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.
