Giant scorpions, the serpent-haired Medusa, the Kraken (of course), and the rest of Ray Harryhausen's spectacular stop-motion mythological creatures are only one half of the fun. The other is an ensemble cast including some of Britain's finest actors (Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Claire Bloom), playing Greek Gods who squabble, snipe, and gripe like jealous lovers over the fate of Greek hero Perseus (Harry Hamlin).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/06\/clash-of-the-titans\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 8 p.m. tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong>, <strong>The Entertainment Collective<\/strong> presents <strong>Indie Visuals<\/strong>, <strong>Tugboat<\/strong>, <strong>The Untouchables<\/strong>, and <strong>AveChop<\/strong> <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2014\/06\/rochester-ny-the-entertainment-collective-presents-indie-visuals-headlining-act-from-buffalo-w-tugboat-the-untouchables-avechop-cultr-club-to-follow-bands-at-11-pm\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight and tomorrow and July 15 through July 19 at 9:15 p.m. is the <strong>Hill Cumora Pageant<\/strong> at the <strong>Hill Cumorah Visitors Center<\/strong> (653 SR 21, Palmyra). <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/hill-cumora-pageant\/Event?oid=2374884\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, July 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over at the <strong>Record Archive<\/strong> from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. is an <strong>Art Opening<\/strong> for works by <strong>Frank Argento<\/strong> titled <strong>Pop Icon Series Of Charcoal Drawings<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/recordarchive.com\/events\/66\/\">Record Archive website<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at <strong>Writers and Books<\/strong> is a <strong>Mrs. Mark Twain Book Release<\/strong>, \"the first book-length biography of Olivia Langdon Clemens, Mark Twain's wife.

Slightly schizoid billionaire turned caped crusader Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton, fresh off Burton's Beetlejuice and surprisingly well cast) battles a deranged, disfigured criminal psychopath (Jack Nicholson) as well as his own personal demons against the backdrop of Gotham City.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2014\/06\/batman\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saturday, July 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. is the <strong>Corn Hill Arts Festival<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/corn-hill-arts-festival\/Event?oid=2299574\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jul-7]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting at <strong>Star Alley<\/strong> park, the <strong>Young Urban Preservationists<\/strong> present <strong>Bikes Beer and Buildings &mdash; Rochester's First Bike Scavenger Hunt<\/strong> starting at 12:30 p.m. Alas, it's not really a scavenger hunt at all since it's predicated on getting Instagram and Munzee (\"a QR code based scavenger hunt app\") on your smartphone. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/landmarksociety.org\/yup\/\">Landmark Society website<\/a>, 2014-Jun-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>At 2 p.m. at the <strong>Sully Branch<\/strong> of the <strong>Public Library<\/strong> is a discussion titled <strong>Command Your Energy Bill<\/strong>. \"Learn how to remove pesky fees from your energy bill, protect yourself from energy fraud, how to apply for state energy grants, and more!!

But visibility is not merely an act of self-promotion for this dissident artist who keeps an active online presence partly to preempt charges by the authorities.

Their various family members, as well as a cop, a nurse, and a young boy, are all connected in unexpected ways&mdash;forecasting a climax of biblical proportions.
