Ben RamseyBeware the man who has one shoe! His name…is Brian!
Russell Crowe went back in time to play Zeus in this movie.
FUCK! He has only one sandal!
The ash man reminds me of Michael Palin dressed as the “it man” from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
This movie is too religious. Always the gods this, and the gods that.
“Zeus, why does your transporter beam make everything 25x bigger?”
“The gods are best served by those who want their help least.”
I love this line. It’s like Zeus is saying, “We want to do the least, so we’ll choose the mortal who wants our help the least.”
This was Hercules before his lifting days.
Hercules’s requirements for a woman: “a firm leg, a full bosom, and a warm heart.”
I liked Lou Ferrigno’s Hercules better. This Hercules is a bumbling idiot.
I mean, Ferrigno’s Hercules was no less an idiot, but he wasn’t bumbling.
Jason’s like, “Shit, Hercules! What’d you do this time?”
I thought Jason was going to climb up into him and find the control room. I didn’t think he's be filled with scalding water and red lights.
I think Terry Gilliam sampled some of this soundtrack for The Crimson Permanent Assurance.
Bro, you really think Hercules is the best one among you?
“I don’t sin every day” is perhaps the greatest defense I’ve ever heard.
Like, dudes, the harpies are just doing their harpy things. Don’t mess with them, and they won’t mess with you.
The next scene is a ton of fruit they are laying out on the table. Did the harpies provide all that?
I hope those harpies get free and come after them.
“There’s not much water here…even though it’s the ocean.”
I love this old dude who’s basically always in his tighty whiteys on the ship.
Is this like a sarlac pit in the middle of the sea?
“There’s no turning back on this voyage, though I’ve forgotten why we’re doing this, by now. Just like the audience has forgotten.”
Wow. Jason has gone from kind of devout, yet with little need for the gods, which is why Zeus liked him, to completely against the gods and ready for all humans to do without them.
When Poseidon shows up and holds back the rock walls, and you get a really good whiff of his armpit as you sail under him, you know you’ve got the good gods on your side.
The gods are angry with Nashville tonight. (We’re under a tornado watch.)
“Euphemus, we will miss you so much, even though we knew your name for only this 60 seconds of film time.”
Is the statue dancing back-and-forth, or is that the shrooms?
Oh, so they’re there to steal it and cause a genocide? Well, down with them. Jason and the Argonauts are the baddies.
Someone else mentioned how we’re seeing such glorious dad bod, and wow! We really are. I only wish my dad bod was as magnificent.
“See, Jason. If you take the fleece, all my people will die. So…I love you.”
Why is a hydra guarding the golden fleece anyway?
That’s the way to kill a hydra. Don’t bother with its heads. Go straight for its heart.
Why does old man tighty whitey have a tunic on?
What? They couldn’t get the hydra’s teeth without that massive fireworks show?
Jason, you've fought enough battles to know you shouldn’t willy nilly yank out an arrow like that.
Did they just use up all the power of the fleece? It’s no longer shiny.
Oh, wow! That entire fight sequence with the skeletons was amazing.
I enjoyed Jason and the Argonauts!

Which side of Oak Ridge? I’m on the west side of Oak Ridge.
