revdorothyl at 04:31pm on 07/05/2013 under animationI just heard on the news that Ray Harryhausen died today, and so I had to pause to reflect on the end of an era -- an epoch, even -- in sci-fi and fantasy film-making.
Though I only saw one of his films in a first-run theater (the Harry Hamlin version of "Clash of the Titans", long before the actor cut his hair and buttoned up for "L.A. Law"), I grew up on his "Sinbad" and other fantastic/monster movies in TV reruns.
At the risk of sounding (and being) trite, there is one less Titan among us here on earth.
