Clash of the Titans has many things I love but at the same time causes frustration. The biggest issue is how far the story veers off from the tale of Perseus which has been one of my favorites since childhood. This gets to the point where Greek mythology is such a superficial element it feels wrong calling this an adaptation. There’s Charon, who has a boat and needs a coin, but here he’s a skeleton and does not transport souls to the Underworld. There’s Pegasus who’s a flying horse, but he is not born out of Medusa’s blood etc. As someone who has always wanted an adaptation of the myth I am disappointed such a great opportunity was lost. Early 80s were the best time for one. Practical effects and actors are perfect, but the plot is not.

Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%. "Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later.
