“She’s ready, Sister. Just plug her in and off you go.”

IT’S A SHAME ABOUT RAY

Ray Harryhausen is gone. 

If you don’t know the name, you may know his work.

I know a lot of this looks clunky by today’s CGI standards, but when I was a kid this was how you did it. Stop-motion was an art, and Harryhausen was the master. You’ll hear this a lot from other tributes, but it’s true. 

Granted, I’m biased and old. But I grew up on Sinbad and Jason & The Argonauts and giant monsters, and they fascinated me and spurred my imagination. To say they were a major influence on my upbringing is an understatement. 

Respect.
