I quite liked that, somehow perfect in its way for this particular evening, but the sense is there is still so much to be told.
A fascinating figure indeed.

I was literally just talking about Phil Tippett the other day with another mefite and had been poking around some links to assemble a post in the next few days.

I haven't watched this yet, but in case it's not addressed, Phil Tippett is this guy.

What an adorable old coot! I thought the video was well done - documentary, but with some poetry.

It's a good thing he took acid, otherwise who knows if Vice would've interviewed him.
