Sit close, kids. Harryhausen wants to talk to you!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a treat for you cinephiles out there! Below is a link that will take you to NPR's website with 6 minutes of audio from an interview with the man behind some of the most memorible creatures in cinema history. As far as I'm concerned, Harryhausen is a national treasure (though he lives in London, so I guess that'd make him a Global Treasure) and if you haven't gotten a look at his book RAY HARRYHAUSEN: AN ANIMATED LIFE, then go thee hence to the nearest book store or your favorite internet book store and take a gander. It's a must own for any self-respecting geek! Anyway, on with the man himself! Enjoy it, folks! I know you will!
Harry:

of the man. From NPR Sunday... If you post this you can call me "Ice
Cream Soldier"CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO STORIES FROM THE MOUTH OF THE MAN HIMSELF!!!

Harryhausen is a genius. Shame I haven't had time to listen to the interview yet.
-
Without this man. His spiritual partner Ray Bradbury is also one of the greatest imaginations the world has known. St Harryhausen's day must dawn!
-
somewhere someones probably thinking about remaking his films using cgi
-
I think the dvd to "First Men in The Moon" has "The Harryhausen Chronicles" as a special feature. It shows some of Ray's earliest work. It's cool to see how even the early primitive stuff has so much atmosphere ( the "brontosaurus" emerging from the ocean onto a misty island is great). It also talks about the skeletons from "Jason and The Argonauts" and others. If you haven't seen it, check it out. You'll like it.

He did great stuff...Jason and the Argonauts is still fun to watch.

this is the man!..one of the guys who i wished was my father when i was growing up(the other being forrest j. ackerman and the other being..my real father!). Thanks Ray! Glad you're still around!..oh yeah..forgot to mention Dick Smith in the list above..does anybody remember the Dick Smith Monster Make-up Kit that came out during the '70's?..it came with w/ an instant latex mix plus casts for rubber appliances..
