That Tom Savini book… that looked like a ton of fun to dig through :-O Great review of your books James! I wish you had a fun little fact for ‘Jurassic Park’ though, but i’m just being picky.

I don’t know if this really counts as a double feature or not, but not to far from my home, we have a drive in movie theater. It has 4 screens and it starts up in the summertime right as it gets dark and you pay for one movie but get to see 2 🙂 They aren’t old movies ether. Like right now they are showing X-men days of future past. Everyone brings their coolers and snacks and they have a playground for the kids.. So kids are running around playing and chasing each other. A lot fun and nice memory’s there 🙂

James, as an eager bibliophile, I find this series fascinating, nostalgic, inspiring. What you said about Kirk Hammett’s horror book applies here as well: that you share your miscellaneous collections through these videos makes it feel as if your viewers, also, own a part of them.

The sincerity and enthusiasm that you bring to curating the literature, movies, and videogames from your youth sets a personal tone in your videos and allows me reach back into my own memory of these things. What I like, and what I find you do so well at conveying, is the feeling of wonder and importance that comes from looking over and studying all kinds of physical artefacts; you just couldn’t get the same attachment from digital copies. There is something almost ahistorical about digital media, and somehow that lessens their appeal.

Maybe that’s because being able to go back and rediscover physical objects that were there, with us, from years ago is as close as we can get to actually experiencing the past, or revisiting it. One always leaves your videos feeling like there is a lot out there to dream of and explore…

Thanks for this. — A loyal fan of your work.

In reply to Nicholas Taylor. Really??! Can the first person say something better then just say I'm first. It's like watching a bratly kid first in a long line waiting for something. Funny at first but now getting little tiring.

Do you have Ray Harryhausen: An Animated Life? It’s a cool book about about all the stuff he did.
