Ad Astra next year: you know you want to

[danaeris]

You know you all want to! It'll be great, and even more importantly, I'll be there! It will be DANAELICIOUS!

To discuss, check out adastra_con.

I confess, I have no idea who Ray Harryhausen and Betsy Mitchell are. Anyone able to fill me in?

I didn't realize that Harryhausen was still alive... he's one of the luminaries of movie special effects, and one of the best stop motion animators there ever were.

He'd be best known for the Sinbad films, 'Jason and the Argonauts', or 'The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms'.

He was also a childhood friend of Ray Bradbury, and they are both like unto gods, and I must worship them.

Didn't he also do "Clash of the Titans?"

Alas, yes...

Hey! I liked that movie.

Sorry about that. I'm an old codger you see. ;) I grew up with the Sinbad films, so Clash didn't live up to my expectations at the time.

Betsy Michell is an editor. I just cant remember with which publishing firm.
