The legend that is Ray Harryhausen animates me.

The legend that is John Landis surprises us both.

Oh YAY!!! I was SO hoping for pictorial enjoyment of your visit with Harryhausen and Landis. And you smiled. Double YAY! :0)

Ya' know. I was waiting in line to meet Robert Rodriguez at Comic Con and someone totally cut in front of me in line. And you know who it was? John Freakin Landis.

Slick

Hmm...what's best? FISTFUL OF...DOLLARS, YEN, TRAVELER'S CHEQUES or FINGERS?? Tough choice!

That's adorable. I don't know why i used that word, but it somehow seems appropriate to me.

And I randomly met John Landis in the halls of Comic-Con. Twice. I left the line for Futurama to go get a photo with him, and when I came back, everyone was asking me who he was. For shame.

Had the pleasure of meeting both gentlemen, both of them amazing and gracious, but never both at once! Too much fun.

I hope you and Ray have stellar cameos in his next flick, Edgar!

Worth pointing out that this is in the basement back office of Forbidden Planet so I cannot confirm who the Megan Fox fan is.

OH Wow, It's got to be time for a Ray Harryhausen revival, does he still make animations?
or is he enjoying a well earned retirement? love to meet the man.

A guy a used to work with me Ray Harryhausen and few years ago. He got tickets to a talk he was giving, and said he went along dressed normally (C-3PO t-shirt, baggy jeans, wallet chain etc) to what turned out to be quite a formal event with everyone else in suits and shirts etc. Anyhoo, he said he went up at the end to get his book signed, and then asked Ray why he didn't do animation any more, to which he said "Because Star Wars ruined everything..." :O.

Anyhoozle, the mans a legend. And bloody Landis too! What fabulous circles to you move in that you can just be 'surprised' by a visit from John Landis, as if he was some kooky neighbour...
