Looking Directly at Clash of the Titans Trailer Will Turn Your Eardrums to Stone

titanstrailer.jpg· And here it is: The trailer for Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans. First thoughts? Too many clothes, as we’ve whined before. REALLY LOUD PROG RAP ROCK METAL MUSIC! Less vertigo-inducing than Prince of Persia. REALLY BIG SCORPION!!! Still waiting to be sold on Sam Worthington as leading man. OMG! Walnut-faced people! THERE’S THAT SCORPION AGAIN, WATCH OUT! And it looks OK? That’s about it for now. [via ONTD]

· New York has compiled all of Roger Sterling’s one-liners (minus the one about getting a “foot in the door,” curiously) from this season of Mad Men. Kinda loses something plucked out of the oxygen-deficient context of the intense scenes into which they’re usually tossed, but a worthy keepsake nonetheless.

· Taylor Lautner graces the cover of December’s Men’s Health — a moment he’s been waiting for since his wee abs first appeared on the cover of the Feb 2004 issue of Boy’s Health.

· At last — satisfying wrap-ups to several of the most frustratingly vague endings in recent movie and TV history.

· EW has a list of 50 actors they’d watch in anything. Umm…where’s Heigl?

That Clash of the Titans preview is AMAZING! I don't know if it's the Trans Siberian Orchestra providing the backdrop, or the catchline that just smacks you in the face with it's awesomeness (TITANS WILL CLASH), but it's almost enough to make me forget the creepy mechanical owl.

Almost.

The music seems a little... off? Sounds like orchestral Metallica.

"Blood There Will Be" makes me wish for the talent to properly make a video that mashes up Yoda and Daniel Plainview.

Hey, Yoda is a very respected promo man these days, I'll have you know!

Seriously awkward copy.
It's like they don't even try anymore.

And this is coming from someone who gets paid to come up with that sort of sh*t.

Sam Worthington (2009) = Colin Farrell (most of his career)
