that is obviously shit
but my real hatred of them stems from the poor quality of their music, while still lauded as the best band in the world

There's a guide out there somewhere on t'interweb, called "How to Sing the Blues"
and whilst he's obviously a peddler of cheap, nasty '80s pop rather than blues, I think one point is universally valid.

"No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old ethnic person, and you slept in it."

I was going to argue using that RnB girl who was in Queen of the Damned
but I don't think she was that bad and I can't spell her name, so I'll just agree.

And she was alright, I quite liked "Try Again", but I couldn't name any of her other songs.

Queen of the Damned was a fucking dreadful film

is clash of the titans rubbish then?

Rant incoming
It's got FUCKING DJINN in it!! I don't remember the epic poem being some kind of Ancient Greek Mythology/Arabic Mythology mashup?!

Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't read it all, but fucking DJINN?!

Oh, and the 3D made the film worse.

not that I've seen it, but apparently Medusa is classified as a Titan.

SHE'S NOTTTT

I can't remember if they claim she is or not
I was still fuming about the Djinn.
The only good thing about the movie is that it made me want to ride a giant scorpion to work.

She's a gorgan isn't she?
I'd heard that 3D made the film worse. I reckon it did with Alice in Wonderland too.

I really can't be arsed with 3D

But not in Clash of the Titans.

yeah, it did work in Avatar
but I still think I would have enjoyed it the same amount in 2D. I can take it or leave it.

She's a gorgon, yes
the Titans were the precursors to the Olympians (the current/well known lot of Gods)

Chronos is probably the most well-known.

Not seen the original or the remake

( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 25 May 2010, 13:47, Reply)

the original is awesome
I'm assuming that there aren't any titans in it though, as it has the usual gods, a few gorgons and some fishy thing they call the Kraken

That's a fair point
I really do fail to see what their appeal is, and yet for some reason they are lauded by some as one of the pinnacles of modern rock music. (Which might explain why modern rock music is so shit) And who decided "The Edge" was a good guitarist?

But whenever I get angry about that, this usually calms me down. _{(I was in the audience of this performance. Woo.)}
