lostboy is getting too old for the lostboy moniker and is need of a new handle.
May 7 lostboy commented on Ray Harryhausen.
COMTE @3, thanks for the Netflix recommendation.
May 7 lostboy commented on Ray Harryhausen.
Harryhausen was a genius pioneer whose acclaim is richly deserved, and it is well that we mourn his passing.

This, though:
… I've yet to see a digital monster that impresses me the way a good Harryhausen creature impresses me.

strikes me as rank sentimentality.

Sure, there is plenty of crap CGI creature work out there, just as there was plenty of crap stop-motion and optical effects work by Harryhausen wannabes back in the day. Effects have in fact progressed, though, and the work of serious CGI artists has long since surpassed the best of the stop-motion and miniature-model era.

The skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are still amazing, though.
May 6 lostboy commented on I Hope We'll at Least Get a Stirring Courtroom Speech Out of This.
Pantsing Judy Bloom would be inexcusable, agreed, but it's a distant second to this.
Apr 23 lostboy commented on Thank Seattle's Corporate Overlords for This Year's Fireworks.
Intern @4, anytime. Now you can start your portfolio of editor blackmail material.

"...unclear how the change in management will affect..."
Apr 23 lostboy commented on What Do You Think of the Internet Sales Tax?.
Like @7, I can't check any of the choices. I dislike sales taxes in general for their regressive nature, but given our state's dependence on it, I'm in favor of finally closing this gaping loopchasm.
Mar 16 lostboy commented on Sarah Palin Just Spoke at CPAC.
fARTing @20, are you sure? I see no claim not to have pissed in the glass.
Mar 15 lostboy commented on Prisoners of Color Have Less Access to Education Than White Prisoners.
Sargon @5, can you afford the to pay for the criminals' needless return to the room and board of prison? For the cost of police, courts, and prosecutors to respond to the repeat crimes they might otherwise not have committed? For the global increase in insurance costs--health and property both--to clean up their later messes? For the gazillion other societal costs of increased crime?

You're so fixated on whether the prisoners deserve support that it's blinding you to whether supporting them is better for everyone else, including yourself.
Mar 15 lostboy commented on Addedum to SL Letter of the Comments.
Excellent and well said. Thank you for adding this to the Slog.
Mar 6 lostboy commented on Poll Shows Voters Love Council Member Licata, Don't Know Who the Hell O'Brien Is.
The Dreyfuss joke really wasn't funny the first time. Each new unexplained repetition, dependent on readers remembering the ever-further-removed original, just seems more confusing and unprofessional than the last.
