I haven't watched Clash of The Titans 2010 in a very long time, and this cast was fucking stacked, like this cast is crazy.
Like there's soo many people in this cast. I can't wait to see how much I actually remember of this movie.

Trick or trivia
Happy Halloween! I do enjoy trivia of many types, but one of my favorite genres is what I call the Berenstein Timeline: unmade shows and movies, versions of classic movies where studios and producers made different decisions, some better, some much worse. All of these are real projects that were, on some level, considered (there are some recurring names)
"Heat Vision & Jack", a 90s pastiche of 70s-80s action shows starring Jack Black as an astronaut on the run from the law and Owen Wilson as his talking motorcycle
"Jurassic Park" directed by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp as Alan Grant, Jim Carrey as Ian Malcolm, and Vincent Price as John Hammond
the 90s "Batman" directed by Ivan Reitman; Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy were going to star but couldn't decide which of them would be Batman and which would be Robin
Back in the 1970s the American network was getting good numbers showing heavily-edited reruns of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", so they tried to sell the Pythons on the next logical step: an animated Saturday morning cartoon
"Edward Scissorhands" still directed by Burton but starring Tom Cruise or maybe Michael Jackson
"Return of the Jedi" directed by David Lynch; Harrison Ford was considering not coming back for the third movie and so when he came out of the carbonite there was a chance he would have been Christopher Walken
Guillermo del Toro's "At the Mountains of Madness". Also "the Hobbit" and lots of other things, he seems to have a lot of unmade projects
the 2010s "Star Trek" movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, where the edgy reboot crew visits the Gangster Planet from that one stupid episode of the original series
Everybody knows about the unmade "Superman Lives" starring Nicolas Cage in the title role, but did you know it was going to be directed by Tim Burton and include Christopher Walken as Brainiac, who would have been a green head on spider legs
Harold Ramis didn't particularly want to act on camera, so when they were casting "Ghostbusters" Egon could have been Christopher Walken, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, or John Lithgow. Supposedly the movie was originally intended to be a relatively serious exploration of Dan Akroyd's very real interest in paranormal investigation, although this clashes a bit with the fact that Peter Venkman was originally going to be played by John Belushi and Winston Zeddmore was written for Eddie Murphy who backed out when the character's backstory and most of his lines were cut
John Waters' animated series "Uncle John" on 90s MTV
the original version of "Bill & Ted's Time Van" starring Pauly Shore and Sean Penn
"Red Dragon" (the original Hannibal Lecter novel) directed by David Lynch starring John Lithgow as Hannibal Lecter and Mel Gibson as Will Graham
the 1970s "Dr. Strange" TV series
the 1990s Disney animated "John Carter of Mars"
the 1990s Warner Bros animated "King Tut" musical with songs by Prince
the serious horror version of "Beetlejuice"
Drew Barrymore's 2000s remake of "Barbarella"
the Dungeons & Dragons movie James Cameron was going to make until TSR left the table over merchandising disputes, forcing Cameron to go work on some dumb movie about the Titanic
American "Doctor Who" movie starring Michael Jackson
Canadian "Doctor Who" cartoon by Nelvana starring a Doctor based intensely off of either Jeff Goldblum or Christopher Lloyd
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" directed by Terry Gilliam
"Good Omens" directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Robin Williams
"The Black Cauldron" using character and background designs by Nightmare-era Tim Burton

On the subject of Greek mythology, people are sleeping on the incestuous bromantic potential of Zeus/Hades in that corny early 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans and its sequel Wrath of the Titans. You can even call it "old man yaoi" if you want, though it isn't.
As with many things, where are the fics?

My hot(?) animation takes
don't take these too seriously, just my opinions. Inspired by my friend @ginger-snap-talkin-nonsense's hot take saga thingy but less ig idk lol.
the future of animation is actually in a more interesting position than it was in the 2010s, thanks to the strikes and the pulling of animation from many "mainstream" services, I am expecting a huge rise in indie stuff.
2010s animation focusing more on lore than making enjoyable media has hurt animation more in the long run than helped. While this may seem like it could clash with my first statement, I think the first statement would have never happened if most series stuck to making enjoyable media that has some lore beats than making lore beats with no backdrop. This has caused companies to overall be more cautious even picking up series due to multitudes of reasons. While the prospect of indie animation is exciting, it will also lesser the chances of most animation getting good amount of attention.
Animation "fans" disrespecting offbeat shows like Fanboy and Chum Chum, Johnny Test, Teen Titans Go, and more is a crime. If those shows aired during the 90s, you would see them being called cult classics or built up as shows that made peoples childhoods. But because they aired during times where people wanted "better cartoons" AKA lore shows, they got the short end of the stick that they didn't deserve. Killing off an entire genre that made up cartoons for years for a good decade.
The 2000s was the most interesting era of cartoons, due to how many varieties there were and how many obscure cartoons there were. I can't think of any other era where multiple Canadian shows could get as much airtime as American ones. Where multiple companies tried to make original movies on DVDs, with a variety of quality. Where movies like "Grandma got Run Over By a Reindeer" and "Hoodwinked" could even exist. The amount of variety is insane when taking a deeper look, and besides the early years of animation, I don't think there has been any other era with that much variety before or since.
Chicken Little isn't that bad and isn't Disney's worst by a long shot. Home on the Range is way worse in every way
Total Drama Pakitew Island is one of the best seasons of the show
That's all I can think off my head.
