I saw Jason and The Argonauts at the theatre. It was before I was in elemtary school, and it was still an old movie. However, I loved it, and every time it comes on some silly channel I watch it.

Of course I loved Clash of the Titans, and I think that's the only movie Harry Hamlin was in that was worth a shit.

I also remember watching Sinbad with my bro when I was a kid, and I know I've seen the dino flick(s).


Also, I'm astonished that one of my threads has lasted three pages.:) This is an HDC first.

He lectures at film schools, attends book and convention signings and recieves testamonials. Not a bad life, surrounded by fans and respected by peers. An amazing man who deserves the accolades.

I remember being so inspired by Harryhausen when I was like 10 or 12 I built this whole landscape in my room with some clay dinosaurs. I never got around to filming them, but Harryhausen images filled my dreams for years. The moving skeletons were my favorites.

I can't tell you how NICE it is to see a thread about Ray Harryhausen here! One of my earliest special effects heroes...

Not really! Stop motion animation is still done, you'll be happy to know. I've animated several stop-motion scenes for recent films.

I have a couple of things to be released in the near future, and you can go to the store and get Anchor Bay's "The Entity" DVD, which has a documentary featuring some of my stop-motion stuff. (I also built some puppets for "Elf.")

When I was really small I used to rent 8mm reels of Harryhausen's films from the library for a quarter apiece, and that was I think the only way I could see them at that time. They were all black and white silent prints. It was better than the candy bar the same 25 cents might have bought. Then one day "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" came on TV and I got to see it in color, with the sound blaring, and it just grabbed me, I don't know how to describe it. To this day, I am still in awe of that film.

Yes...the original "The Entity" from 1980-something. The new Anchor Bay DVD is good and it has a new documentary that features my effects recreation of one of the scenes that took place when the true-life story happened.
