The Harryhausen Chronicles (E-mail Posted 9/30/98)
Last night AMC showed a one-hour documentary, "The Harryhausen Chronicles", about the life and work of stop-motion pioneer Ray Harryhausen. If you've ever enjoyed THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, or others, you should keep an eye out for the re-broadcast of this. Highlights included several pieces of previously unseen footage, some amateur stuff from early in Harryhausen's career, and some professional stuff from films that were never completed. I was also fascinated to learn that Harryhausen and Ray Bradbury met as teenagers and became life-long friends.
The show was narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

SF Artists in NH
The artwork of two SF/Fantasy illustrators is currently on display in New Hampshire.
Romas Kukalis is perhaps best known for covers of several R.A. Salvatore novels.
Gary Lippincott has illustrated numerous children's fantasies, and has in the past appeared at King Richard's Faire where I was lucky enough to buy a print directly from the artist.
They are exhibiting works until 1 November at:
