Ashley Cook I watched the ‘80s version of “Clash of the Titans” on television many times when I was a child. Up until a few weeks ago, I had not seen the classic since then. Knowing a new version of the film was about to be released in theaters, Forest and I decided to watch the original. We were amused by the old stop motion animation special effects, and so we laughed, but not with any ill will, we were just amazed at what was back then an innovative filmmaking attempt. Years ago, creative controllers wanted to do so much,...
