The great genius Ray Harryhausen has passed away.

This guy just might quietly be the most influential person in film in the last 75 years. Yes. I said 75 years.

 

What kid in the 70's and 80's didn't break out a Super 8 and try to make their own stop motion film?

 

Totally loved all of his work. Some samples:

I got to meet him in 2003, what a gracious and humble guy he was. The show I'm working at next week just announced that we're showing a bunch of his work on a super 8 mm projector Saturday night, should be a lot of fun. Look on YouTube for his test footage of the martian from War of the Worlds opening up his cylinder, pissed that the movie never got made, I'd way rather see a Harryhausen version that appeared to follow the books a little than the admittedly cool one that actually got made in the 50s.

Found out about it in 95 on a business trip and have gone back every year. Started working for them in 04. It's all about scifi and horror etc. models, effects, art, got to meet many many heroes there, and it's always a blast to be there. People come from all over the country and the world for it. Next year will be the 25th anniversary of the show.

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
