Famed movie special effects artist Ray Harryhausen turns 90 today:

I think all UY fans should be familiar with Harryhausen's work, especially if their favorite UY stories are the ones with lots of monsters, like "Yokai" and "Sumi-E."
To celebrate Harryhausen's 90 birthday, I plan to watch the Blu-Ray copy of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad I got from Netflix:

Someone on another board I read posted a link to this neat tribue video:

There's an exhibition of Harryhausen's work at the London Film Museum you should probably go see if you have a chance:
