Narnia-Ghostbusters Crossover

My dad just got back from the hospital this morning, so he isn't feeling that great. I thought I'd draw him something quick, and this was my first thought. He's always joking about this scene in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so I thought I'd go ahead and make it out for him.

Get better, Daddy~

Mythical Inaccuracies in the Movies -- CotT (2010) Part 4

And that concludes this edition of Mythical Inaccuracies in the Movies.

Normally I'd be able to put aside the inaccuracies and actually enjoy the movie, but there was one thing about this certain movie. I read in the trivia section of its imdb profile that Sam Worthington, the actor who plays Perseus, took this role because he wanted his young (I believe nine years old) nephew to have an accurate, good mythological movie in his generation.

I'm not trying to be mean here, though I am rather frustrated that this is acceptable in society. The ancient myths that were told by our ancient ancestors are just fine the way they are. Sure, not much happens on Perseus's flight to Medusa's lair, but the overall myth itself s one my absolute favorite myths. Nothing is wrong with them, very little about them needs to be tweaked. They are fine on their own.

By the way, Kristi is my go-to when I find something I'm not quite sure about. She knows more about Egyptian, Asian, and European mythologies rather than Greek. I guess it was too mainstream for her.

If anyone actually cared about this, I apologize for the delay and thank you for actually caring.

Mythical Inaccuracies in the Movies -- Clash of the Titans (2010), Part 1

It's no secret to nearly everyone I know that Greek mythology is my passion (that and Disney Princesses). So, naturally, it upsets me when the movie industry screws the stories up. Unfortunately, this happens in pretty much every movie that's made about any mythology. Greek, Roman, Arabic, Egyptian, Christian; you name it, it's probably been butchered.

One such case, and probably one of the worst, is the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans.


When I first saw this movie, I was extremely excited to see it. I thought this was going to be one of the best movies of the year.

I was extremely disappointed within the first five minutes of the movie. I wanted to leave the theatre within the next twenty minutes, the only things keeping me there were my father and the awesome special effects.

Now that I have my own laptop to carry around with my at school, I could critic the movie after I finished my school work. I joked around with my friends and family, telling them I would nitpick all of the mythical errors out of the movie. A while back I got bored enough to actually begin the project. I thought that, after the first few minutes, the inaccuracies would stop because the explaining would be done. I was horribly wrong, of course (though the majority of the inaccuracies ARE within the first ten-twenty minutes).

I really wish I could tell you that it's not as bad as I'm making it out to be, but that's unfortunately not true. The whole movie is about 95 minutes (without the credits) long. The inaccuracies? Five away from being 1 per minute. And that's without me really nitpicking at it. Granted, I only watched to movie once all the way through for this project, but still, 90?


For your enjoyment, I've decided to post the list here. However, since there are so many, I'm going to be diving it into parts. I'm not quite sure how to divide it, though. For this post, I think I'll just have the first 15, and move on from there.

I hope you have lots of free time on your hands.

EDIT: I don't know how I forgot to put this in there: Argos did indeed play a roll in the myth of Perseus, it was were King Acrisius ruled. After Perseus killed his grandfather by accident, he did not claim Argos as his kingdom, as was his birthright. Instead, ashamed because of the murder, he gave Argos to Megapenthes. Perseus went on to found Mykenai.

Do forgive me for the quality of the photos, especially since they are so hard to read. I'll probably post some others, hopefully easier to read, tomorrow afternoon.

Call me a nerd, a geek, a loser, go ahead and tell me that a I have no life, troll me, send me hate mail, and all of that. I don't care. This was actually really fun for me.

Good Lawd

I am watching Ghostbusters, random piece of information.

I haven't updated since, what?, early February? Well, I've got some updates since then:

1) The Sci-fi is on a slight hold, so I can finish the:
2) Romance in the works. Remember A+A? Yeah, I decided to write it as a book now. I can't really write comics or anything very well, so, yeah.
3)Updating my NaNoWriMo, Makaria, as well. Why? I need something to do when I'm bored with the Romance or Sci-Fi. Which happens a lot I've noticed.

I'm never going to get anything done.

I might also start posting information on the main characters for the different novels, by the way (including picture because I really need to practice working on my tablet).

I got my haircut. I look like Haku from Spirited Away but blond.

"Backpacks Don't Have Sexual Orientation."

That's a quote from gym class, one of the best classes of the day. :)

I haven't updated A+A in a while because I've been busy with my novel. I think it'll just be something I update when ever I get the chance, instead of every week like a planned.

"Really?"
"No…"

I discovered a new game recently, it's a browser game that's surprisingly fun dispite the lack of graphics. It's called Alter ego. Try it, it's a little slow at first, but it speeds up before you know it. It's addictive, though, because I've barely finished my Future Problem Solving homework because I found this. In other words: BE. CAREFUL.
