"My job is to plumb the depths, so to speak. Dredge up something from inside, something honest. I gotta tell you, the life of the mind…there’s no roadmap for that territory. And exploring it can be painful. The kind of pain most people don’t know anything about. This must be boring you."

— Barton Fink, stuck in his own head and loving it

Ray Harryhausen died—my old convention pal from Barcelona in 2008. He was hard of hearing then but his mind was clear as a bell and he told some pretty incredible stories. He told me a lot about Mighty Joe Young and different armatures for some of his creations. And you better believe I wanted to hear everything about those sword-fighting skeletons.
