Why the hatred for Jason and the Argonauts skeletons?
Ray Harryhausen made a masterpiece in that film and it's brilliance still shines through today. The only thing that could have made it better would have been Captain Kirk and Spock fighting them rather than a bunch of Argonauts.
And yeah, Bohemian Like You ... And now I miss playing with my old band ... We played it on our very first rehearsal, mainly because it was so easy that we could get it right on our first try, with very little practice... Good times!
One of the tags say "Skellingtons", but Jack was nowhere to be found! For shame!
Also, I hope I am NOT the only one who heard Robot Chicken's Skeletor every time I heard "NYAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Well I wanted to get in on the fun by posting a clip of Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz saying "I don't know nuffin' about no skellingtons".
But apparently it's the one movie clip not on YouTube and there is no GIF I could find either. And I've no idea how to make those, so there's a perfectly good plan all skeletoned up.
Eh... Skeletons are only funny with context... otherwise, it's just looks silly...

Oh wait... I stand corrected... Skeletons ARE the context...
Always nice to see the Children of the Hydra's Teeth from Jason and the Argonauts (1963) get some respect. That was one of the movies I practically wore out our VCR with as a kid. Their scene is definitely one of Ray Harryhausen's greatest achievements, which is saying something.
