“Why do I like clowns so much? Why are they so powerful to children? Probably because they are dangerous. That kind of danger is really what it’s all about. It’s that kind of stuff that I think gets you through life. Those are the only things worth expressing, in some ways: danger and presenting subversive subject matter in a fun way.”-Tim Burton
I was just sitting there, minding my own business, when suddenly I realized.
Ray Harryhausen is pretty darn cool.
(^Fun Fact! Tom Baker got the part of Doctor Who because of his acting in this movie.^)
Just thought I’d let you know.
i’ve had real artist’s block the last couple days — not the kind where i just don’t feel like doing it and i watch crappy movies on netflix and eat one hundred almonds, but the kind where i keep trying to draw things (specifically, roy campanella, since he’s due on every hall of famer) and failing. this sketch of marvin zindler is the only thing i have drawn in three days that i can stand to look at. :(
Natural Born Killers is the only Oliver Stone film that I enjoy. If every one of his films were like this, he would be one of my favorite filmmakers ever. NBK shares the utter lack of subtlety with all of his other work but it doesn’t pretend it’s something it’s not and ends up being endlessly entertaining and funny.
