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.

    • This post was an error. Oops and sorry for the errors in the previous one. Too slow to edit.   We’ll see what they do.  
    • I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.  
    • At least we have Mike Kay and his little buddy sidekick whoever to put you to sleep when suffering from insomnia. They're all useless unfortunately.
