The movie was a milestone for childhood dreams, and the Ackerman, Bradbury, Harryhausen ect.......interactions were always of interest. Terribly funny one liners not withstanding, Bradbury was interesting, and often intriguing when interviewed.

Bradbury was not a saint, nor was he consistent in everything he did throughout his life. Look no further than the excellent interview book LISTEN TO THE ECHOES, where he speaks his mind at length. Seeing Ray Bradbury as my favorite writer, while also as a flawed human being like everyone else, was not a problem for me while he was alive. So while this posthumous nitpicking of his alleged faults, wackier behaviors, and supposedly offensive opinions may be of interest to some, it is a giant snooze for me. Thank you for crystallizing my thoughts on the subject, AR. No problem.

Someone said they liked it better than Truffaut's adaptation. There is a thread that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends. Some people started it not knowing that a tree can walk, And they'll keep posting forever about a movie they can mock...

They can, however, puke like a sunnovabich.

After high school, I'd had enough of school. Going later in life, I think I would have enjoyed it more and gotten more out of it. Am I sorry I went? Well, my life is not better for it, I don't remember most of the stuff I was taught, and it's never gotten me a "better" job. I worked in publishing for years as a graphic designer, most of which I learned on my own and my fancy college degree got me a starting pay at around what I'm getting now. I know I didn't go where the jobs were, so to speak. We live in NJ, and dad was always saying, "Go to New York." I had (have) no interest in working in the city. Nothing about that appeals to me. So, right now, I do a little graphics occasionally (can't compete with India, Pakistan and the internet) and do what ever else comes along while my girlfriend and I try to get our animal welfare organization off the ground, which I'm very excited about, but again, won't really make me any money. Sorry for the long answer. Didn't mean to take away from the Beast!

But I wouldn't trade the wages for having lived the majority of my life in rural America. To keep it on-topic, the guy with the most college in Beast got eat up.

I thought Snoopy was Charlie Brown's dog, but I finally got around to watching the copy of this I'd forgotten I had and found recently. And I agree that part is one of the best parts. Along with: The main title sequence and music, complete with whirlpool. Cars being stamped flat. The cop being eaten. Lee showing Tom the dinosaur pictures. and especially: The fight between the shark and the octopus. There is a thread that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends.
