Clash of the Titans
If you enjoyed the movie, you can now attend the conference. In fact, you can attend it even if you thought that the movie was not up to the usual Hollywood standards! There is no doubt on my mind that the papers will be far more interesting and thought provoking. Read the details here:

I did not enjoy the movie. The mystic stories were only playing in the background. And the action plot was kind of boring. So would you mind if I skip the conference?
You can always trash the movie during the conference
