In today's NY Times crossword, the answer to 1 Across was 'HARPY', and my first thought was
Jason and the Argonauts .
Legendary, iconic; in this case, totally appropriate adjectives.

Viewing "Jason and the Argonauts" as a child inspired me to start reading up on Greek and Roman mythology. Which helped to open up a whole world of great literature.

Hey, the guy had a great life. I wish he could have done the John Carter and Conan movies he wanted to do.

I always loved his stuff. It's amazing to see one man be so dominant over a particular technique.

We've lost a lot of talent recently. Harryhausen's work was cool stuff as a kid,and it will remain cool stuff for generations to come. RIP

Another fond memory. Saw this on the big screen in India in 1979:VIDEO The sabertooth tiger in particular. It's amazing how lifelike the movement is.
