I never met Ray Bradbury *OR *Ray Harryhausen, and I doubt I would have
known either one by sight.

But I loved Bradbury stories after I read the EC Comic adaptations as a
kid, and I went on to read his stuff and some of his stories were great and
some pretty hard to follow, but he sure was unlike any other sci-fi writer
and in a great way.

And I was lucky enough to see Sinbad and Jason in the theater and I thought
them way better than the regular sci-fi or horror stuff.

The funny thing is, I *STILL *think they wrote and directed light years
ahead of today's people who churn out crap with regularity, and good movies
are fewer and fewer.
