Who's the Man?

Ray Harryhausen's the man. Last night I had the pleasure of watching a 50th anniversary screening of "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". Ray was in attendance and made DVD style commentaries throughout. Very fun indeed.

And here's another cool image....



This here is Ray as a youngster animating on one of my all time favorite cartoons. George Pal's puppetoon "Hoola Boola". Now you know where I get my compooter ID from.

I can't begin to tell you all how proud I am of working with the fella. The highlight of my career for sure.

Beef schmeef.

143 million pounds of frozen beef has just been recalled by the FDA. That's enough for every American to have one burger...scary. What disturbs me is that there wasn't any specifics as to why the meat was recalled. All the FDA said was the meat is "unfit for human consumption". Most of that meat was sent to public schools all across California. Pretty sad, all those animals poorly treated and slaughtered for nothing. I'm pretty much decided I'm done with red meat.... watch out you chickens.
