Clash Of The Titans was never my favourite I just hated that owl, it really pissed me off so much.
I think because it was such a lame attempt to recreate R2-D2 from Star Wars and I never really – probably one of the few people who you’d talk to who actually enjoyed the remake of Clash of The Titans than the original - just because it didn’t have the owl in it. Well it did, but very fleeting.
That for me as a kid, that was my Jar-Jar Binks, I really disliked it.
Jason And The Argonauts was my favourite from Harryhausen.
For me the classic scene in that was always the skeletons coming out of the earth, it’s just a remarkably good scene.
Just incredibly choreographed when you think you’ve got your actors up there, pretty much dancing round with nothing to refer to.
Actors complain now about acting with green screens, imagine what it was like in the Harryhausen time. Where there were no pre-visualizations and you didn’t have a whole load of storyboards to show an actor.
It’s just kind of stare off there and imagine you’re fighting skeletons.

Wasn't it Palmer (David Clennon) who says that line in 'The Thing'?

Please don't give this hack any more publicity. He took on fantastic possibilities and turned out some of the most shallow, poorly executed tripe out there. How he ever got to make the films he did, I will never know. It was like taking Shakepeare and handing its legacy to the worst tabloid journalist.

Totally wasn't Kurt Russell who stated that "you've gotta be kidding" line.

Yeah, I despise Paul "W*nk Stain" Anderson as a director. I hate that he directed Death Race, as that's a guilty pleasure of mine....

Oh god did he do Soldier as well?? What the hell happened on the set of Event Horizon??? Did someone else direct it unknowingly? It is literally the only decent movie to his name!

I feel sorry for other Paul Anderson, the one that makes classic epic movies that define convention. Sharing a name with a talentless tool, must be like finding out your long lost brother is a half-beached mantee ...with the sh*ts,

Hello my name is Paul W Anderson. I saw Alien when I was at school, though I probably shouldn’t have done. It left an indelible impression on me. Such an impression that I took, it raped it, multiple times, killed it, p****d on it and raped it one more time for good luck, therefore completely ruining it's legacy by turning them into a kind of lame version of themselves. Also at the same time I took an equally iconic monster repeated my progress by turning the predator into Teddy Rukspin. I can't wait to my hands on that popular video game series and turn that into CGI mess where my wife runs around on wires doing flips and running up walls killing face-less corporation militia. And if your not too busy take a look at the list of other monsters that I would also like to dig up, sodomise, mutilate it, burn it, and place on screen in front of a green sheet and call it Pinhead vs The Smurfs vs The Thing; After-Apocolyptic Nightmare Revolations Nine Bye Bye now I'm off for tea over at Uwe Boll's house and play lets be directors

dont get me wrong i enjoyed resident evil, its silly but fun, but what he did to the Alien & Predator franchise is something no so called fan should do, i read that he wrote the script as well, and if this is true then this pile of dung movie is his fault only... not slagging him off as a director but leave the scripts alone please

GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND! Hah, please! That's an alternate title for GODZILLA VS. GIGAN. What he's talking about is DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. Fool.

Anderson speaks of comedy and horror, being a difficult combination to pull off, when talking about American Werewolf in London. Just like his directorial skill is a very difficult thing to pull off, which he has managed only once. One trick pony, springs to mind.
