Quote:A lot (most) of the Harryhausen stuff, seeing as how they were independently produced (and with low budgets), often times look pretty cheap. Anybody tried watching Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger lately?

Quote:My love of kaiju and animation feel like two different things. I'm not at all tempted to compare the genres (if animation is even a genre - ?), and certainly not choose one over the other. They're separate things and I love both of 'em equally.
Quote:August, any chance you posting this comic? I (and many others, I bet) would love to see it.

Quote:Eye isn't a very good movie to guage Harryhausen by...the opening credit sequence...comes off as a 70s made-for-TV movie of the week. His animation is top quality as always, but the production surrounding it, eh...

Quote:It Came From Beaneath The Sea would probably be a second least favorite for different reasons - cheap looking wouldn't be one of them
Quote:I would like to have seen a bit more done with the Minotaun...maybe have had him go head-to-head with Trog.

Quote:Ray's website says that he'll be at the San Diego Comic Con at the end of this month, but its not mentioned on the comic con website. Does anyone know for certain one way or the other?

EYE OF THE TIGER wasn't an award-winning score, either, but there was just something about CLASH that makes me wince. (And the one shot where Perseus goes to cut the rope after first mounting Pegasus...when he raises his sword and pauses, it's like he's striking a pose that throws off the pace of what should be an exciting scene.)

I agree wholeheartedly with you, BijouBob! I always thought that Alex North would have been a perfect choice to do the score for the film. At the time, he was doing the score for DRAGONSLAYER. I did a little experiment. I have the CD soundtrack of North's score for 1963's CLEOPATRA. I synched the music from the cue "Caesar's Assassination" with the beheading of Medusa. Fantastic! The music puts one in mind of a slithering snake to begin with. What did Rosenthal use for this sequence?.. a harpsicord. A HARPSICORD!! Works great for The Addams family or The Bookworm on TV's Batman, but not here.Sorry. Not IMHO.
