RAY HARRYHAUSEN’S JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
Ray
Harryhausen’s Jason and the Argonauts - Directed
by Don Chaffey, produced by Charles H. Schneer, based on a myth by Apollonios
Rhodios, a 3rd century Greek author. With music by Oscar winning Bernard
Herrmann, Jason and the Argonauts is a cultural compass. This independent film
was made with material by stop
motion animation master Ray Harryhausen. The skeleton fight scene and battle are
pure fantasy. He made many other mythical creatures famous, along with himself.
Such as, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, The Three Worlds of Gulliver, and Mysterious
Island. The film score was composed by Hermann, who also worked with Harryhausen on the fantasy films.

FRAGMENTATION OF THE DEAD
FraGMENTATION of the
Dead - With confirmation Andrew Lincoln will depart in season 9, will
The Walking Dead be forced into cancellation without Rick or Carl? Although,
let’s be honest, Chandler could have never lived up to the part. Shh. Anyway, I’ve
been watching this news, and other rumors. Here are the highlights of what’s
going on right now. Producers confirm season nine will jump ahead 18 months
following last season's battle between Rick and Negan. Rick, Maggie and Daryl
upend an alliance and havoc breaks loose. Seems to me showrunners recklessly
killed off Shane and Carl, and now Daryl is the only one left, besides Carol.
Norman Reedus got $20 million to lead the show here on out. There are rumors Daryl will lead the show
into a spinoff unrelated to the TWD. Nobody could’ve predicted the extent of
this hit to bring strong interest for zombies of the apocalypse.
