Ray Harryhausen, Visual Effects Master, Dies Aged 92
New submitter Diakoneo writes "According to the BBC, 'Visual effects master Ray Harryhausen, whose stop-motion wizardry graced such films as Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans, has died aged 92. The American animator made his models by hand and painstakingly shot them frame by frame to create some of the best-known battle sequences in cinema.' Some of my fondest cinematic memories from my youth are from Ray Harryhausen."
If messin' with Medusa results in living to age 92, and dying famous and beloved --- where's the line to get my bitch ass served likewise?
On one hand this is absolutely morbid...but he would have probably loved it!

Oh he'd have enjoyed the hell out of it! I remember seeing years ago a "masters of movie magic" about Harryhausen and Winston and you could tell by listening to their stories that they loved the hell out of their work, you got the impression they probably would have done it for free if they had to,because they just loved making the creatures come alive.
RIP Mr Harryhausen, I think I'll fire up some Golden Voyage Of Sinbad, I was lucky enough to see that at the drive in when i was a kid and his work still looks cool. I think I cheered for every monster, especially the statue with the swords, too awesome!
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
When I saw the tributes coming in, I was moved.
Then I was moved a little more.
And I was moved a little more still...
