RIP Ray Harryhausen (1920 - 2013)

[beamjockey]

Raymond Frederick Harryhausen, master of special effects whose work appeared in countless movies, has passed away.

I can't help wondering: Did he donate his skeleton to an animation school?

I saw him (and Ray Bradbury) at Dragon Con 1998.

And a friend of mine worked with him.

Sure you're not thinking of Del Close?

I had forgotten about Del Close, a fellow of infinite jest. But yeah, something like that is what I had in mind.

My admittedly terribly crass, black humor sort of reaction to this news was "all stop. No motion."

Sad to see him go.

Or "No longer animated."

Sad to see him go.

Perhaps you mean "Sad to see him not go."
