Harryhausen Master Class: John Landis on Jason and the Argonauts 

For the past week, I have been on a John Landis binge. Pulling up every conversation, interviews I can kind find. He never disappoints. I am constantly learning so much about the industry.

Landis is a genius with an encyclopedia-like knowledge of cinema. He's also as brilliant a storyteller in front of the camera as he his behind the camera. I love listening to this man.

Jason and the Argonauts is always AMAZING 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯👌🏼🎖

Absolutely fascinating stuff for us film buffs. Just great stuff!!

I love Landis work but I just watched episode 4 of Cursed Films on Shudder about the tragedy on the set of Twilight Zone the movie.

I'd love to hear Landis's story about the weird burial ceremony that inspired AWIL just to see if it is indeed real.

Its not a John Landis interview without him saying the word 'horny'.

Jon Landis has become my new Hollywood Hero :)

There were seven (not six) skeletons at the end of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, one for each head of the Hydra.

Twilight Zone: The Movie 1983 were the great Actor Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child actors were ALL beheaded in a film he directed and was responsible for their deaths

Most everything that he said about Dick Smith was accurate, except for the part about him re-using the "Little Big Man" prosthetics on other actors. That is absolutely untrue and since he was a good friend, I happen to know firsthand. The very first extreme old age (over 100) that he did was for the "Dark Shadows" TV show. He carefully used photos of extremely old people to arrive at the final look and the only reason that these makeups appear similar, is because of something that Dick told me personally. He said that when doing his research and examining the photos, after we hit about 90, the bags under our eyes disappear and it all melds together, and the definition of the lips goes as well. We pretty much look pretty similar in that state of old age and going by the actors life mask he them sculpted features that he thought would actually age that way. He had just moved from TV to films and tasked with creating 121 year old Jack Crabbe makeup on Dustin Hoffman, He of course made an entirely new sculpture that was done over Dustin's lifecast. So although these makeup may appear similar to this hyperactive guy, they are actually very different.

He's a killer director!

for those wondering... he is remorseful for the accident. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P3wmx5Fr6NU.html

How about lowering the lights so the man doesn't have to hold his hand over his eyes so he could see the people?

movies should be watched on t.v or cinema not ipod

@58:34 Dang, that was a rather harsh education.

Landis nailed trump back in 2015.

Jesus.Is King of Kings ! ( Praise Jesus ! The Wrath of the Lamb is coming ! I would hate to be anyone who is willfully Ignorant of this !

A horrible human being, he has blood on his hands. Should be rotting behind bars.

Ah yes the man responsible for several children’s deaths. What can we learn from him?

A blind man could see what happens when you curse the gods.. you just said that right? And then you go and you curse your own God.. which is the only God that counts, anyway.. I found that very disappointing
