Spectacularly innovative theater auditorium display from 1978 for "Jaws 2."

Released on June 12, 1981, CLASH OF THE TITANS brought Greek mythology to the big screen in spectacular fashion and marked the end of an era for fantasy filmmaking. Starring Harry Hamlin as Perseus, the film featured legendary creatures including Medusa, Pegasus, Kraken, and Calibos, all brought to life through the groundbreaking stop-motion animation of special effects master Ray Harryhausen. Filled with adventure, monsters, and mythological spectacle, CLASH OF THE TITANS became a favorite of fantasy fans and introduced a new generation to Harryhausen's incredible work. Fun fact: CLASH OF THE TITANS was the final feature film to showcase Ray Harryhausen's famous "Dynamation" stop-motion effects technique. After a career spanning more than three decades and classics such as JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS and THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, Harryhausen ended his filmmaking career with what many consider his last great masterpiece. More than 40 years later, the Medusa sequence remains one of the most suspenseful and impressive special effects scenes ever put on film. What's your favorite Ray Harryhausen creature?

Just came out of the theater showing Disclosure Day. All I'll say is, I'm expecting to see a lot of pissed off posts about it. I can think of another title but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone

Gotta wonder if this is a result of the art director's complaints or would this have happened anyway once the box office receipts get paid. 🤔

Did you know the Rolling Stones recorded a Rice Krispies jingle in 1964? Just found out today... 😜

I was wondering why Mer-Man was just hanging out with random Eternians at the end. It turns out some of the prosthetics guys found out that he wouldn't be in the movie so they just made a full Mer-Man suit on their own and showed it to Travis Knight. He got such a quick out of their initiative that he just put him in the background as an Easter Egg. 😂

Director Travis Knight explains how Queen guitarist Brian May got involved in the ‘MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE’ score. “When I started talking to [composer] Daniel Pemberton, one of my touchstones was the De Laurentiis Flash Gordon from the 80s... with that iconic score from Queen.”

In 1980, Mattel designer Roger Sweet originated the concept for a powerful new hero as a fusion of Frazetta’s Conan, Flash Gordon adventure, and the space fantasy of Star Wars. Artist Mark Taylor developed the initial designs with Prince Valiant’s Arthurian aesthetic, and thus was born He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Travis Knight’s new film perfectly blends the spirit of the original toys, mini-comics, and Filmation cartoon.

About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved! She could pick up objects as large as a broom or rake and move them around with her prehensile tongue, changing their length and orientation to ensure the best possible scratch. The behavior isn’t just a clever trick: It’s the first documented case of tool use in cattle, scientists report.
