"When
presenting Harryhausen with a special Academy Award, actor Tom Hanks
told Harryhausen 'Lots of people say Casablanca or Citizen
Kane is the greatest film of all time... no way, it's Jason and the
Argonauts!'" -Wikipedia
"In April 2004, Empire magazine
ranked Talos
[the 100-foot tall bronze titan in Jason
and the Argonauts] as the second best movie monster of all
time, after King Kong." -Wikipedia
A couple of the most influential and inspirational persons to me as an author were two college professors. They inspired me in many ways, but especially for their open-mindedness and thoughtful comments on my first four papers that challenged academic paradigms. Had these professors instead put up a brick wall or gone about hen-pecking (like my experience with the politically-motivated anonymous reviewers in anthropology), then it is likely that I would have taken my creative efforts far away from academia. It is professors like these who are open-minded that help to promote new ideas and new ways of seeing the world. I have included a few of their comments below.
"This
joyous labor
is clearly above my capacity to comment upon. I feel ill-equipped to
indicate anything beyond telling I enjoyed it immensely! Thoughtful,
courageous, highly esthetic, informed, informative, sweet, warm,
colorful, sad, insightful, tender, cathartic, wonderful, revealing,
Paul Simonesque, Bob Dylan, Dylan Thomas, Tom Waits. The Kandinsky
Kannection would/might less intimidating. Thanks for selecting this.
