The Kraken wasn't just a part of classical mythology, or modern movies. It was apparently feared by many sailors. Although perhaps not the Kraken from the original "Clash of the Titans," which was super-hokey.
I have to admit that every time that Clash of the Titans commercial comes on and Liam Neeson shouts "Release the Kraken!", I think about the gossip surrounding his--er--endowment, and giggle like an idiot. Because I'm 12.
There's a typo here. I think you meant to write that "the Kraken [...] was super-AWESOME!" Okay, maybe not scary. Merely awesome.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Kracken in the 2nd Pirates of The Carribbean movie, spraying green slime all over the always awesome Johnny Depp. :)

ReplyDeleteMark! I was going to say, "... by which you mean, super-AWESOME!"
