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:

Happy 90th!! I have all of my favorite Harryhausen films on DVD. When I watch them I get real nostalgic. You can have CGI...I'll take a Harryhausen flick anyday!!

Ah, maybe that's why Clash of the Titans was on TV yesterday heh...

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