to choose from, or how I can find a pic that I like and make it really small to call my own? Sorry, I know you've probably had this question thousands of times but I'm getting envious at all the cool avatars that are appearing.
Cheers

P.S.
Welcome Taylan007, we really are a diverse group. I like to think of it like a continuous dinner party where you can sit and talk to someone, then go and sit somewhere else at the table and have a chat to them, and so on. Come and go as you please. Enjoy yourself. Be yourself.
Cheers

Do a search on google, teri 2 for avatars. From what I can recollect the results are few and satisfactory. Once you get a good picture and if you want to edit it down go to www.gifworks.com, but it must be a .gif file. Hope this helps!
